Depression Member Introductions

I’m just a girl looking out for who she loves and remembering who she has lost. Nothing fancy about me…

Creative, smart, cute, funny, sad, lonely,sassy, strong, fearful, brave, I know I know…but I certainly feel like two opposite ends of the same candle!
And speaking of the wind, when is mine going to blow!?

I recently married a man who has depression. He can’t take many medications for it because they make him sick. So he has just about given up trying new ones. Along with his depression comes paranoia and anger. I thought I knew what I was coming into when I married him but I didn’t really know.
I really need to find a support group for me to talk over his behaviors to see if they are from depression or if it is just because he is a man.
I have my own problems. I have epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy and Gerd. I belong to a forum for Peripheral neuropathy that is great, NPNC. I had my first seizure at 16 and it has been controlled for years, until 98 when I began to have petit mals. In 02 I got them under control. Because of years of taking Dilantin I develped peripheral neuropathy.

I would like to meet some people who suffer from Crohns or UC in the long island area… message me on aim if you wanna tlak ( itslaurenashley)

I’m 23 years old and a newly wed. I have suffered from anxiety since I was in elementry school. When I was around 16-years-old depression also hit me full force.

Just a semi-average woman surviving day to day life. Survivor. City girl at heart longing to be back in a big city. Dog lover. Expecting my first baby in August. Hoping to learn how to love myself better than I have been the past 24 years.

I’m 21 years old.
Living in Tucson, Arizona.
Doctors think I may be bipolar, I haven’t been asessed fully for that yet though. I’ve got depression with anxiety (social, generalized and seperation). Currently having a rough time finding a psychiatrist. I’m currently taking Seroquel (which isnt’ working). In the past I’ve been on Lexapro, Prozac, Celexa, Paxil, Prozac in combination with Zyprexa. I’ve never had anything good come of any of these medications. I just want to feel normal.

more to come

I turned 40 this past year. I have a loving husband and combined total of four kids between us. We live in Michigan surrounded by lots of animals and a lot of love. I suffer from many conditions but the worst hit me (even though I was born with it) a few years back so I had to stop working. I suffer from a condtion called Ehlers Danlos Syndrom or EDS. EDS is a connective tissue disease which makes all of my joints in my body weak. I can roll over during the night and easily dislocate my shoulders or wrists. EDS is a collegen disorder. Collegen is in 90% of our body so therefore my entire body is weak along with internal tissues, eyes, ears, stomach, bowel and so on. EDS is also considered a arthritic condition which is very painful. Pain consumes my life. I am tired, weak, scared and trying to figure out what to do with myself now that I can not work. I do have a loving family that supports me but it is really hard to get people to understand what I go through on a daily basis. I belong to many support groups so having that support is appreciated. I also try to give that same support to others that are suffing from some of the same problems that I suffer with. Together we WILL get through this. We just need eachother and love!

I have lost al trust in everyone and i just want to be happy again.

Happily married, grown children, no grands.  Just here for support with those with my disabilities.  I'm open to new friendships and chat. :)

Does anyone really know what to write in these things?!

unsure of life and my place in it.

My Father had a massive stroke the day before my 9th Birthday…I’m now 25 years old. Graduated from a private college in Minnesota with a Bachelor’s in Staff Ministry (Youth and Family Ministries, Christian Counseling, etc). Now, currently working as a salesperson and waiting for a call into the church. Currently thinking about moving back to my home town in Central Wisconsin to be closer to family and friends, but no jobs as of yet.

Clinical depression sucks. People say they understand, but they don’t. I could really use friends that do.
