This is something I've never done before so please bear with me. I have suffered from depression, adhd, and anxiety as long as I can remember. This time of the year is really hard for me and I made the dumb mistake of not taking my medicine for the last few weeks. I realized my error when I noticed that my jaw muscles were tired and sore at the end of the day. It's weird because I don't really grind my teeth. I notice I hold my mouth a certain way when I'm stressed. It's more like I suck in my cheeks. Anyway,
I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster and I just want it to stop. I know with the help of my meds (which I am taking) things will be tolerable once again.

Rosablanca: you are definitely in the right place. I also have depression and anxiety, and I've found this site to be very helpful in starting my own recovery. Welcome aboard!
YsoBlue: Hope you feel better once your meds kick in. Although, if you stop taking your meds again without medical advice, I may have to nag you in my Official Capacity as a duly-licensed busybody!
Seriously though folks, welcome and good luck to you both.

Another welcome coming your way, rosablanca91! You are in the most right place. I have suffered from clinical depression in the past, but find myself mostly plagued with anxiety these days. Here's to hoping you find the comfort and friendship here that so many have already...


YsoBlu - welcome to you too! Medication can be a wonderful thing - I know. I've been on Paxil for my anxiety for over a year now, and it's given me the clarity to see clearly and know that if I don't feel ok at the moment, I will... soon.

Rosablanca and YsoBlu - welcome to the forum. You will find lots of caring support here.

Hey all... everyone ok? It's been a while so I wanted to check in and see if our new folks are still with us... are you guys out there?

Welcome to the both of you.

It is sometimes difficult to share our inner thoughts with our family and friends that are around us all the time. We don't want to worry them.

I can assure the two of you that you have found the right place to come and vent just what is happening in your life.

Sit down at the keyboard, turn off the editor in your head and just let us know how you're feeling. We are a pretty tough bunch. You can cut through the c**p if trying to explain depression on this site. We are all in the same boat and all look out for each other.

This is a safe place.

Agree, Monty girl, as usual, huh??? This is a safe place...

Sorry I've been gone for a while. I was away and then I was sad. But I'm back now and glad of it!!

I agree that it is easier to talk to people you are not that close to. Makes me feel safer that way. I not only hate to burden people, but I also hate to feel judged by anyone. No one judges here, another reason to love it!!

How is everyone?
