everyone who has suffered depression has a story to tell

Im no different having battled it most of my life....after being on PC for a few months I have gained a better understanding of mental illness and all the stigmas attached to it....I also feel lucky because I do not suffer like some others here....just depression, anxiety, and that constant feeling your life isnt what it was supposed to be.....

I was recently terminated by my therapist.....I am starting to think about her a lot lately....I miss having someone to talk to and someone who has answers.....outside of my wife and my 69 year old part time employee here at my business, I have no other friends

I spend most of my time working and when I get home I battle my 3 year old son and wife who has CFS/Fibromyalgia.....she has a Bachelors of Nursing degree but cannot work as a nurse.....Im the sole provider for my family and money is always an issue

I took up guitar to occupy any free time I have left....Its hard and I dont practice near as much as I should.....but I do enjoy it

my physical health has suffered as well......overweight, high b.p...cholesterol.....and sleep apnea ( mostly due to me being fat)

Its hard to be positive when you feel like crap most days, but somehow I function day-to-day....

like I said everyone has a story to tell........I guess thats why this website exists....im just glad I found it and found a few people who understand .......
