Welcome, Justsmurfy. This is a wonderful place to come for support, learning about our illness (condition - - what is it really??) and just venting every once in a while. I hope you'll utilize the lessons in the program. It really works.
Welcome to our support community and do know that there are many people that do know where you are coming from and they can share in your journey with you. The members have lots of knowledge and experience to share and they are ready to listen.
Take the time to look through the program and bring a copy of the depression test to your doctor. This can help you better assess the situation for you both.
Thanks for sharing with us and we look forward to hearing from you.
Hi..just found this place today. I am 25 and have struggled with depression and anxiety since my early teens. I have also battled self injury (recovered!) and bulimia(recovered!). I have been through 8 years of therapy...7 years with one therapist and 1 year with another.
I started meds at age 18 and have been on many different meds. Am now on Seroquel, BuSpar and Prozac. Am diagnosed as severe treatment resistant depression, GAD and panic disorder. Finally have a great doctor and seem to have found a good combo of meds that is allowing me to live more normally than I have in years.
I don't know what else to say. Just looking for support and others who understand
