Hi Lindammarie

First, let me say your profile page is beautiful -- very lovely -- very cheery -- love seeing all that color. I have been dealing with depression, probably for about, as long as you have, too. I am a senior lady, and I battle low-grade depression, every day, for most of the day -- am on effexor xr, but it has not been working for a while, so I am not a happy girl at the moment, with a medication that is doing nothing for me, and putting up with the daily miseries!!

Don't know if meeting someone else who has gone through this forever, and probably will forever, gives you any support or comfort, but sometimes, just knowing we are not in this alone can help for a while
