Looking to connect

[Jacelyn]

Hi, I’m new to this group. I’ve had MDD for over 30 years. I would like to connect with others who struggle with MDD, especially older adults.

Hello and Welcome. I am 58. I have had depression and anxiety since my early 20's. I have had agoraphobia for the last 4 years. This is such an amazing site to get support. It has helped and continues to help so much. I hope you find it as helpful as I have.

hi Jacelyn, I also have mdd and anxiety disorder. I have had episodes of depression since childhood and my first severe panic attack at age 5. I am on meds but the depression has been alot lately. I am a mom and grandma now so it’s been a lifetime. I also have chronic pain, which contributes to my depression. Welcome to this forum, lots of us here for support and to give others support on those really tough days. Hope you are feeling well tonight.

Hi I am 73 and have had MDD for over 20 years. Patience and self love are key to helping yourself.I am in treatment with primary doctor, psychatrist and therapist. The biggest thing I have learned is to trust my gut about being over medicated. Do not fear getting a second opinion from another doctor. I hesitated to do this and found out immediately that I was over medicated . Trust yourself and know your body. God bless your recovery.

Hi Jaclyn, I'm here. I'm just really really haunted tonight, but I know how important connection is, and I'm always open. Just so deep it aches tonight..🥺
