    • About Me

      I'm 19, tired, & trying to get out of the depths of clinical depression. I've moved through it in the past year or two, and I'm a hundred times better than I was, but that doesn't mean I'm doing super well yet. I don't have people I can talk to about this often & I truly think that would help..please tell me what worked for you & lend an ear for support if you're so inclined. Never hesitate to come to me for support too, no matter what. I'm here for anyone that needs it. I love photography and writing poetry. My friends are the most important things in the world to me

    • Thumbs Up

      From H3l3N August 6

      Sorry about the delay in replying. I'm not sure what happened to Teresa she removed me as a friend I think because I hadn't been on here for a while when I had my baby etc, she had been sending me daily poems / prayers bless her but I think she got a little disheartened by it all. Have you heard any more?

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was under major stress in Junior year of high school and I think that triggered my depression but I'm really not sure..It snuck up on me and for the longest time I denied being as depressed as I was. I thought I'd get over it or that it was normal for a teen..Well I stayed in my room for most of the summer and isolated myself a lot. Although I resisted medication, eventually it got bad enough that I tried it. I don't know what to do and need some support from people who know what this is like

      Treatments

      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      I didnt have many of the side effects but although we've increased the amount (Im at 40 mg now and still going) it's helped only a little-things are still not that great
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      It's definitely helping, I'm still not there yet, but hopefully things will keep looking up.
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      Much better than individual for me btw.

      I was first diagnosed with depression 5 years ago, even though i was having some signs of bipolar. Now I've just been diagnosed again with bipolar. I hate it. Sometimes I hate myself. You go up and down and up and down and never know who the real you is.

      Type: Trichotillomania

      Eyebrows, eyelashes, and some other hair as well...happens when I have too much stress, especially when that stress deals with people, and it's still been going on, but I'm trying to get control of it...pulled most of my brows and lashes off once by accident...wasn't pretty and it did horrors for my self-esteem. And now just recently, I pulled all of my eyelashes off once again...
