Jae Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hey, I am 18 Jae is what people call me and I am a girl. I could say soo much, but I will resist the temptation and cut to the "so-called" chase. I live in Alaska, (coldest place in winter, no nighttime in summer) and my main problem is dreaded Depression, the major kind that has no reason or cause. I'd say I have been this was since I was 9, so HALF of my life. I also have really bad anxiety, which when depression and anxiety get together they have a party at my expense. I think one of the most interesting things about me is my depression is really severe, but I am highly functional. it's like I seperate my lives, during the day I kinda depersonalize, and at night I have a scream match with myself. I have been on lot's of meds, and so far the only breakthrough I have had is I have no tolerance for SSRI's they either make me hostile or suicidal. So I am still trying to get through this, but I try not to think about it since being alive tomorrow is going to be a great accomplishment in and of itself, thanks!

bpladybug Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 welcome Jae do you think your physical environment influences your depression? i know I could not live in Alaska, it is dark enough in Washington State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vapourware Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hai and welcome. I also wonder if the environment is making your depression worse, because for some people, lack of light can make things worse. Have you thought about getting one of those light boxes? Apparently it's good for some people. I visited a bit of Alaska earlier this year - beautiful place but I also probably couldn't live there permanently. Too cold in winter for me.
