Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hi. My name is Wes and I have been on the Hep C board for several years and I wanted to join here to help deal with my depression which I've had since the kids in school started calling me skinny and thought I was their punching bag. Since then I survived alchohol and drugs and various traumas and now I can't feel anything but bad feelings. I am 63 years old. I am on Cymbalta and Wellbutrin and Lyrica for pain. I have some support but only one friend that battles depression also. I hope to have more support here as I feel it will help me cope.
Big hugs
Gaye
From here on out .. you get to be VERY good to yourself. There is NO LIMIT to that, Wes.
Great people here .. glad you have joined us.
