Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was first diagnosed with depression when I was 14, but never recieved treatment until I was 16. Finding the right treatment plan and meds has been very difficult for me, and I have had some major set backs.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- I just recently started Cymbalta. I haven't experienced any side effects, and so far seems to be helping.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- Lexapro gave me some side effects (shaky hands), but it seemed to help me a little bit.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Counseling has made a huge difference. I highly recommend it to people. But it's important to make sure that you and your therapist are a good fit.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- I have actually used seroquel to help me sleep, and it works well for that. On thing I have noticed is that I am drowsy during the day, and I start to feel nauseos if I stay up too long after taking it.
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- I have been using trazadone for about a month now to help with sleep, and it has been working well.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Writing has been a large part of how I handle my depression. It helps to be able to express my feelings, and sort things out.
Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide
My mom committed suicide on August 9th, 2007. I still struggle today with missing her, and wondering why this happened.
Treatments
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- Being patient has helped me a little bit, but is hard to just be patient.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Talking is somewhat helpful for me. Some days, it's very helpful, but there are other days when I can't find the words I want to say, or the pain that is brought back up is too much.
