Depression makes me want to stay in bed and cry—but being a wife and mother helps me to get up.
Whether or not researchers have Blue Monday (this year, today, January 13) pinned accurately as the most depressing day of the year, the winter months can be a particularly challenging time for those who struggle with depression. The cold weather, holidays and reduced daylight hours are enough to make anyone feel a little bit sad. But depression is so much more than just feeling sad. Depression is sadness and it’s hopelessness, fear, a paralyzing sense that this is how you’re going to feel forever, that this misery is never going to go away, things won’t get better. Then there’s the guilt: the guilt that comes from feeling like you’re failing everyone around you. Like you should be able to snap out of this and come back to life. Feeling like you’re letting everybody down.
When a man takes advantage of your affection, it's time to get out and get going.
Dear Dr. Romance:
I don't want to be here anymore. Be here on this earth that is, be here in this ole' body of mine. Perhaps you can help. I think I'm simply looking for some inspiration. Also, when I think about no longer being "alive"... I am comforted. This feeling of calm comes over me. That's not a good sign, is it? I'm over fifty years old. I would have to admit I am sad and perhaps frustrated, and yes, maybe a little angry. I'm sure there are people out there who do love me, however, they seldom show it.
The Madoffs have not seen each other since their son Mark committed suicide last year.
After 52 years of marriage (and $20 billion in stolen assets), Bernie Madoff's wife Ruth finally calls it off amid hopes of her saving her relationship with her estranged son.
My toughest audience yet: 50 San Francisco high school seniors two weeks short of graduation. They're a striking, multiracial mix of kids straight out of a Gap billboard--united by their desire to be somewhere else on this gorgeous spring day. Instead their teacher tells them they will spend the next hour with a representative of the state's anti stigma campaign, someone with a mental illness and the parent of a mentally ill son.
Get me out of here, I read on all their faces.
Is your partner depressed? Do you feel like a single parent? Help and quick, easy tips that work.
Depression is a very common emotion. We all become depressed from time to time. Luckily, it does not last long for most of us, however, couples who deal with chronic depression are not so fortunate. Chronic depression returns consistently and, while it is rarely a cause for divorce, it is the cause of other symptoms couples complain about. Depression is often the cause for withdrawal, seeking an affair, physical abuse, emotional abuse and verbal abuse. Couples react to the symptoms of depression rather than confronting the real problem: depression.
More details of Mel and Oksana's January fight surface, including allegations of attempted murder.
For anyone who thought this story couldn't get worse, you were wrong...Apparently, after Mel punched Oksana twice in the head, she fell to the bed and he began choking her with his forearm—while she was holding their baby daughter Lucia. After Oksana got loose from Mel's grasp, he allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened to kill her, the children (Lucia and Oksana's 12-year-old son Sascha, who was in another room) and himself.

A new theory emerges about the murder of Jasmine Fiore.
A new theory suggests that Ryan Jenkins lost it when he came across photos taken four nights before Jasmine Fiore's murder. In the photos, Fiore is seen without her wedding ring, celebrating the release of her ex-boyfriend Michael Cardosi from prison. Could those photos have been the final straw for Jenkins?
