i have posted on the board a few times but havent been on in a while.
i have had some good times untill a few weeks ago when my pills stopped working.... again... this is the like 5th time my pills have done this i am tired of starting to feel better then like a brick shatters a window i am just as down as i was before. i know i am not alone in this happening but im so tired of the doctor saying "well.... lets try these" i have been trying so hard to get on a treatment plan that works and after 6 months i am still waiting on a list to get evaluated. its like standing in a crouded room screaming my head off for someone to please help me and everyone avoids me because i have a shirt that says mentally unbalanced im tired and i just want to feel better why is it so hard?
i want to go out and not freak out because that person walked to close to me or god forbid brushed up against me. i want to be able to get up and make my kids breakfast instead of just giving them cereal each morning... but most of all i want to be able to love my family like they deserve. im tired of being a burden

Evaluated??? You are on meds with no evaluation/diagnosis? I think you need a different medical 'service'.
"What causes depression?
Although no single cause of depression has been identified, it appears that interaction among genetic, biochemical, environmental, and psychosocial factors may play a role."
