About Me
Well, there are many interesting things about me (at least I think so!) but right now I am going through a depressive episode and I just don't have it in me to write positive things about myself. Will update this at a later time because I WILL get better.

Interests
I have many interests but they have all gone down the tubes thanks to my depression. When I am feeling like myself, I like to get the adrenaline rushing - skydiving, boogyboarding, rollerblading down dangerous hills...LOL! Went skydiving for the second time in April and it was a blast!

Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionMy doctor can't figure me out - doesn't know if I suffer from sever atypical depression or bipolar II. Have suffered bouts of severe blues since I was a child, and suffered through my first major depressive episode about 5 years ago. Have tried all kinds of meds and my mood continues to be all over the map. Lost my job last year due to the depression. Started working again 2 months after losing my job and had to quit because I could not function. Want to use this time off to get better.

Close Prescription Drug Abuse
I suffer from severe depression and my psychiatrist prescribes Ritalin to me to get me out of bed in the morning. It was not long before I discovered the very pleasant feeling I got from taking a higher dose of Ritalin than prescribed. I now go through a month's prescription in a week and I know I need help. With each Ritalin prescription, I promise myself I will take it as prescribed, and each and every time I break that promise.
Open Bipolar Disorder
