About Me
It's been just over 2yrs since I've been diagnosed with "mental health issues". It's felt like forever. I'm doing good now but need more support that my friends & family can give. I still find some enjoyment being with friends & family, music, playing pool, reading & working. I'm down to earth & a good friend. I do like to help, when & if I can, however I can.

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionWhen it all started for me was 1st year college. My g/f's family hated me, I just moved to a new city, worked 2 new jobs, then problems with my course that prevented me from going that year. I just snapped one day. I couldn't move and when I did it felt like a dream, I couldn't stay awke most of the time. I ate so much food. I was easly fustrated or confused. I felt parinoid. So I whent to the hospital and 2 yrs later I'm here.
Treatments
- Celexa Working / Worked
- I'm taking 30mg and doing great with no side effects. For me it was the miracle drug. (lol).
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- CBT is great. It gave me so much confidence and I improved so much.
- Effexor Not Working
- there was no change at all so the doctor kept adding to it and still nothing, so i requested a change. I was taking 250mg daily.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- it works but you have to work at it. I practised it for a yr before I noticed a change.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I learn new ways to deal and get past things that were hindering me in my head, found out what triggers me, had better support.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- I loved my Seroquel, nothing made me sleep better, but I got used to it and had to keep making it stronger. I now take 200mg.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- people who don't have it tend to down play or just do thing for you, they rarly tend to know how to deal with it.
- Zoloft Not Working
- the Zoloft was much like my Effexor. No change and kept getting higher with every passing month. I no longer take it.
