Emotionally Distant Family
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm wondering how to handle my grown children who seem to have forgotten I exist most of the time. We were so close while they were growing up even with all the problems and hard times we often lived through. But now I truly feel they do not care about me at all or have any need to have me in their busy lives. It is truly heartbreaking and makes me question why this has happened and what I have done to drive them away. Plus it makes me feel hurt and angry all the time. I wish I could live my… read more

Married Or Having A Partner Who Is Bipolar
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I currently take antidepressants. My husband is bipolar and takes all of the required medication. I am just wondering if anyone else are in a similar relationship. What are some of the challenges you face as a couple?

How Much Does Physical Pain Cause Depression Or Vice-versa ?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

The reason why I ask is because of my lifelong struggle with sleep, I was always told the sleepiness was most likely caused from depression only to find out later it could be the other way around because of my sleep issues it could and likely does cause depression, or I just have both.

Has Anyone Else Experienced THC Inducing The Same Feelings Of Depression?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I tried THC gummies for the first time, out of curiosity, now that it's legal in my state, and it made me feel spaced out and disconnected from my emotions. (I think this is called "dissociation" in medical terms.) I have felt this way before but without drugs and it usually occurs when I feel extremely sad and depressed. I was shocked that THC could cause this and wonder why people would want to feel this way on purpose. Or is it just the effect it had on me because of my unique biological… read more
