introduction

[empty1]

Hello, just taking a moment to introduce myself since this is my first time here. I prefer not to use my real name. I am a 46 year old female who has suffered from depression for most of my life. It has been better at times and worse at other times. Right now it is worse than ever. I thought I'd try communicating with others who understand this disease. Thank you all in advance for accepting me and thanks to the creator of this website for providing this opportunity.

I am a 47 year old female suffering probably the worst depression of my life too, although suffered off and on to varied degrees since I was 17. Fortunately, you have found a caring family here that understands and supports each other and sometimes just a few encouraging words in response to what I post help me keep going. I think you will find the same.

Are you seeing a therapist or taking medicine? What do you do for your depression? Looking forward to you posting more about yourself and getting to know you (I too don't use my name, great comfort in anonymity to be open about things wouldn't feel comfortable sharing with those who know me).

Anyway, welcome and HUGS...wishing you light and peace in your day!

Thank you shattered hope. Yes I have tried therapy and have tried every antidepressant known to my Doctor. Nothing has really helped. Thank you again for your welcoming words.
