Hi Dakota rain. I also hv MDD & was experiencing occasional suicidal thoughts but I found out that these thoughts were a side effect" of the med I was on.....So...I told my Dr. & started dropping way back on tbe dosage & almost weaning myself off of the drug but not completely yet. I'm down to 5mg every other day! I started out on 20mg so BE careful & be your own self advocate bcz sometimes doctors don't LISTEN! Good luck & hope this can help you. Btw...I just joined tonight. You are my first contact.

Hi Dakota, I used to and I understand. Read the Bible and walk in the sun. Do something really good for someone else.

For 25 years I was very depressed and suicidal. Never did I think it would go away. But God took it from me.....it was so releasing to wake up and not think oh I would rather be dead. I know it can be so hard but please hold on to hope. So glad to have you here and that you are talking about it I know that has been one of the most helpful things for me. -Rachel

I just read your post, and am sorry for not replying sooner. I have been going through what you're experiencing since I was a young girl. Then I suffered postpartum depression before it was even 'discovered'. My diagnosis after considering suicide in 2002, was severe, recurring clinical depression and PTSD. I was given some drugs and sent on my way. Therapy only made me more depressed. My husband was my therapist, and did a wonderful job, but last month I went off the cliff! The year had been filled with challenges and then we were evacuated for over 4 weeks because of the California wildfires. When we got home, the water was not flowing, for a week. I worked like a trooper through all of it, but when the water problem was fixed, I fell apart.

I feel for you. How can I help? I'm here for you.
