Hi Julie - I am in California, and have dealt with this gnarly condition for over 20 years (I am 40 now). I have been to more doctors for VVS than I like to think about, and have tried everything EXCEPT surgery, laser or shots (psycho doctors!!!). It drove me to alcoholism and marijuana. Got suicidal, was sent to a psych ward for two weeks, and then embarked on a long road to recovery. I have been clean and sober for over 6 yrs. now, and am slowly accepting my vagina as she is -- a prickly rose that can be admired but not touched! I went to your VVD website - great job! Know of any support groups out here in the Los Angeles area? I have started a Vulvavestibulities Support group here on DS - come join me! :)

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was diagnosed with clinical depression in 1988 when I was a junior in high school! I started taking antidepressants at that time, and have been in and out of therapy (and off & on many prescribed drugs) ever since! I have chronic depression and it comes and goes, based on varying factors. However, I continue my therapy (have a wonderful therapist!!!) when I need it, and work very hard to stay on top of my depression!
