My Depression has lasted the past 13 years. It has been a long struggle for me to get better. After several years of therapy & neurofeedback I have gotten much better. Going though my therapy process; I learned that my own mother was a Narcissist, and that my childhood was very isolated and lonely from an emotional perspective. My parents were never there for me emotionally, and I have struggled with relationships in my life. I am going to group therapy which is really helping with social skills and personal relationships.

I am finally to the point where I do not have to take Cymbalta anymore. It feels wonderful to have finally made it to the other side of feeling normal after 13 years of depression and 4.5 years of therapy and 2 years of neurofeedback. I am feeling extremely upset right now about having all of those years that were lost that their was nothing that I was able to do about. It took me a long time to figure out that I was able to get help for my illness. Now that I am in my late 30's I am thinking about going back to graduate school and hopefully be able to meet someone and get married. I have gone through so much emotional pain in my life thusfar; and I am looking for some validation that things will get better for me. I have done all this self work, and want something good to come out of it. Why is life so unfair?
