Newbie - Not sure even what to say but
| Mon, 04-26-2004 - 9:31am |
I didn't realize there was a depression board on here. I've been seeing a psychiatrist for the past 5 1/2 years, taken various medications and realized that I was depressed for quite a few years prior to getting help. I ended up not being able to function at work and had to go see someone after finding out my mother had got her cancer back. She passed away about 6 months after initially starting to see my doctor (5 years ago on April 30) and I haven't been the same since.
I keep holding on to that thread and praying that some day I might begin to feel normal again, but it is so hard.
I'm not sure what else to say write now, but I would like to have other people going through similiar problems to talk too.
Sorry to ramble on, but thank you for listening.
Thanks again, Ellen

Welcome Ellen,
It's okay to not know what to say at first, many people come here and just start typing and are surprised at all the things that come pouring out.

Thank you, Ellen
Honey, I know what you mean about trying to interact with anyone when this dreadful illness is weighing you down!
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am glad you found this board, though, the gals here are great. I don't know much about the kind of grief you must be going through, but I am sure some of the ladies here will have great support for you. I will send lots of hugs and well wishes.
I have been seeing a Psychiatrist for the past 5 years, just a few months before my mom passed away. He is a good doctor, but it always seems that something will pop up in my life that **normal people** would be able to handle, but it sends me into an out of control tail spin that I can't seem to get out of.
Thanks again, Ellen
Thank you, Ellen
