I too have major depression, they changed or should I say added unipolar to my DX. I don't have the manic highs and I have many things that trigger my lows that are out of my control. The last one that triggered mine was a assessment at the low cost service that I found out only allowed 6 visits. the meds don't do anything for me and I am trying to cope the best I can. I have little in ways of a support group use my cognitive thinking to the point of exhaustion in the thinking area. overwhelmed and overloaded. I take it one day at a time good and bad.

I don't have the funds for treatments as I am unemployed not eligable for help since I live with my retired father and our income is over the limit. Sucks to be me, but I have a roof over my head and some food to eat. when I was going to a pdr. he had me on vitamin and mineral supplements based on lab work and thought by his ( and his other patients results) studies, research and my lab results that it was a genetic ( he overloaded the lab that was doing the genetic testing for this) problem that was causing my system to keep from working properly.
