I am new to this community

[springtime9]

I have had depression and anxiety for most of my life. I have been on most of the SSRIs and they just don't seem to be working very well anymore. I am in therapy, and I do a lot of meditation to calm myself but I still feel really anxious. I am really happy that I found this community to share with people and to help other members with their hard times.

Thanks for joining us. I also appreciate this community. It is a place that we can receive and give. I was on many medications for about 5 years. The psychiatrists kept changing the types and dosage levels. I went off all my medications about 3 years ago and am functioning better. Medications could not solve my major condition, that of forgiving myself. I still have many struggles, and my days alternate between feeling lousy and feeling more positive and hopeful.   This is my situation, and I understand that some folks may require being on medications for the rest of their lives.
