About Me
I am 52 but age isn't a big deal to me, yet. I'm happily married to a great guy and have two kids in their 20's. I deal with depression and anxiety. I'm lonely, having moved a couple of years ago, and an introvert, so friends are few. My hobbies include writing, gardening, golf, reading, and travel. I'm not working currently.

Support Groups
Close Depression
: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've dealt with depression for 20+ years, and when the medication is right, I do well. Recently, though, we tweaked something and it didn't work so the depression hit hard. I grew up in a home with domestic violence and neglect. The depression really didn't hit until I had children of my own and began to have flashbacks. I've been on many medications over the years, but once I get back on track this time, my current cocktail seems to work very well.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Ive been blessed with three different counselors over the years who were just what I needed at the time.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Journaling is a huge help for me. I share my writing with my counselor if it is relevant. She encourages me to keep it up.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- My husband is great but doesnt totally understand being depressed.I feel like I alienate my friends if I tell them too much about how Im feeling . . . at least they give me that impression.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Been on it for years . . . along with four other meds.
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- This drug is making the difference between me and any obsessive thoughts of suicide. Incredible what a little pill can do!
Close Anxiety
First being diagnosed with chronic depression, these past few years of severe stress have brought on the anxiety big time.
Treatments

Open ADHD / ADD
I want to understand my 20-something daughter who is diag. with ADD.
Treatments

- No side effects. She just quit taking it. She did say it helped her sit through school.

- Took it while still in school. It did help concentration.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- Ended up going to Lexapro because of anxiety.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
My daughter deals with OCD and it is finally causing real heartache for her. She is 24 and lives at home. She has had a potential boyfriend but now that they are more serious, she finds she can't deal with the physical touch--hugging, holding hands, etc. She is germaphobic and very sensitive to clothing, smells, etc. I think she is willing to see a therapist again. I am looking for support and information.
Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Seems to help her with anxiety.
