need to know how to help with depression. Want to move.
32YO, WF, Single mother of 3, coping with a seperation/divorce and I still love my husband.
I am a 50 yr old housewife. I am suffering with Bipolar. I would like support.
I’m 41 a Mom of 3 great Boys, and Married to a very understanding Man for 21 yrs.
I’ve been diagnosed Bi Polar, for I don’t know how many years. I went without treatment for years.
I have major Depresion, FM and CFIDS. I am very isolated and would like to connect with others who struggle with these chronic problems and hopefully share and learn ways to cope and live better.
my name is faith and im living with depression,anxiety, and panic attacks! I have delt with this since my 8th grade year and im now almost 20 years old. I dont do much, like a normal 20 year old would do, I sleep way too much and i have some mental issues, Im on meds and i have been seeing a sychyatrist for years now, Im tired mentally and phsically and need help, its like a sickness that never goes away! I sleep all the time to get rid of the thoughts im constantly thinking, I think about everything bad thats in my life and there is never peace! They tried to diagnose me as bipolar but i know im not. When i was in 11th grade, i dropped out of school because of my anxiety and panic attacks, that affected me really bad. Ill never get over the fact that i will never get my diploma! People taunted me in school, wich made my anxiety horrible and now its worse then ever! there is so much more , just ask me…
I have been looking for a treatment for my depression for about 20 years. Have been on various medications. Currently taking Cymbalta.
hi i have suffered from ptsd and depression since childhood.i have 4 children and 5 grandchildren;do not get to see them often…my present husband is kind and loving.
i have everything,as far as things go,that i want…none of that helps with depression as many of us know.
i need somewhere where i can share and where there are people who understand;that is why i registered here.
GOG BLESS ALL.
Depression really takes its toll on a person. I have been living with this condition for 20 years, been on so many anti-depressant meds there are to many to list and still on them at this time. I have good days and bad. Today is a bad day.
I am 43, a widow with 3 sons ages 8,9,18. I have no energy to do the sort of things that these children really would like me to do. I can only do the things that are necessary and some days that can be tough. Although without my boys I would probably go completely off the deep end.
I have family, but they don’t fully understand and think I am just feeling sorry for myself. They try, I have to give them that. I really need someone that I can communicate with that will understand.
What do you want to know? Just ask…
Suffered depression since my teen years and the last 2 NOTHING works. I also suffer sever chronic pain which to most docs is looked at as a joke. It’s getting worst the last 6 months and my life is getting tougher and tougher to live thru.
I am depressed, I have to get some help
I am a single mother, and I do not know what triggered this depression, but I can not seem to deal with anything or even stay awake long enough to fix it.
Up until 2 years ago I would always end up self medicating myself, nowthat I am not going that road anymore. I can see I go thru a cycle every two and half years.
I built up my life then BAM I get down an ddestroy everything I had work so hard for. Take for example right now I am a full time student finishing up my 2nd year back in College. ( I am a 35 years old returning student)working part time raising my children, everything is going grea. I have a great home, great rent, I do not stress on money ( there is none, so we do not miss it) life is going great. Then a month ago it came back like a big ugly monster and took me down.
which is not nessasary a bad thing.
I am 48 years old. I have had Fibro since a car accident in May 02. I have three grown kids which have all moved out in the last 3 years. They are all doing fine. It is hard for them to see me down, espically because I was such a strong person. I was typical Super Mom! But now I do what I can. They keep in touch often. We get toghter at least once a month and eat out or do pot luck. I have been married for 28 years. I have 5 cats and one dog living with us. I love my pets so much!
I was diagnosed with bipolar in January of 2006
I’m just here.
I also have anxiety attacks.
i am 34 years old and suffer with depression, i have suffered on and off for over ten years and i am finding it hard to talk to people about it,
I also think i am showing the first symptoms of ms, i am extremely worried and dont know how to approach my gp about this. It would be good to talk to people who also suffer with depression.
I hate the norm
I was formally diagnosed with Diabetes II in 1992 @ 36 years old. It is believed that (because of the extent of the Diabetic Painful Peripheral Neuropathy) I was probably dealing with Diabetes II for possibly 7 to 10 years prior to the diagnosis.
