    • About Me

      I am a 51 year old Mother and Wife who has tried to have a happy life with my family. I have two Daughters and a Granddaughter. they are all special to me. I have a Husband who loves me too. But it seems my first child was easy to raise. But my Youngest who will be eighteen the 16th of this month has always had depression problems and i have just started taking her to a therapist. She has been a wonder and a challenge.

      I have a 16 year old daughter who was diagnosed with depression when she was 15...for years I thought she was rebellioning..it wasn't until I found out she was cutting herself last May that I realized that something was very wrong...took her to the emergency and she has been seeing a Therapist and now she is on mood stabalizers...it hasn't helped much...she is always mad and the meds are affecting her stomach...the doctors say she will get used to the meds but I wonder how long...It's been since Jan. 17 that she has been on medication...I feel for you...it's not easy...Me, I'm a single mom and have no support from family as they think that she is just milking the situation...I hope your daughter is doing well....
