    • About Me

      I'm a 41 year old father of two who has had relationship issues for as long as I can remember. While I have made progress, I cannot seem to find a balance of close friends and that one special relationship. I hope that by sharing my story, I can find the answers I seek.

      It's so funny that it took something like this for me to finally open up and be vulnerable. Thanks for hanging in there with me - I know it's been a rocky road. Love your avatar, by the way!

      I was diagnosed with clinical depression 8 years ago and have fought hard to overcome it through medication and cognitive therapy. It was almost unavoidable for me - I had a genetic predisposition for it, but didn't find that out until I was diagnosed. Most days are good for me now, but I still have some bad times and they usually relate to relationship issues. But I will never stop fighting!

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      Letting the emotional torrent just come out instead of fighting it can be a release in and of itself. A good cry will also release endorphins into your system that help you feel better after that cry!
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking always helps you get things out. Sometimes we don't even know why we're depressed and just talking to someone who understands that can go a long way. Don't hide the depression - get the help you need and develop a support network.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      I had to shift to a new medication after my beloved Effexor stopped working and this was recommended. Seems to be working and I dont have any side effects.
