      From Kalima123 November 9

      Hey Jul,
      Actually it's all the drama that's running around the boards on DS, believe it or not. There's just so much spitefulness and fighting going on, it's not even worth checking in. And I started going into a depression this morning and it's just making it worse. So I'm going to go off for awhile but would love to stay in touch with you. Feel free to email me at: lya348@gmail.com and let me know how you're doing. You've been terrific to talk to and I really appreciate your support. Take care and all my best, Kal

      From asadheart November 1

      Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I've been diagnosed with major depression recently. Just started counseling and they want to do more history on me because they are suspecting I may be bipolar. Going through a lot of hell/stress in my life and seems like I always have. Currently unemployed - seems impossible to work or stay at a job for more than a year. Recently divorced and raising my youngest son on my own.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Too Soon to Tell
      Took Effexor and prozac for many years and they didnt help. Recently started taking Cymbalta for depression but they may need to add a mood stabilizer if they diagnose me as bipolar.
    • Close Depression

      I was diagnosed with depression 17 years ago. Seems like it gets worse as the years go by. I feel totaly dysfunctional in this world I live in.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Helpful for a few years then it seems to quit working. Depression got worse.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Worked somewhat, but still had bad episodes of depression.
      Cymbalta Too Soon to Tell
      Just began using this one.
    • Open Anxiety

      I have depression and anxiety. Doc thinks I may be misdiagnosed and it may actually be bipolar.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      This works by helping to stay calm. Helps to sleep through the night.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Was given this as a temporary fix. it worked but doc didn't want me to continue using it for long.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      divorced 2 times. Recent divorce in Jan. '09. Looking for support of others experincing divorce.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      We tried couples counseling a few times. Only helped temporarily.
    • Open Child Support & Custody

      divorced with full custody of my son. Have not received any child support since we separated 3 years ago. couln't afford legal representation during divorce so child support was not ordered. Going through CSE to get the support.
