Hi. I have recently found this site, but have not intro myself tho I have posted a few responses. I was diagnosed with major depression ( not a surprise) with psychotic tendencies (huh? Did not see that coming) in 2005. Things became worse and had a few nervous breakdowns. Felt better in 2009 and thought I had turned the corner. Wrong. Late 2010, early 2011 I fell back again. Began feeling better by the end of 2011 and stopped therapy and meds. Probably not a good idea. Back came the darkness about 6 months ago and I have been trying to deal with it since.

I am back on meds and am also undergoing intensive psychoanalysis. Things could not be much worse. Therapy is bringing up a lot of garbage I had tried to forget. The self loathing and sense of failing everyone have become so acute that I feel more lost than ever and unsure whether I can continue.

So now I have joined this community. I look forward to reading your posts, knowing that as you have walked in my shoes you understand a little what I am feeling.

Best of luck to all

Repeating bouts of depression are no fun. You've come to a good place though. Many folks here have experienced similar things and for the most part, there is a lot of support no matter when you need it. Welcome!

My first time here - I have been diagnosed with severe clinical depression - I've been off work now for 5 months - I have been very teary the last few days and just am overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated. My third try at meds was discontinued yesterday as my doc says it's not working either - won't see him til Thursday - seeing my counsellor tomorrow & I'm so hoping she can give me a boost. I'm hoping being here will help - just knowing there are people available.
