Just joined this site !
After falling back into depression again. This would be the fifth time at least. Im really tired of going around in circles and visiting the doctors, taking new medication for my depression - them not working, stopping the medication, trying to cope on my own and then failing depressed again.
The last doctor I saw said I had recurrent depression. I dont know much about this, other than the fact that its wrecked my life over the past 7yrs or more.And now I have no life. Ive just admitted to myself what a huge problem depression has been in my life, which is why I joined this site.
I feel weak, like I cant do anything to help myself and I would like to know if there are any others who have found themselves in this endless cycle of depression and how they remained with any hope ???
I dont trust the doctors anymore, mostly because they seem to have no clue as to what anti-depressants would work for me. Its an endless battle and though I often feel helpless, I know there is hope for some .. and some people do have happier lives eventually.

Love and Light Kay

Joy of Life,
I have had a lot of experience with depression. I was diagnosed when I was 13 as being "clinically" depressed and have been battling it ever since. I too have had problems with bad doctors who looked for a quick fix and then boot me out the door for a new client. Stay strong! It is all any of us can do. You will find some of the greatest people on this site who are willing to help as much as they can.

Welcome,
Jessica
