My older brother doesn't get it and HE used to be a hospital chaplain educator. . Three years back, almost, he let me know that he was "tired of my self-pity" and I communicated back, "Goodbye, you shithead," and haven't communicated with him again because I couldn't handle his aggression and self-centered behavior towards myself and others, esp. towards myself, a couple of our other siblings, and towards my daughter and her husband. . Very unfortunately, he reminds me of our new President in the U.S. who I think he may have actually, very sadly, voted for🙄. . Cool Cat. . .

I never have a problem talking about my depression, to my family or friends. I’m just grateful that I can talk about it and not feel any guilt about it. I know that not everybody can talk to family members or friends, but when feeling at your lowest point please try to find someone who you can talk to , even when f it means coming on this site, we are all here for one another, no matter what time or day. You are worthy you matter.

Hi Scott, God bless you, my friend. . . I have such thoughts all of the time and find that it is very important for me to share them and I am very glad that you shared them on here with us, friend. . . I find that the more that I share such things, the better off and more connected I feel, especially when I get empathic responses from others. . . Please feel free to reach out to me anytime, Scott, about anything. . .
Peace and love,
Cool Cat. . .

I'm the black sheep. While I am the most successful no one in my family likes me.

It’s best to talk to someone, reaching out to them gets you the help you need. Never ever be afraid to talk about it.
