Close Depression
I hid my depression for 7 years. I've been trying 8 different types of meds, a few therapists, been off work since April 2008 and I have no idea if I'm on the right track. I have no energy so I decided to try chugging a red bull at 7am and seeing how that goes for awhile.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- When I AM able to get up and move it definitely helps my mood for the day. Starting is always the hardest part.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Remeron Not Working
- Gained 40 pounds, up 4 sizes in jeans, and 3 cup sizes. Didn't feel any better.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
- Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
Close Loneliness
After finishing college, battling depression, avoiding social stigma, taking time off work and then quitting my job, I don't get to see very many people. My "friends" are in different cities. I'm so very alone...
Treatments
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- and other media. Ive seen some movies so many times that I feel in them almost. Same with the TV its like the characters are my friends...
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- My two kitties keep me company.
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- I use a biggest loser dvd. The personality is fun too.
- Talking Too Soon to Tell
- I posted about my situation battling depression in a local online classified strictly platonic section. Ive received a few emails but in conjunction with this depression and anxiety Ive had a hard time replying to them.
- Walking Somewhat Helpful
- I do some window shopping. Its sometimes refreshing to go out and be near other people even if they are strangers. I like the pet store quite a bit.
- Support Groups Working / Worked

Open Depression - Teen
Started getting depressed the summer after 9th grade. My friends didn't get it, things got messy, so I ended up hiding it. No one seemed to listen anyway.
Treatments
Open Back Pain
Scoliosis has caused very major back pain for me since adolescence. "Subluxation" screening was all out of whack pretty recently. Chiropractic helped during high school, but I can't afford it now. Sometimes stretching and yoga helps, but every once in awhile, the pain is so bad I'm completely immobilized by it.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Just started April 09. I noticed some relief after only the first week, but it is hard for me to find the energy to do my exercises.
Open Depression Supporters
I want to be a part of this group because I would like to better relate to the feelings my loved ones are experiencing in being there for me. Maybe I can be of help to others, too, to give a few words from the inside.
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- I try my hardest to keep communication open.
