Hey Missbell, I must have hit the wrong button before I was finished writing to you. Do you have family and friends that you can talk to, or a pet? I do not have family or friends to lean on, but I do have 2 cats that I Love dearly and they help me fight for my life everyday. I am not saying that it is easy because it is not, but you are young and I know that if you can find the correct treatment you will be able to live with depression!!!!  REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS LOG ONTO THIS SITE AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE THERE FOR YOU! I found this support group several weeks ago when I was having alot of suicide thoughts and I still have them but I know that if I log on to this support group someone will be there to listen, and that has helped me tremendously!  So stay strong and we will all fight this illness together OK!!!! :) Deb

Hi Missbell, I have severe depression also, so I know how you are feeling!! Please hang in there and you will be able to pull through this, if I can hang in there I know that you can too!!  My depression is also really bad right now because the side effects from the meds make me really sick so I had to stop taking them a few months ago, and it has taken me many weeks to find a Dr. that may be able to help me and I still have to wait until May 16th for my appt. I am going to find out if I am a candidate for ECT treatment, because I am 50 years old and have suffered from depression my entire life and have taken so many different anti depressants that I have lost count!  So please please hang in there with me and fight for your life!!!!

You are not alone and you can do this.  Depression can take us to dark, desperate, and isolated places in our minds.  Many of us have been there and know how you are feeling.  Let your doctor know how low you really are so he/she can tweek meds or see about giving you some.  If you cannot hang on, get to the hospital for help immediately.  Please keep posting so we can know how best to support you.  I care about you.
