About Me
i have been severely depressed for a pretty long time and see no way out. Medicine and shrinks haven't been much help - my problems lie with things that I cannot fix and that I cannot accept. They eat at my constantly, hence a secondary diagnosis of OCD .. awesome!! I drag myself through most of my life attempting to appear as though I am living normally, while inside I am a wreck. I desperately yearn for happiness, but feel as though it is unattainable. If you were to ask my friends about me they would probably tell you that I am not as cool as I used to be but still alright I suppose (I have really become a shadow of my former self). If you asked my coworkers and family they would tell you I am a nice guy, but seem distant or maybe a little strange. The best way to put it would be: I am basically trying to keep my head above water here, but my legs are getting real fucking tired. At times I can be real negative about things in my own life, but consider myself someone that is good to talk to, empathetic, and understanding. At the same time I have a bit of a 'tough guy' attitude (probably a result of the emotional distress I am in essentially constantly coupled with who I used to be before all of this started).

You might want to ask your doctor about pristiq and cymbalta. Those work very well for depression. But I know how you feel. I use to be the same as you. I am currently taking cymbalta but I heard that pristiq, which is new, is better. God Bless you and TC

Start a goal to reward yourself everyday you go without drugs, but the withdrawal will be hard to deal with.

Got some problems I cannot stop thinking about ... things that eat at me all the time.
Open Prescription Drug Abuse
I enjoy using painkillers at times (percocet, vicodin, etc) to numb myself to the emotional pain. The high sometimes helps me to feel a bit better. I am careful though - addiction to pain killers is no joke - Ive seen people really go downhill with too much use.
