An Everyday Battle

[theredhead]

Hello...like everyone else, I am looking to connect with those who are suffering from depression. I have suffered with this my whole life and tried many medications and sessions to work through it; however it manifests itself at the most inopportune time. It has now caused me to withdraw from others, excluding my family because you just have to fake it with them, and is keeping me from obtaining employment. I consider myself very educated but depression doesn't care, people tell me I am talented, but it doesn't matter, I have a wonderful husband and children, but it is not enough....sound familiar??? I even was working on my Master's degree in Psychology so I could gain more understanding, but that doesn't really mean anything and is also why I don't want to pay someone to listen to my problems. So I am looking for someone or more to begin this journey to what we consider "normal". I don't think it is something that will ever go away but helping and listening to one another here will be a great start.

I look forward to your response.
