I have been battleing depression off and on for the last several years. I am just so tired of dealing with it all.I stopped taking the medication and am trying to work through it without all of that.I have spent way too much money on drugs and therapy and haven’t gotten anywhere further then when I first began. In some ways I feel alot better without all the medication,but in other ways,it is so hard to work through on my own. I am leaning alot of God and my faith,but sometimes I could really use other people who understand what it is like to feel this way.

Hi. I am new here and wanted to introduce myself. I am dealing with anxiety,depression,and alot of pain,which I believe has alot to do with it. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia,and hypothroidism.Whenever I am feeling bad and go to see my docotr,he usually blames it on my depression. I know when I am feeling more depressed then at other times,I do feel sicker too. I suffer from really bad pain in my neck and shoulders,and sometimes in my tailbone area of my back too.I also feel sick to my stomach sometimes. I don’t like living this way ,but it helps to know that there are others who also have to deal with things and we can all offer advice,support and encouragement to one another. This is a grat site.

What doyou thinl of the Cymbalta? A lot of people are changing to that medication. I have had depression most of my 46 years. Nothing else helps for me except Prozac & Klonipin. I have tried all types of meds. I really need to be happy for some of my life.

I have experineced depression for many years. I now provide counsel for others with depression. I still have a lot to learn.

I am a 38-year-old single mother who had been living with Lupus since agae 19.

I’ve been very sick and in severe pancreatic pain for over 19 months. I’ve had over 13 long admissions and 13 surgeries, but what seemed to have started as a gallbladder/Sphincter of Oddi problem, had led to ongoing pancreatitis. I’m on home 24-hour TPN, but still have a lot of pain and am slowly losing hope that I’ll one day get my life back (PS-- No history of alcohol, smoking, or drugs-- Just had been a healthy and active athlete). Are there others out there with what seems to be intractable pancreatitis? Any suggestions? Thanks!

The weight on my chest is constant, and the weird thing is I am not quite sure why it exsists. I am so tired of not sleeping. I just want to know someone who can relate

I’ve been living with this for a while now and it’s simply painful and it’s good to connect with others who can relate and truly understand.
