Hello,
I was diagnosed with depression in October of 2004 when my friends took me to the emergeny room because they hadn't seen me for over 2 weeks. I was just starting my second year of University at the time and right up to and including when I was at the hospital, if you had asked me if I was depressed I would have said no. In my mind, if you were depressed you were sad and crying but I wasn't. It turns out that I had been depressed for at least 6 years. I thought that feeling nothing was normal and it was what you should be feeling when your weren't extremely happy.
I am now on Effexor and Wellbutrin now but seem to have recently ended up in the same place I was nearly two years ago. On top of all this I also suffer from constant headaches and migraines since I was eight and I don't know if they are getting worse because of the depression or if the depression is worse because of the headaches.
I know I have a problem since every time I take the depression test I score between 65 and 81. I am hoping that this program may motivate me to get better.
