Hi,
I'm 25 and recently married (8mos). I was severly depressed in high school and took various medications at different times (effexor, paxil, ativan). Recently I quit smoking after 6 years and have fallen again. For 5 years I felt wonderful and productive. I began a healthy relationship and rarely felt down about anything....I was so proud of myself for coming out of my "blue period". Now I'm starting a life with a wonderful man who has never seen me this way. I have no self-confidence, zero energy and always feel that something is missing. I feel defeated that depression has struck again. I made an appointment to talk to a social worker on wednesday and cant wait! I don't want to go on meds again. Has anyone else had this experience with smoking? It feels good to get this out.
