Hello - I am a 43 yo man living in nyc. Over the last few years I have had several panic attacks and bouts of serious depression. I have recently restarted medication. It may be that depression and depressive episodes will be with me my whole life - and may have been with me all along. I hope to learn more about depression and connect to others with similar issues.

My name is Shirley Sutter and I’ve been searching for a support group, book club, etc. in my area so I can connect with people in my age group (50-60). I’m fairly new to the Vernon Hills community–I’ve live here 2 years and have not made a single friend. I feel isolated, alone and depressed.

I would like to learn more about the relation of depression and migraine headaches and possible remedies for my mother.

I’ve been dealing with depression for a while now. I need someone to talk to. I just moved away from my family, home, and former life. It’s very rough dealing with all the changes in my life. We have 2 kids living with us (my husband and myself) and 1 still back home.

i have been diagnosed with pancreatitis ,i never feel good

i suffer from chronic anxiety, due to hearing loss

Personal interest and how to best help friends with it.

I’ve been depressed since I was in my teens. My parents were ashamed of any mental illness in our family. They closed their eyes and hoped it would just go away. I started getting serious therapy 2 years ago. I am 48 years old. It took wanting my son not to suffer from my depression to ask for help. I’ve been insecure for years. I’ve had panic attacks, used overspending and uncontrolled night time eating to confront with this condition. I probably am co-dependent also. My husband is very strong willed. I have a good therapist and Psychiatrist. Sometimes I still have episodes of not wanting to live. Thankfully, I wouldn’t want my son to deal with a suicide. I seriously don’t think I’d hurt myself. But I understand the hopeless feeling.

I would like to see if there others out therelike me

I have been suffering from a mild case of depression since I was a child. However, since I started taking Anti-depressants I found myself thinking of suicid. I am now off of all of my Anti-depressants and other medication after I got out of denial and after I almost over dosed, and I am doing better. Yet, I still am having problems with stress and anxiety. And I feel that I have to be on something to feel happy again, and relaxed, and to sleep.

My daughter has been sufferring with chronic pancreatitis that had gone undiagnosed for five tears, and now that we know what it is, there doesn’t seem to be any way to help.

Hello Everyone,

I’m not sure how to start this but I was a very happy, perky person before moving to Virginia Beach. After 1 1/2 months here, I have found myself suffering from depression and anxiety. I really want to connect with people in my area who are suffering from the same problems as I am and possibly taking the next step in joining a free support group to help with my ongoing problems.

I am depressed and want some information and help
