I’ve been going to counseling for my depression and while it has been of a great help I also want to seek outside resources as my insurance won’t cover the therapy for much longer even after it has been extended.
I have two daughters who suffer from this and probaly two sons if they would admit it. I would like to know how I can help them more.

Well, I am a lifelong depression sufferer, and I have been off my medication for several years. I am functional, and hold down a good job, but have extreme difficulty with relationships at work. I feel “no one likes me” once they get to know me…when i actually come across as likable and fun, in reality i live alone and wonder why. I dont feel i am good enough for people to like me…i am tired of living like this, and am wondering if there are others like me. I need a little support to get back on track, and for some reason I dont feel I “need” medication or counselling (though i obviously do lol). I am 37 with no children, and no family contact. so what is my problem? I love solving other peoples problems, but never tell anyone how i feel, when i do they think i am “crazy”. what to do next???
im a first aider in the redcross and i want to know more about many things. i like to get some info from any any one can give me info so thnx alot
I’m looking for other people who may have the depression/thyroid problem, and may be treated with SSRIs, or bi-polar meds. I am 66 WF, have had depression problems since early 80s. After years on Imipramine, then Paxil, somehow in my 60s I developed more depression problems that don’t seem to be responding to any SSRIs. This happened AFTER I was diagnosed as hypothyroid. Well, long story short, now that my TSH is regulated, I’m having a terrible time with the drugs my Dr. (Psychiatrist) is prescribing. Dr. keeps putting me on bi-polar meds (Cymbalta, Seroquel and others I can’t even remember). I think I should just be on an SSRI without the bi-polar “mood stabilizers”. I’m on a roller coaster bender, having felt suicidal 2 weeks ago with one SSRI, and now feeling like a jittery, twitchy unhealthy person because of Seroquel, which gave me the above symptoms plus some ungodly horrific nightmares. I seem to know after a week or less which drugs are going to “sit right” with me, but have been unable to tolerate Seroquel. I am ready to insist to him that we NOT use any more bi-polar meds, even if it takes me longer to get to a good baseline. I’m so wound up today, I doubt any antidepressants will be needed for another 3-4 days, maybe a week! Anyone else out there with similar problems?

I am 22 years old and was born with microphthalmia and several other problems. We still do not know what caused my condition but we think I have Goldenhar Syndrome. I have a daughter who is “normal” in appearence but I believe she has some of the same traits as GS. I am here to help the parents who don’t know how to deal with their precious child. I am also here to answer any questions and maybe be able to find out more about myself.
My girlfriend suffers from severe depression. She seemed to snap last week and was very irrational and moved out. She is now threatening suicide over material things she left behind. She told me she consulted her Dr. and he said she should stay where she is as long as it is not stressful and never return. Her 22 y/o daughter is living with me and has a drinking problem. She told her I was stressing her out and she may leave, she told me her daughter was stressing her out and we may have to throw her out. I consulted her Dr. today and found out she never spoke with him at all. What is the best way to help her? She has next to little cash on her and is due up for her medicines which she has to pay cash for. She does not work and has no insurance. Please help! Thank you and God bless all of you. Dawn
