I have been suffering from low-grade depression for about the last 5 years and I've slipped into a deep depression recently. Or I just admitted it to myself. I've had a series of setbacks and losses in the last few years - lost my job, my neice and father died, brother and I have become estranged and now I am estranged from my best friend.
I haven't worked in 3 years and feel like a total looser because of it. Each day that goes by brings me further into debt. I have dug this hole for myself and I have no idea how to get out of it. I have no medical insurance and have had to stop taking the medication I was on - Effexor. Effexor seemed to help me function somewhat, but masked the problem so I was able to ignore it. My life has become worthless and it's my own damned fault. I just need a place where I can be honest and say "everything sucks" and not be judged for it. I feel so sad and so hopeless. Even though I have experienced many periods of depression before and they always go away, with or without treatment - getting through this one is so hard. Especially since I've only just admitted to myself how bad it really is. |

Welcome mamunia7,,pull up a chair and be as honest as you allow. Nope,,no judgements here..egos are hung at the door,,sometimes never to be totally reclaimed. Just people here trying to understand why it is that we "feel" so different. Welcome again... Lenny

Welcome. And yes, you can come here and say life sucks and not be judged. But hopefully you'll find some good supportive people here who'll help you get out of that funk.
I hope you feel better and again, welcome. Cyran0

Welcome to PC. I am sorry that so much is going on in your life and how much distress it is causing you. Drug companies do have programs to help people who can not afford to buy them. It is an easy process to apply. There are government agencies that have people who can help you find someone to prescibe them if you have no one and to help you apply.
