Hi, I'm new at this but I think talking on here will be easier than it has been to talk to a doctor. I am 43yrs. old and have been fighting depression for more than 20yrs. and doing it mainly by myself. It takes me a while to know some one to trust before I would start to let it be known about my life. I'm afraid even right now and my insides are going in many directions..... And I'm hurting inside to keep everyone around me from knowing how much I hurt.
Have to go.....

Hope you find what you're looking for here. It must be hard to be fighting depression for so long.

madmac, I hope you will be able to open up more. Keeping things inside for so long must be very hard.

Feel free to PM me if you need to talk.

Welcome to PC!
I hope you are able to share because I find that it is rather painful emotionally to keep things in especially when the moods are messed up.
