Hello

[rabbit 17]

Hello -- I've been a lurker for a while, and posted a discussion in the depression thread, but now I'd like to introduce myself. Seems like a nice place here.

In a nutshell: I'm 40, married with child, employed, sufferer of periodic bouts of depression since age 10, taking Cymbalta 60 mg. Been through a zillion therapists, as well as Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Xanax, fish oil, brainwave CDs, self-hypnotism tapes, etc. etc. Mostly stable now -- for the moment.

For fun, I run marathons. Which you'd think would help my depression, but I can still be down even when training heavily. (On the other hand, what would I be like if I didn't run? Scary to think about.)

Thanks for listening. I'm kinda shy about responding to threads when I don't think I can help, but I'll try.

Welcome to CrazyBoards, R17. Please PM any of the mods if you have a question or a problem. Don't worry about posting until you're comfortable, and read through the rules at the very top of the boards if you haven't done so.

After that, you're all set! Good luck, and I hope we can help you keep that depression at bay.

Welcome R17, glad you are here. Make yourself at home. It is a nice place to be.

Thanks! And the rules are cool -- I think I can abide by them. (If I invent the sure cure for depression, I'll sell it somewhere else.)

When I registered, I honestly didn't realize there was another poster named "Rabbit" with a number following. Apologies for the message-board faux-pas.

Heh, I'll forgive you, but I'm the original!

Welcome!
