Hi, I'm new to these fourms. I am 22 years old and I've been depressed for over a year now. A lot had to do with me being sick from my allergies and having to quit my job that I thought that I would have forever. Any way, I have learned a lot over the past year and I've been coming out of my depression very slowly.

Some days it just seems like there is no ending to it but other's fly by so fast. Any way, I am in therapy and I go on a regular basis. I've learned that I've probably had this depression for most of my life just not realizing it until now.

I just thought that I would introduce myself and say hi to everyone! Been down a lot....

Welcome to PC! Allergies all by themselves can cause depression! I hope you are paying attention to any allergies hiding about you..like mold and mildew..those are known for depression flares. Been down a lot....

It's good imo that you have therapy. I hope you can still find some light each day, and that it will not always be this way Been down a lot....

Hi, Pam, and welcome!
Good that you are realizing you may have suffered from depression as a lifelong condition, and now you are doing something about it. For me, it came later in life with the help of medication.
Healing thoughts,
Patty

Welcome Pam!
PC is one place I have come to realize I am not alone in my thoughts and how I go about things. For me, that has been a great relief.
May you find something here that allows you to see your inner beauty!
