aandrews73 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hello, I am very new to this and don't know the first thing about using it. I read many of others questions and replys and I have so much that I would, or could say in response. I have been through hell with anxiety and depression, my health sucks a**, I could write a novel on life and am still pushing through and willing to learn and help others. Hopefully this will go somewhere and I can get involved with some conversations. That is my hope. I have many many questions for others just as I may have answers for them. Thank You.

aandrews73 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 I appreciate the welcomes! I am sure I will have plenty to talk about. Love the name CrazyRedHead by the way.....I come from a family of redheads and my children all have red hair. Major depressive disorder, anxiety and sleep disturbance here!

CrazyRedhead Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Alas, neither one of my children has red hair....Redheads seem to skip a generation in my family ( I got mine from my grandmother)........Perhaps I will have some redheaded grandchildren one day, though....... I have everything you listed also, with the extra special added bonus of OCD........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandbabies got the red hair as well! LOL...I have not been diagnosed with having OCD, but admittedly will say, I too have such things that I refer to as anal tendencies. Red trait runs strong in the genes! All of my brothers 3 children are red heads as well. We love our Family and are proud to be Ginger! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayingabovethewater60 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Welcome! I too suffer with severe depression /anxiety...going through a rough spell right now I intend to. Hang around the forum more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandrews73 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Things a bit rough for me as well. A recent increase in anti- depressant meds seemed to be working but the adverse affects weren't tolerable. We decided to drop back down to original dose so am now trying to readjust. The ups and downs are bad enough on their own not to mention the intensity when trying to adjust medications. The trial and error and waiting game seem to be never ending in the battle of depression. I often wonder if I'll ever reach a normal where I can just go day by day and feel the same??? Holidays are not much help for that. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
