Depression Understood Forums

I am having a pretty good day. We have had to take in a 14 year old boy who ran away from home after he was punched. He came to us and we called the police. He will be staying with us until the county conducts its investigation. Perhaps this isn't the best time for me but it's us or Juvey. He's a go...

Dear Dame Renaissance, You are not alone! I have coped these year and pretended that everything was ok when a lot of times it wasn't. We keep our head high and trudge on thru. I think the trudging is a part of our therapy. Too much trudging can bring on a bad episode tho. I am in the middle of a bad...

Thanks Obayan. I am glad someone read my post. I am so anxious and last night I took seroquel. This morning I am angry and I feel zoned out. I just can't bring myself to do anything and i am fighting back the urge to completely fall apart. My husband is on a deadline with his publisher and really ha...

Hello all. I have had quite the journey with depression and anxiety. Right now however, I am struggling with every thought, every experience, every feeling. I am overwhelmed by the smallest of things and my family's finances send me over the edge to even think of them. I am starting Seroquel tonight...
