Hi, I'm new to this site and would like to share a bit of my story. I'm a 46 year old married mother of 2 with the nice house and the "white picket fence". Everything should be perfect. Right? NOT!
I was diagnosed with clinical depression and went on medication 10 years ago and have been on the verge of depressed and "not bad" ever since. More recently, I have become frustrated with just feeling not bad and I'm in the process of changing to a new medication in the hopes of feeling better. I should note here that without any medication, my life would have been unbearable.
My depression is debilitating and affects every aspect of my life. I also suffer physical pain almost every day.
I am greatful to not have suicidal thoughts. For one, I would never give anyone the satisfaction. And secondly, I really want to be here for my children.
I don't care how long I have to remain medicated as long as I can get some relief.
Thanks for reading.-s.
