Depression Member Introductions

I saw this website advertised on another online community, and I wanted to see what it was all about. I really enjoy connecting with people who are struggling or have struggled with the same things I have. I hope that I can be a helpful part of this group.

I am a college student who is suffering from depression. For the past six months, I have felt isolated from the rest of the world. I would love to connect with others who are feeling the same way as I, and I would love to reclaim hope and happiness in my life.

I would like to join your community to talk to others with my conditions and be supportive because i know some of what they are going through and it gets lonely.

Trying to find me, sure not happy with the person I have become

In the last year I have been diagnosed with depression and bi-polar, These disorders have led me to a suicide attempt exactly 1 year ago, sometimes I feel like I am in this boat alone

I have been living with severe depression and anxiety since my early teens and am still trying to fight it.

Im 36 female. Married for less than 2yrs, Deployed to Iraq from 2004-2005, was injured over seas but nothing major, thank God.
Ive had many issues in my life from rape, molestation, child abuse, physical abuse, alcoholic mother, but I never dealt with any of them. I always considered myself to be tough, and I just thought if I didnt think of them they wouldnt bother me. But I am beginning to feel like it is all catching up to me and I am not as functional as I was.
Ive just started taking Citalopram and am hoping this will help me feel happy again and give me my sex drive back. Im looking to connect with people who have been through the same or are currently going through the same, basically Im looking for a support system, either me for someone else or someone else for me.

I have been in treatment for this condition officially since 1988.
I have been an active patient in several clinics over the years. Right now I feel like my meds are being held for ransom. I dont qualify for Medicare or SSI, My husbands Insurance doesnt cover Psyciatric conditions, and since he had 3 minor surgeries last spring we have been struggling to make our bills. My Doctor knows all this. Yet on my visits to the clinic I am hounded by the staff for payments. I am making what I can . Right now I owe 322.00 . I called in my refills last week and decided to call ahead to avoid the embarrassment of being refused in person the ability to get my meds. I was transfered to the financial dept whrere I left a voice message. The lady called back and left a message on my phone that I needed to pay at least 1/2 my bill to get my meds…I dont have the money so what can I do? I have Lithium in stock… But I need my Cymbalta and the Clonazepam which was prescribed to help me deal with the stresses of our finances. The last time I met with my Doctor I told him that I was having problems with suicidal thought … He ruhed my out and said to be sure to tell my case worker about it!!! She is not a Doctor. I have also recently gone back to work after 9 years to try to help our finances but it is all very overwhelming…

my name is whatever-
interested in depression
what can do about depression

I'm trying to begin to find myself, because I am tired of running from who I suppose to be. I just don't want to fear my potential any longer, just fed up with the life I own with buying into.

depression is doing me in…

I need to know if there is any “free” help available in my area for my 37 year old daughter (an unmarried mother) who is severely depressed, with no health insurance. I am trying to get by on my Social Security payments. Please advise.

47 year old female who has lost interest in life, have made a mess of my life financially, socially, physically and mentally. I have isolated myself completely other than going to work during the week. I have lost confidence in myself and really don’t want to be here anymore.

i want to know how to love myself. ialso iam a cutter.

I was diagnosed with manic depression, anxiety, obcessive compulsive disorder, and slight paranoia two years ago. I was on three different anti depressants since then and none of them have helped. My family is not very supportive and my friends don’t know how to deal with me.My biggest concern is my relationship with my twin sister.She is one minute older than me and has always taken care of me…now she just doesn’t know what to do with me and we no longer have that bond that we used.I feel my depression is pushing us apart.My family just moved and I go to a new school…where no one understands.This move has made it even harder for me to try and have a normal life.I guess I would just like some support.

I am house bound with agorphopbia and have depression. I have little support outside my psychiatrist, and see no one. It’s lonely.
