Hello To All,
This is my first time on this board and I'm so glad to find people that have some of the same things that I have. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 19 years old. That was over 30 years ago. I believe I have been on every antidepressant on earth. I found one that helped a little and I've been on it for years. Along with chemical depression I have the bonus of S.A.D. I'm divorced and have two daughters that are married. Sometimes I'm doing good to get the smallest bit of house work, or anything else, done. In general, I love being outside, especially in the spring and summer. At other times I hardly function. I hope I've made it possible for people to understand where I'm coming from. The first post is hard. I hope all of you have a good night and a better tomorrow......Connie

Connie, you are definitely not alone.
Hi Deb,
Thanks so much for your reply. I have had depression so long that being happy would probably scare me. I lost my mom on Oct. 21 so things are a little worse now. I do go to a grief meeting with my sister once a month but I think it's a too early for that. You suggested that maybe one of the meds that I couldn't take in the past might work for me now. I sure think that's worth a try and will ask my Dr. to try something else. Most of my family don't understand what I've been going through. I do feel worthless. Some days I can't do anything. If I could just keep my house cleaned every day it would help. I would be ashamed to have anyone in. I know I would feel so much better if I could do that. I feel overwhelmed. I appreciate your advice and thank you again for the reply. I hope you're doing ok and have a good day. You are appreciated.......Connie
I too have fought this for many years and it is at times worse than others and I agree that meds do need to be changed from time to time.
