“Some of the most comforting words in the universe are “me too.” That moment when you find out that your struggle is also someone else’s struggle, that you’re not alone, and that others have been down the same road.”
-Rob Bell
*I heard you were wonderful at finding these Quotes Kevin- So if you have a better one let’s use that!
Do you feel empty inside?
Do you find it difficult to get out of bed some days?
Have you recently lost pleasure in activities that use to bring you joy?
Do you have a difficult time sleeping?
Do you feel irritable for no apparent reason?
…You are not alone!
Did you know that women are almost twice as likely to become depressed as men? The higher risk may partly be due to hormonal changes brought on by puberty, menstruation, menopause, and pregnancy. What ever the reason, women who suffer from depression can feel very isolated. Our goal is to help you realize you are not alone while participating in the lives of other women struggling with similar experiences.
Objective of Denver Depression Support Group
While sadness touches all of our lives at different times, the illness of depression can have huge depth and staying power. The first step in fighting depression is to understand what it is, how it affects you, and what causes it. With assistance from other women, this group will help you answer these important questions.
Being depressed has nothing to do with personal weakness. The opportunity to share with other women will help you make positive changes in your life and access your inner strength.
