Hi, I'm a newbie here - a 28 yr old female from the suburbs of upstate ny..and like everyone else here are a long time (12 yrs) victim of depression. About a year ago I was dx with anxiety disorder and ptsd after suffering from a pretty tramatic 9 year battle with domestic violence and sexual assault. My therapist suggested I try other avenues to combat my problem seeing how rx all suck with horrible side effects that make the depression seem worse for me. I'm also a "wife" and "stepmom" in training of 4 (including my bf) so I have my work cut out for me I guess you could say. Seems the busier the better, or is it really...almost seems to overwhelm and thus the cycle continues. I've been trying to finish my second college degree for over 4 years now to no avail..never seem to be able to focus on one thing without being distracted.
I know there's others out there suffering like this day to day with stupid stuff that seems so easily manageable for others but is a constant struggle for people with depression...are any of you out there??
