Hello All!

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a little about me.

I am from Pennsylvania. I have suffered from some form of depression for what seems to me like forever. I have tried many different types of medication and am currently on Effexor. I have been feeling very depressed again lately and have an appointment with my physician next week.

I was hoping that perhaps by joining a support group such as this one, that I might be able to share my own experiences with depression as well as to benefit from the experiences of others in an effort to help all of us to get better.

I am just so tired of feeling this way. I just can't tell you what it would mean to feel good again! I am do not like having to drag myself through each day fulfilling my obligations. I want to once again experience how it feels to really be alive and to have enthusiasm and energy to do the things I once loved to do. Currently, if I had my druthers, I would just stay in bed. I know that this group will understand my feelings.

Thanks for listening and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better and hoping to be a supportive member.
