I am here to support a dear friend who is battling depression with a bi-polar diagnosis & other health issues. I am mommy to 2 1/2 year old Molly, wife to my dear husband, Danny, and I work full time.
well Iam just country boy I’am 17 I live IA
I love to work & play the guitar. In spear time I like listening to music, Once in a while I like to write peoms, I like to hunt with my dog, I like to work out. I’m always in trouble.
I am going crazy
I’m a 24 year old proud mother of 2 beautiful kids.
I have beed living with this condition since diagnosed in 1982. I’ve been all over the place with systoms, degree and medications. Right now it is rearing it’s ugly head and I have recently lost my counselor and med nurse because my car has been off the road, and I have to depend on others to get me there. I have to find a new counselor and nurse.
I have a daughter (36) who has been deathly ill since May when we almost lost her, she was told she won’t get any better. She can’t seem to go any more than 2 weeks without going to the hospital.
I am feeling very traped without a car, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to get it fixed, since I am on disability for my depression. I am also a recovering alcoholic. On 12/15/06 I had to put my dog down at 3 1/2 unexpectedly due to a birth defect we did not know she had. She gave me hope and so much love. I just can’t seem to get over it. She was the one constant in my life.
Maybe if I could talk to others suffering from the same disease I could get more help and insight.
i delivered a beautiful baby girl (last of my 5 children) in sept. Love her and all of them to pieces…but i’m falling apart!!!
I’m a police officer in my early 40s. I first experienced depression as a young Marine in 1985. I didn’t know what it was. Diagnosed in 1992. Since then it rears its ugly head every 2-3 years it seems. I believe it’s due to issues as a child and a resulting load of baggage I have been toting around all these years. I’m now taking action and seeking to rid myself of such luggage so as to decrease my chances of returning to this Hell on earth.
I have been dealing with sometimes disabling depression, severe anxiety, likely borderline personality disorder - avoidant personality syndrome. I am making some progress, especially through my blogging which acts as my journal, and by interacting with people through support groups, and through sites like this one.

69 years. On anti-depressants since 18. Three hospitalizalizations. 15 ECTS. Have tried virtually all drugs. In theraphy for 17 years till moved last year. Still on anti-depressants. No answers. Still looking for them.
Well,the doctors seem to think that I have multiplescierosis,but then they say I’m depressed,
my stepdaughter has bi-polar and does not know it. Takes some meds for mood that is all the doc has told her. While reading these diagnois I think my husband has it also.
I have been on Lexapro for several years and recently changed to Cymbalta. I have bee treated for mild depression for 20 years, but still have many ups and downs.
I am Bipolar, and although they say it is mild, and I can believe that, at times it is very difficult to live with, esp. when I start going into an episode. I want to connect with other people that are bipolar, and esp. when I’m beginning to go into a crisis stage, or episode. I need someone to talk right then that really understands. Sometimes I’m fine, and can be encouraging to others, but when I’m on the down side, I’m no fun to be around. Even lately, my manics are no fun. I have a chronic kidney failure condition, with one kidney as well, so the doctor had to reduce my meds for the bipolar. So now I’m taking only 150 mg. of Welbutrin, as compared to 300 and only 600 mg. of the Neurontin, as compared to 1800 mgs., so the manics are breaking through. I’m a rapid cycler any way, so any reduction in my mood stabilizer can really affect me. So hopefully, I’ll find people in here just like me
