Interests
I'm interested in Music - I listen to hard rock..and a little country but I can't stand anything else...I guess there is something wrong with me..lol. I like to cross stitch...weird for someone my age...I think anyway. And finally I love the internet...If I can't get online at least once a day I get very annoyed and I am not someone people want to be around. I'm sure I'm interested in more but that is all I can think of..

Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've always been depressed. When I was young I didn't know what was wrong but I knew something was. I was suicidal at age 4...I remember thinking about what would happen if I just jumped out of a second story window. I only recently got help and it's been hard working on getting better. I'm currently taking Pristiq.
Treatments
