About Me
I'm a 46 year old female. I live in Michigan. No children. I'm off work right now on medical leave. It REALLY bites. I hate not working. I don't know how people do it. I'm working on getting my health under control, so I can return to work as soon as possible. My brother has been great about helping me out, he goes to dr. appts. with me and such. Cooks for me when I can't. So I have been able to find some silver linings in the clouds.

Close Depression
I have dealt with depression since I was a kid. Due to situation with my family. My parents were alcoholics. My mom, in particular, was very abusive. I remember thinking at one point, I'd be surprised if I didn't die from saddness.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- I'm not sure if this was working or not, was on this for awhile after a car accident, my primary care dr changed it once I was discharged back to his care.

- It is somewhat helpful in dealing with the depression and anxiety.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- I've just started counseling with a therapist. I'll know soon enough.

- Yes, this is quite helpful to me. I enjoy writing anyway, and this is especially theraputic.
Open Loneliness
I have felt isolated from the rest of the world my entire life. Growing up I had very few friends. Both parents were alcoholics, my mother was a mean drunk. My father had blinders on. My brother got away with anything. In my family, male children were highly esteemed. Although now as adults, my brother and I get along fairly well. I am also a surivor of sexual abuse by an uncle. I have trust issues. I've been working on being more open to people, so that I don't feel so isolated.

Open Incest Survivors
To deal with the aftermath of incest that happened to me. I was molested by my uncle when I was a kid, I had no one to help me.
Open Arthritis

- Was working fine, but during a hospital stay, a dr changed it.
