    • About Me

      I change my avatar fairly often. --------- I do not want "out of the blue" friend requests, OR any chain messages!! ------------ I am still mourning the loss of my parents. My youngest is bipolar, and 13 years old, he's my biggest challenge. I struggle mightily against depression...it pisses me off that I have to fight this battle, on top of everyday life....but I am dealing, for the most part.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Shame, loss and responsibility get me down. I still am not doing so hot, since becoming completely parentless. Diagnosed with major depression in 06, After My Mother passed...had it for several years before that but did not recognise it. It took crisis and inpatient treatment to get the help I needed. I feel very alone and it's scary not having parents anymore, even at my age.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      This practice has done wonders for me, the longer I do it, the better it works. it annoyed me at first.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I'm not sure that I am a good candidate for therapy...but I'm considering it.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Thank goodness for this medication. It really helped immensely when I was so very low.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I enjoy writing,... but can only occasionally dig very deep that way, as it is almost certain to make me dissolve into tears. Writing it makes it so real. ~sigh~
    • Close Anxiety

      I have only been having anxiety for the last year or so....my Dx is depression......never dealt with anxiety before and have decided that it SUCKS A LOT.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      I can use breathing to calm myself....usually.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I have been trying to make sure I do this daily, although it's harder than it sounds.
