I just thought I was stressed because I am running after a 3year old & a 1 year old and don't seem to get anything done except my friends seem to cope without any problems! I too keep getting virus/cold straight after I have just gotten over one. Glad to hear you are getting better.

He was and extremely unhappy person until he was fifty years old. He finally found a medical practioner (in Canberra, where he now lives BTW) who finally helped him after all those years. He is now a happy productive person and has been for the last fourteen years. All those years wasted!

I knew I was sad, disjointed and absent from "life" but had no clue that I had depression. I thought I was rationing calmly and sanely but now with more perspective on board I clearly was not. No amount of counseling was going to sway me either because I thought I was rational.

I still find times that I slip back into a depressive state but am able to pull myself out of it. My husband, on the other hand, has had it since he was a teen, left untreated and only started taking medication about 7 years.

If you had a broken something, you would get it fixed, and crappy brain chemistry is not any different.<br /><br />It sounds like you have a good medical resource, so be assertive about trying new meds...someone already mentioned that...and even combining certain types of medications.

I have also suffered in the past from depression and I also know several people who have to take medication long term so I know its not an easy thing to accept.

But as someone who is also dealing with this piece of crap affliction, it really does help to hear other people talk about, so thank you. And don't let yourself think for a second that taking medication makes you a failure - it's hard to ask for help, but D is absolutely right that it takes strength to admit it when you aren't Jo and Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392869160307080252noreply@blogger.com
