Experiences with

Clinical depression

Suffering from depression and anxiety. Was first diagnosed with clinical depression in 1997. I was 42 yrs. old. Mostly mild through the years. In 2020 my physical and mental health became a real challenge. Living alone and isolated. Have been single always. Always lived alone. I am an artist.

I was diagnosed with postnatal depression when my daughter was about 2 months old which developed into clinical depression after she was forcibly adopted when she was between 6 months old and 8 months old. She's 22 years old now and I'm 42 years old now.

My mother suffered with clinical depression and I believe bipolar. I’ve been to therapy on and off, so I am sure I suffer with some type of depression. I’ve been able to work my way through it and keep moving, but the older I get the harder it gets.

Currently in latter stages of clinical trial for depression in Parkinson's at University, California, San Francisco (UCSF). Trial has been extremely beneficial. After trial is complete I want to look into B1 therapy. Does anyone have any experience in this area?

This has not been a very good day for me. Lately, there's been a certain situation that's been leaving me frustrated and discouraged. I don't know what went wrong. I tried to be as helpful and supportive that I possibly could, but it seems like it's just never enough. Now, it seems that I'm being isolated

found lots of support and brilliant advice, have been able to find and share strategic tips and tricks to beat the gremlins - and even some funky shoe porn 😜 However, and this is where my vanity makes its appearance, not having followed the plan exactly (twisted ankles, COVID, bouts of anxiety and depression

When did you start experiencing anxiety or depression?What triggered it? Do you think it ever goes away completely? What are those things you were doing before that you find difficult to do now? How do you cope?

I am wondering if what I am experiencing is postpartum depression? The first 12 weeks after having my daughter, I found I had a lot of anxiety and a feeling overwhelm with the baby. I also have a 3 year old, who had just turned 3, so his main communication style was tantrums.

This causes me to blame myself for any type of conflict and causes me to be hard on myself and In my head I remind myself to Get over it and that I dont have depression. I truly belive that I need to grow up and the world doesnot belive that I am depressed.

I have generalized anxiety and severe depression. I know the things I should be doing to help ease my anxiety, but I'm lacking motivation to do it. I am on prescription meds and seeing a Psychiatrist.

Hi, my 13 year old daughter is struggling with depression and severe anxiety about going to school. She's missed well over the number of days school allows a year for absences. She's been experiencing some bullying,being made fun of, etc and is severely self conscious about tbe way she looks.

Last year, I was diagnosed with depression. I can tell that my boyfriend was really upset and he blamed himself. But he said that he was willing to support me. But then, he reached the point where he couldn’t handle me anymore. He said he was tired of hearing me crying every night.

Trying my best to keep myself up and not fall deeper into depression

I've struggled with depression and anxiety most of my life. I have managed relatively well for many years. But the last couple of years brought new challenges; many new, unexpected challenges, and I've found myself at a dead end. I don't have any family, no close friends and work from home.

I have been going thru one of my episodes, as I call them, with anxiety and depression for the past 4 days. Today was going good then out of the blue after I had some dinner I broke down crying. It was only for a minute but I don't know why this happens. Does anyone else go thru this?
