Depression Member Introductions

I am interested in this group because I am a survivor of physical and emotional abuse. I am 14 yrs old and became a victim in 2000. With the support of my mother and counseling only to become a survivor. I have anger managment problems, Baby Bipolar.
My father suffers PTSD, NArraccissm, Personality Disorder
My mother suffers from RSD, PTSD, Fibromyaligia, Biopolar and Sexul assault victim. My sister has an eating disoder at the age of 11 and two of my brothers are ADHD/PTSD and my other two brothers deal with anger management. So I am looking to talk with others either have these problems or who are caregivers to people with the same.

Will fill this in a little later…

i would like to have friends to talk to that understand how hard this is

I’m a 54 yar old male, just out of a 33 year marriage. Which I thought was great. The divorce was a very bitter slugfest. I sank to the lowest most depressed state a person could ever imagine. Life was pure hell, sadness ingulfed me. My days and nights were hopeless. I was alone, scared, no family for backup and what few friends I had deserted me. I tried the antidepressants, even thought I’d found God for a while. It was tough. What I suppose I’m trying to say and tell you all is that it does get better. It’s hard, but it does get all right. Life gets OK after a while. You’re stronger than you think, you can get thru it. Hey, I’m about as weak a person as there is, but I did it. It’s still rough from time to time and it can still hurt, but I’m at a point now that a year ago I had no idea I’d ever be at. A year ago I wouldn’t have dreamt it possible. So, keep hanging in there and be strong. You can get whole again. You can be happy again, you can love again. You will be alright. Write to me if you want to talk and I’ll be happy to respond.

I have had DEPRESSION as a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it gets worse and very hard to manage, and I am on an anti-depressant. I know medication can’t do everything so I guess I need to talk to other people who can relate to how I am feeling.

I would like to be able to learn and chat with others about depression as it has taken over my life and wold like to feel whole again
