Depression Member Introductions

I was diagnosed with Lupus in December 2006. Upon researching this disease I now know I have suffered with it since I was a child. Especially since my late teens. I was hopistalized in Oct last year for 5 days with butterfly rash and extreme pain and fevers of 103. They did not diagnose me until they did skin biopsy’s in Dec. I am on Plaquenil. For the last 2 weeks I have had the worst headache. The Dr. perscribed Lortab because it was so bad. That did not even help yesterday. I want to get to know more people with the same problems and learn more about it.

Just looking to chat with others who have Sleep Apnea and share other issues such as back pain, the need for oxygen 24/7, Weight Watchers for weight loss. Even talk about cats, of which I have two.

i have bipolar disorder and i have really been depressed lately. i have considered calling 1800273talk but that is only for ppl who are close to sucide and i dont feel that close to it…yet but i just want someone to talk to

Depression hurts, I just started Zoloft.

I have chronic pain , anxiety, asthma, migraines and depression and I’m pregnant…

Would like to meet new friends that can relate to the stress of everyday life living with RA. I have had RA for 12 years and have started on orencia, taking my 4th treatment on a few weeks. Haven’t seen any positive results yet but still hoping.

i’m a 53 yr old woman, i can’t remember ever being happy. I guess ths is depression. So many meds , so little results. I get angry, i sleep as much as possible to escape this life. I have no interests or hobbies. I go for days without bathing. Why am I so unhappy and unterested in living?

Just interested in other peoples symptoms and what they
do about them. How do you make yourself get up every morning and start your day? How do you have the engergy to put one foot in front of the other…

Greetings everyone! I’m always looking for new information on Ledderhose.

Many thanks for establishing this web site!

Hello Careplace community!

I organized the Diving a Dream (www.divingadream.org) project from 2003 to present, which made it possible for Matthew Johnston to become the world’s first ventilator dependent diver. The project has offered a ray of hope for the Muscular Dystrophy community, and as we continue to develop the project, it is our truest intention to inspire others as they overcome tremendous odds, and pursue their dreams in all areas of life. Thank you for your interest in our work, and please feel free to say hello!

I have multiple chronic conditions & I am on disability; I worked my entire life & can’t get over feeling guilty for being on SSDI. I have: Addison’s Disease, Myasthenia Gravis, Bipolar Disorder-heavy on the depression,Autoimmmune Hypothyroid, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Migraine Headaches, Pernicious Anemia, Chronic hip-low back-shoulder & neck pain & high blood pressure & cholesterol.
I am 48 & have lived with many of these conditions for years; the Addison’s was diagnosed a year ago though the Dr’s think I had it longer but were missing because of the Myasthenia Gravis. It took me almost dying last summer to get the right diagnosis.It seem like I can’t find enough info
on the Addison’s.I’d like to connect with other people who may have Addison’s or Myasthenia Gravis or Bipolar or Chronic Pain. Also people suffering from multiple conditions,
such as I am.

I JUST WANT TO COMMUNICATE… i AM LONELY

I am the father of a 24 year old son who deopped out of college and is back home. He stays in all the time and won’t answer the phone. He is stuck on his problems and rejects all suggestion.
