Hi, I just Joined,


I donn't Know If it's depretion or not.


I don't know that much about Deprestion. But, Sometimes, I'll take leave of my sences, lose touch with reality.........When When I was Younger, We would go to the shore, And I would sleep till noon,  And people would try to get me up for whatever, But, all I wanted to do was sleep.  


 I find Myaelf struggling to keep interested in things,  I always  had trouble making and keeping friend's...........And I do have Neurological Issues (which doesn't make thing's any easier) however, I do still have an appatite, I have read that loss of appatite can be/is a symtome.


My friend recently moved to FL......Who know's If I'll ever see again, He said I could come  out when he get's settled.....But, we'll see

Can you write to your friend by email or letter or phone him? Skype is very good for keeping in touch with friends some distance away.

Let me ask, do YOU feel like you are depressed?
Yes, there is the official diagnosis of depression with criteria to meet it, which it does sound like you have some of them, but what matters is how YOU feel.

You do have symptoms of depression. It also takes a good deal of time to recover from, but it can be beat! Start with a dr appointment and start therapy or counseling. I’ve seen healing and miracles with my daughters. I hope you have a support person, friends, or family to be with you on this journey. Don’t go through it alone if you don’t have to. <3

I do feel good someday's, And then there are those day's when I get angry, cause I have a hard time using my hand's ( I have ataxic cerebral palsy........Which makes it hard to control my hand's, And effect's My motor skills and Balance)

I'D like to see a dr........But, I still live at home, and my mom likes to go to the dr's with me, I don't know how to tell her, it's just something I have to do myself..........I am taking med's for acid reflex/gerd...........and those med's may be making it worse.

And Yes, I have herd from my friend.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    I have toys.  So the ones I have not used or need any more, are gone in the trash.  One of my toys is just a regular hand held massager with an attachment.  The other is a real insertable toy.  This morning I ordered a new toy with attachments.  It is small and has a brush like attachment and the other looks like a rose with a tiny tongue.  I'll get it in about 2 weeks.  Rechargable and...
