Recently I discovered he has a home but …

About Me
My passion is animals. In fact I consider it my mission in life to help them as much as possible. My hobbies are reading and doing crosswords puzzles. Unfortunatley, I suffer from migraines and depression which can really get in the way of trying to have a life. So I'm hoping I can find support in your group.

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI'm 47 years old and have suffered from depression most of my life. I was hospitalized twice when I was 20. I slowly built up a life that I could be proud of but in the last 10 years feel like it's all slipping away. I'm been having an especially hard time since the sudden death of my mom a year ago.
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- I believe it helped but I also gained 20 lbs. which didn't help with my depression so I eventually stopped.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- As with all the others worked for a while then stopped.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- Ditto.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Ditto
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- I try but my thoughts can't slow down long enough to get quiet. I'm also thinking/worrying about something else.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- I was incredibly hungry on this med. I couldn't stop eating.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- I try but when you're at the bottom of the abyss it's really hard to smile and get happy.
- Prozac Not Working
- I got severe headaches.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- This helps as long as you get the right person. I was recently ousted from therapy because "I was too difficult". (This was right after the sudden death of my mom). Fortunately, I reconnected with a former therapist but as everybody knows therapy can get expensive.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- Family has never gotten it. And I don't really have any friends.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Don't remember.
- Writing Working / Worked
- This helps if I can find the energy to actually sit down and write.
- Zoloft Not Working
- I tried this years ago. It helped but then I developed very shaky hands and nightmares and so stopped. Recently tried it again but I only got worse. Finally stopped.
- Biaxin Too Soon to Tell
- Just started today. Even though its an antiseizure med the doctor says theres been success in helping people with depression.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- The lamictal seemed to be working so the dr. increased dose to 200 mg a day. Ten days later-WHAM! Major rash, although not that fatal rash they always warn you about. Nevertheless I'm now off the lamictal, waiting for the rash to heal so I can start over with something new. I am very, very frustrated!
Close Motherless Children
I lost my mom 3 days before Christmas 2006. It was totally unexpected. I thought she'd live to be 100 (she was only 76). I know this sounds stupid but I didn't think it'd be this hard to deal with. I still cry at the most inappropriate times thinking of her. I miss calling her up on the phone. Everyone else seems to be handling this better than I am. Maybe because I'm single and unattached. There's nobody to reach out to at 2 am.
