Depression Member Introductions

I was first diagnosed with depression, and then 14 years later I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I could use some support from other people who are employed and are able to cope with bipolar disorder and have it not affect their job performance.

having a bad stretch of VERY bad luck ,having bad thoughts of giving up all hope ,

I love my husband, my kids, my Savior, my gifts, and my life.

My husband has been going thru deoression for about a month now.
It is in his family- Both his grandparents had it, his mom and brother both do.
He is on medicine from a doctor and sees a therpist once a week.
Also our oldest daughter was tested at school and she also has depression. She is also seeing a therpist.
I feel so overwhelm right now and fighting a battle i don’t know anything about.

People think I’m soooo together. If they could only see the inside.

I like to be active, but since my joints have been giving me such a hard time, I find it hard to even walk very much anymore. I lived at a ski resort for 3 years. I snowboarded in the winter and organized kids camps in the summer among other things. I just got my real estate license and hope that it goes well for me.

My name is LaTricia, I was diagnosed two years ago with bipolar II. I was taking my medication as was told an outlined to me. But when i lost my medicaid i also lost my doctor an now i have been fighting an episode for more than three months now. No one understands me an i’m at the point to trying to end it all over again. I dont have the money for my meds an cant afford to see the doctor ither. Is there any help? Please help me before this disorder wins.
