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 guys new to the site. Been having problems for 8 weeks or more. Just switched psychotherapists as well. Was seeing one because I have no support structure. No real family. No real friends because of recent grad from college. I have great health ins, Kaiser and was seeing one from there. I had to make an emergency visit because I go so near the end of my rope. She thought I might have depression, and I tend to agree now that I have looked at it.
What drove me to seek out help is that when I saw the medical RN yesterday she thinks I am only going for attention, although it was on the recommendation of the therapist, not me, that I get on meds. I have had a couple of medical issues since getting this insurance in march and she thinks I am making most of my health problems up. Things like bronchitis, cluster head aches and most recent 2nd degree burns to my leg and one foot brought on by severe fatigue from not eating, had braces but on teeth among all of this.
It really upset me. I sent her a long letter today via email. I already have trust issues with doctors and dentists from an issue where a dentist injured me 11 months ago. Now that my only source of help has turned on me I dont know what to do.
I hope this place can help, sorry for the long post.

On the burns, I was having a lot of trouble eating because i couldn't chew. Finally i thought meat loaf would be easy to chew and tasty. I hadn't eaten for about 24 hours, oops, and not drinking enough. I had a drip pan under the pan and started to loose it when I pulled it out of the oven and spilled in on myself like a true idiot.
