I Am Depressed
Perhaps I can come back and share the longer, more complicated and interesting version later, but, basically, here it is.
When I was in 5th grade I developed GAD, General Anxiety Disorder, thanks to a nasty teacher.
Then, in the summer of seventh grade, the depression started.
Between the summer of Seventh grade and the end of 9th, I had attempted suicide 7 times, tried 15 different medications, seen 5 different psychologists/psychiatrists and copious doctors. I had effectively no purpose in life other then to hope i'd get run over by a bus in the near future, or be the "sad" result of some fatal horrible gun shooting next week. I had no interest in anything. At all. Unless you count an interest in lying around all day doing nothing, not even eating, an interest. Now i'm off all meds. We're trying this. We're not sure it'll work. The depression has been better lately, but we've still never found a "solution" or anything resembling it. I'm not suicidal anymore, at least, which is probably for the best. Oh, and I don't remember two years of my life. How wonderful. Isn't that a GREAT protective thing for the brain to do.
Anyway, just thought i'd introduce myself... well, there are eight my selves, but if you want to read more on that go to my profile or my other groups.
Nice meeting you all ^^.
