I wanted to say hi to everyone! I'm from new york city, a single mom, 42, and I have a 5-yr old daughter. I was on all sorts of antidepressants for the past 2 years, including an anit-psycotic for calming (zyprexa) but just stopped taking everything a few weeks ago. I've had a low-grade depression my entire adult life, and I also suffer from anxiety. Now I'm trying to manage my depression on my own, as I was usually able to do, in my pre-child years. I'm looking forward to being a member of this board! I need all the support I can get. :)

Hi nygal.

Hi Christine,
thank you for the welcome over here! Yes, we seem to have more than our fair share of anxiety. sometimes I wonder if that is worse than depression. I'm curious about your trying to go without meds. How did that go? I fell into a serious depression 2 years ago, but I'm past it now and I hope things are looking up. I think part of my reaching out on these boards is to find hope and courage to keep staying positive.
