Just wanted to stop by and say hello since I also suffer from depression (and social anxiety). Its been a long 20 years of various medications and therapy. Some worked for awhile and others didn't at all. I'm quite exhausted to be honest because I feel life is passing me by and here I am still fighting. I thought it might help if I joined a discussion group like this to talk with others that could relate. Its always a good feeling to be understood.

I could have written your post. Welcome to PC. Yes joining this forum has helped me. 20 years of treatment and battling it too. A life time of having it or at least since 13.

Hello there. The last thing I thought I would do this year was joining a forum! I'm glad I did as for the first time in more than 30 years I'm not battling this alone. Hope you find the support you need here too.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
