I think this is a great idea. I would like to see information/tips on helping depressed family members and also help with preventing/treating your own depression (which can happen when someone you love is depressed).
Especially anything to do with motivating your spouse, depression and children (when a parent is depressed), danger signs, PPD, and other topics.
I would like topics on depression and college students
I find the stress level is much higher now that my children are older. I can't hide anything from them about their father. I told them that I thought he was bipolar, after some research on the web, but he is not going to to a doctor, he said. I have been whith this man for sixteen years,I am about at my wits end, my patiencs are gone, I think talking to other people will help some.I welcome all words of advise and your prayers.
To Sue,
My husband suffers from depression and I totally identify with your statement, "I about at my wit's end. My patience is gone." In the five years that I have been dealing with my husband's depression my emotions have run the gamut. I have felt anger, rage, frustration, disappointment, despair, and hopelessness. A book that really helped me was The Peacegiver by James Farrell. I felt the book had been written for me.
Hang in there! You mention prayer. I have found prayer to be key in my ability to cope with my emotions and my ability, even desire, to help my husband cope with his. God bless you girlfriend. The light will come.

I also think it is a great idea. I'd like a place for people with a loved one who is stablized to post and share. It is great that there are many opportunities for support through crisis times. I would like a place to go to talk about the issues of day to day life with a person with BP who is stable and ways to enhance life and prevent crisis... Thanks
I would love to know how to help a young adult who does not want to help herself...She will take meds but believes nothing is going to change and does not communictae with the dr nor be willing to try therapy again.
I am so appreciative for this site. I have had many depressive episodes including peri- and post-partum depressions. My biggest regret is terminating my last pregnancy due to a severe peripartum depression. I'd like to see information about pregnancy and depression.
I think this could be really helpful. The only way to understand something like this is to have been through it yourself. I lost my brother to suicide less than four years ago. We didn't realize how he struggled with depression until it was too late. Another brother has been diagnosed bipolar since my brother died. It is heart breaking. It seems to never end.
I am looking forward to communicating with people via this blog. my husband has suffered from depression since I've known him (22 years) but he's always been functional. Four years ago he lost his job and has not conducted a job search since that time. I know (all too well) the feeling of being at my wits end and losing my patience. I try to be supportive but I get very resentful - of having to come home from work and wash dishes, and of having to pay for all his expenses. I feel like he's my son, not my husband. We get along well, but we really have no marriage to speak of. Anyway, I look forward to chatting with other people on this blog. Thanks!!
I appreciate this also. My husband tried to commite suicide two years ago after losing his job and was hospitalized 3 times. He is now doing better but everyday is still a struggle because he is not working and we are having financial struggles as well to deal with.
