    • About Me

      my boyfriend, family and friends mean the world to me. i'd do anything for them. i can be as solid & strong as a rock for people who need someone to lean on, however it's hard for me to be strong for myself. i don't expect much from people, however i have very high expectations of myself. i guess the saying "you are your worst critic" holds very true for me. i consider myself very friendly and easy to talk to/get along with. i love meeting/talking to new people. i love learning. my ultimate goal in life is to make a difference in the lives of those who i hold near and dear to my heart and to find true happiness through self fulfillment and gratification.

      Thanks for the hug, I hope your doing well also. Celexa worked great for me, but because I'm pregnant the doctors are switching me to zoloft. I hope zoloft works just as well.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with depression by my doctor about 1 month ago. I've always known I had depression where I was depressed for periods of time & then I'd feel better -but this last time around, I decided to get professional help since I couldn't "snap out of it" like I normally did. I had severe insomnia, anxieties & some of my close friends started to notice that I wasn't my usual self. It was definately one tough episode. I hope to prevent experiencing anymore more major episodes in the future..

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      After taking the medication for about a week, I felt a big difference. The medication also reduced my anxiety/insomnia after a few days.
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      I just started taking support group classes and has had one individual session with my therapist. I definately think talking and getting as much support from people who understanding depression will help me tremendously.
