Hello, QuestionableChaos, welcome to PsychCentral.

I sure hope you come back and check on us--I'm afraid with the 4th of July your post didn't get the notice it deserved.

I was diagnosed as depressed at age 8--and went downhill generally from there. Suicide attempts from then into my fifties!! Thing was, I was actually bipolar ... so I'd been treated for the wrong thing all those years. I'm soooo much better now that I'm being treated for what's wrong with me !

It's totally awesome that your hubby sent you to find somewhere like this. I hope you come back and find this. This site is a good one for support and online friendship. There are people here going through what you are. Please join us. You've done a wonderful job introducing yourself, now just keep coming back.

Roadie
