Hi everyone,

My name is Anna and I'm new to Depression and medication (I'm on 10 mg Lexapro daily).

I was having depression systems that I think were triggered from some events last year that happened to me and my family. I'm seeing a counselor and taking the medication which is helping me a lot. I look forward to meeting and getting to know all of you!

Welcome to the board, Anna!

The people here are amazingly supportive and compassionate. I've never met such a caring group of people in my life.

I've been posting here since last March, though I was MIA for a couple of months this fall while I was going through a high pressure time.

I've struggled with depression since I was small, but had a major breakthrough in therapy last year. My therapist used Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help me change the way I think about my life. It has helped me so much! I still have difficult times, but it's nothing like it used to be.

I'm glad that you've found our little oasis of support. It's a great place to come with struggles or with triumphs, or anything else you are dealing with. There's almost always someone around who's been through something similar and who knows how you feel.

Welcome Again,

MariaC

Welcome to the board Anna!!

I too have been depressed since I was young. In fact, I don't ever remember NOT being depressed.

I am glad that you are on Lexapro and seeing a therapist. I am also glad to hear that they are helping.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

Take care

Pamela
