I have suffered from depression for many years, ever since i was a teen ager now i am 35
Hi I have geno type 5a and have lived with it for around twenty years or so with a diagnoses for about four I haven’t tried treatment and was looking to make friends
My name is Tonya and I’ve suffered from depression most of my life.
I think I might have Lyme disease.
I am a very lonely and depressed pregnant mother of 3.
Hello, I would like to connect with other people that have this condition. I hope that I can help someone as well as myself. I look forward to meeting people just like me.
In January my life went into a downward spiral. I started battling with depression, thoughts of suicide and didnt see any point in living life. I had to come home from college because I couldnt get it under controle on my own. I come from a family that doesnt believe in depression so things were tought convincing them something was wrong. Finally my headache doctor in Chicago heard my cry and put me on the depresion medicine Effexor and even though it helped i was still fighting a loosing battle, and so after another month she also put me on Lexapro. I am now a normal person with a normal life. I am finally enjoying life and getting to do things that I had never though possible. I am studying nursing which had we not gotten my depression under controle I wouldnt be able to do. Life is great and i cant believe how much i have missed, i lost a lot of friends but to loose a few friends means so little because i got my life back and that means the world to me.
I am here because I suffer from cronic depression. I have been suffering from this dease since 1983 when i became suddenly ill with much physical pain that led me down the road of miss dianoises, wrongful surgery and left me with cronic pain after the true problem erupted 14 years later.
At which time i almost lost my life. I had a twisted intestine
that gagrene finally found me in an emergency room having emergency surgergury.
The two surgeons who saved my life asked me how i had been able to function over the past 14 years as i was cronically toxic and "there was no medical explanation that they could find that I was able to hold down a job or do anything for that matter. I told them that I played the medical gmae and took the drugs they gave me for all kind of reasons none related to what was really the problem.
I under went a castration in 85 because a doctor said i had endometreouses. One year after the surgery i was reading the pathology report from the surgery and found that there was no signs of endometrioses and that the ovaries and uterous were normal and healthy. That was the day when i think i really lost it. I was 35 only one child and now no hopes of ever having any more children and still very ill.
Life has never been the same since. I have no family except my son and my grandson who I raised while caring for my motherafter a terrible accident that left her an invalid. I promised her that as long as I was alive she would never see the inside of a nursing home. i lost my carrer, my retirement, she lasted seven years. After her death my son detached from me and as soon as my grandson was old enough to not need his nana my son took him away and for the past three years we have had no contact.
I am miserable. I still have cronic pain I tsle norco three times aday. clonopam, wellabutran, which I just started recently. I can’t sleep at night and i have no one to talk to about my fears. Now my thyroid is not putting out enough
harmones that I have added synthyroid to estrogen replacement therapy. i have kaiser insurance that i pay an arm and aleg for and they have no group therapy programs, as a matter of fact they offer very little to nothing for people like me.
I feel so alone and hopeless. sometimes i ask myself why i keep going on because I am getting really tired of fighting this all alone and for what. My life is a mess.
that’a pretty much my story there is more but it’s all pretty much related to the above.
Hi. My name is Alex [alias Gypsy].
Recently my grandson Blake was diagnosed with Aarskog Syndrome. Blake is 10. Such a relief to finally have a diagnosis as for years my daughter Sam and myself have battled with all kinds of senarios in regards to Blakes learning and development.
We are now very lost!
As Blakes grandma I am his main carer and also home schooling teacher.
To date we have received information on what the symptoms of this syndrome are yet nothing on the effects of this syndrome.
Hence we are seeking as much knowledge as possible and would love to connect with other mums, dad,s, grandparents, siblings and anyone else that may be able to shed some light.
Many years of dealing with non-situationally related depression.
I have been diagnosed with mood disorder/substance abuse…
I am also a codependant and would like to be more self-satisfied.
I am 24, recent graduate, and having problems with mapping out my future/career as everything seems scary and hopeless. I am also living with my mom and struggling to break ties with an old boyfriend, who is not good for me (hinders me) of on/off 9 years.
I was born with SB 34 years ago. I have been fairly healthy. I want to find others like me to make some friends and to share with them the details about a great work at home opportunity that has changed my life for the better. I want to learn how other adults like me cope with financial worries and worries about the future.
My son has Prader willi Syndrome. He is short in stature and overweight due to his condition. I was hoping to find resources in clothing for him.
I have anxiety and depression, hoping to get some insight on how to cope from day to day without loosing it, currently on medication (2yrs); it is helping but I don’t think it helps enough. Would love to stop taking it, tried that it didn’t work.
