Purgatorios Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wow, this is one of the first forums I've ever posted in without lurking for more than a month. I'm depressed, and it's hard. Always have been, 'cept recently it's gotten a lot worse, and a lot more paralyzing. My normal coping mechanisms haven't been working, and the good ol' gun fantasy has come back. Plus I've been isolating and some other stuff that some of you might recognize. My new MD is moving really slowly, which I get but ain't helping much right now. I'm almost 24 and am at a summer job before my last semester of a biochem degree. I should be applying to nursing schools...but I can't, just like I can't do a lot of things right now. Sometimes I think I'll always be crazy in the bad way, sometimes I think I can handle it. Looking for people around the depression boards who might get me and not just think I'm weak, and to hear about how people have been dealing with it without the "sometimes all of us go through hard things, look on the bright side" we usually get from normals (although I like normals just fine.) Anyway, thanks for having this kind of a place around, hope to get to know some of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistyGypsy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Greetings & welcome Purgatorios! Depression is a bitch isn't it? It makes you think that you're weak & incompetent when in fact you're madly treading water just to stay afloat. If you've nearly finished a degree you've done really well! I hope your MD can help you get a mental health plan into action. I'm pretty new to CB too, but have found incredible support & guidance in coping with my depression. I find writing a blog really helpful too. All the best, Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkthorn Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi, and welcome. I'm a biochemistry major too, but I'm only second year. I can't wait to be in your position, almost finished uni. We'll probably 'see' a lot of each other since I'm on the depression boards a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
