I have talked to my Dr and tried hotlines. No real help.
Does this site really help?

Hi Miriam, I do find this site helps to make connections with real people. I tend to suffer depression and isolate myself, so making friends here can really help. I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time... I hope the change in medication helps. Keep your head up!

Yes, this site helps and yes, there is still goodness out there. All of us have been there where you are now. Wait and let the new meds take hold and also wait to see the next sunrise. everything looks better in the light of a new day.

What is the source of your depression or what is getting you down?

Just tried to write explanation but was cut off. Long story. Will not do this again. So much said and went into space.

That happens to me sometimes too. I can spiral a bit while writing everything out, and if I don't have the time and energy to fully process everything I get caught in the spiral. For me, having alone time to get it out, feel it, and process it makes all the difference. Wishing you well!

it's a good place with a lot of good people.. many of whom are in the same boat or worse and are just looking for a gentle shoulder and a sympathetic ear..

some, like myself, are always up for making new friends and trying to find others who will treat us kinder than perhaps some in our lives do so dont be afraid to reach out to others and maybe you'll find something or someone you've been missing out on..

hope you feel better soon!

I meant that I was explaining my life and all of a sudden everything I had written disappeared without hitting send button.. I was calm, not hysterical. Why did that happen?? Makes not want to come back.

I will be praying for you. I will pray you find the support you need, strength to move forward and wisdom to understand how valuable YOU are! I hope the med change helps... keep talking to people and staying connected. Hugs!

    After work, I am taking a defensive driver course today.  It is online and only cost $10 and it may save me as much as $300 on my car insurance.  I got the information from my car insurance company.  Little known fact about me is that I drive with two feet.

    One day in August many years ago, the strings to our hearts were woven together in a magical and sacred way.They remained tied together though they were taken on a journey fraught with challengingdemons serpents and deep wounds.But still, they stayed tied together.They were torn apart and like a wound that leaves a scarthey cannot heal.  They are broken.   Ripped, callously slashed.The heart...
