hiya! im livi and i just joined. i got diagnosed with atypical recurring depression a year and a half ago, have been on strong meds since then and have had to stay at a MH clinic a couple months ago. ive actually had this depression for my most of my life without knowing as i was more occupied with my awful home life.
...well this sounds very, well, depressing.
im not doing FANTASTIC per say, but im okay at the moment.
what i wanted to ask was, is anyone willing to tell me their experiences of how they deal with longtime depression? i mean, how you guys cope, what you do when it gets worse or maybe what you do so it doesnt?
and really, im just looking for some folks to openly talk to about this kind of stuff and maybe, though it may sound pathetic, a couple of buddies i can be open with about this and regularly talk to.
i uhm, hope some one replies. xxx
