lavender Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 First post here, but am no stranger to the craziness that binds us, having a treatment history (recurrent depression) approaching the 30 year mark. Been somewhat "stable" for the past 6 years... as in "functioning but still feeling like hell" the entire time. Recently lost my job and also a relationship that had barely begun but was significant to me. Things pretty much fell apart after that. Am currently trying to pull it together-some days are better than others. Going to a new pdoc next week and see my therapist once a week. Really glad to have found this site, it's one of the very few things I've been able to relate to at all these past weeks, so wanted to go ahead and introduce myself.

lavender Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thank you all for the replies, they have helped so much in that I'm feeling a lot "less alone" today. Truly appreciate and value your support and only hope I can somehow help you too. Some days.... even hours and minutes....seem so horrendous and impossible! I ended up (for the last 10 years) on the meds I'm on because 1.) Zoloft was the only AD that didn't have any side effects-for me 2.) Remeron resulted in my being able to actually sleep. Am hopeful ( and I use that word reluctantly...) that perhaps one or more of the newer meds will better address the real underlying problem, which has persisted in spite of taking meds as prescribed-religiously for over a decade. Yikes, sure hope this isn't "as good as it gets." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
