Hi All,

It has been a while since I've been on this site. I struggled with severe, recurrent depression that lasted 22 years. Two years ago I finally got the help I desperately needed. I have been off medication for 2 years now and doing really well. I'm not advocating to get off medication, it took a lot of work in therapy to get healthy and stable.

I always knew my depression stemmed from childhood abuse and if I could work through those issues, I would recover. I have a multitude of people to thank, many of them here. Amazonmom, Googley, NicoleB, Nemo, Onward, and many many more. I am relieved that I finally found the courage to deal with the issues I had. I am grateful to have been able to find a way to maintain a relationship with mother.

I wanted to post this here so you all know there is hope. If you need help, don't ever be afraid to ask for it.

Love and Hugs,
Shady
