    • About Me

      I've had Depression for most of my life that I can recall. All therapies (10-12 therapists over 20+ yrs) provided little relief. I am a loyal, hard worker who is self compromising and always willing to help others,

    • Prayer

      From ak17 September 1, 2008

      May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything in the name of Jesus. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalm 18:28 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I am 41 and have spent the past 35 of those years morbidly depressed. I have memories of forced oral sex as a child with a neighbor. I grew up in an emotionally abusive environment with an alcoholic father. I have my own substance abuse problems that I can't overcome. I have been treated for depression in every way known medically for over 20 yrs. with little relief.

      Treatments

      Leave Not Working
      just does nothing.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      I listen to music, particularly Steely Dan, so the stories in the lyrics can take me to a different place that is not my world of torture. When the music stops my world of torture is always there waiting.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking has become useless because people don't understand.
    • Open Cocaine Addiction & Recovery

      My name is Mike, I'm 42, and I have a problem with Cocaine. I've been dealing with this problem since I'm 19. Back in 1990-91 I was a full blown physically dependent addict doing 4 and 5 day binges. In 1998 got my third DWI, did some time in jail, and managed to stay sober for 21/2 yrs. I can't seem to stay away from the life. I still do blow once a week but at 42 my body is really starting to feel the effects. I hate the fact that I can't stop this madness. 12 step programs haven't helped.

      Treatments

      Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Considering
      I've already tried but can't get comfortable in the rooms. I want to though.
      Prison Not Working
      Obviously didn't work since I'm still using.
