I was diagnosed with moderate to severe depression in July 06. I'm pretty sure I've battled with my depression since childhood. I spent 3 weeks in an partial hospitalization program and continue with therapy and medications. I think I am making progress. While a lot of it has to do with bring a gay male in a rural state, I think the cause of the depression goes beyond that. I've always thought my down moods were related to brain chemistry, and I think I'm right.
I am 46 old male who still struggle with this, even though I have lived with my partner for almost 9 years. I never struggled with realizing I was gay. I think figured it out before my teens. However, I am a pretty closed person, so this has been one of the areas of my life I have not been open about. Recent treatment for depression has helped me be less uptight.
I have been with the same partner for 9 years, but I still struggle with society's reaction to gay people. I'm one big bundle of fear.
I grind my teeth. I think it is stress and one dentist said it could be related to taking antidepressants.
