I personally can't tolerate meds, so this isn't one of my self care tools.
I'm hoping we can create a healthy supportive and safe environment in this thread, I know some of us, including me, have not had many safe places in our lives. I'm hoping that we can change this, one day at a time.

fuzzy----------self care is vital...each one of us is different...
the symptoms and signs of depression are similar but the causes are many..
each person here needs to find out what is causing THEIR DEPRESSION..
and then you start working on how you will recover...progress not perfection..
taking a psych drug may help you feel better but it may do nothing about what is causing your depression...taking alcohol at night helps me feel better
but the next day I have to deal with the stuff in my life...what I encountered in life broke me down 3 different times ....benzos really helped me but it was tough going off of my valium..the anti-depressants that I took over the many years ....I am not sure about...and I cant get off of that damn celexa right now...
fuzzy--- is it ok to talk like this on this support thread....
