Experiences with

Clinical depression

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.

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.

I may need to come off HRT, have low thyroid and also am suffering from what is starting to feel like clinical depression (I just can’t seem to do anything these days, even the things I used to enjoy)…so it’s the constellation of health issues and their respective medications that all need consideration

I will write more tomorrow and share some of my journey through clinical depression and where I am now. Blessings to all~Irisheyes63

Our son's birthday was yesterday and he is 23 years old now. Wow. 23 years since I got PP, and survived it. It feels like yesterday and 100 years ago at the same time. Here are some stats on what's happened in the last 23 years, if anyone is interested. I became depressed within several weeks of

Hello everyone, so my body has been in augmentation and I was advised to stop taking Roprinirole for a month for my body to reset. I have had a rough 4 weeks with no meds at all.

So I had a long talk with one of my best friends and my husband tonight about my depression and what sparks it or sets it off really. I was actually asked if being in these forums makes my symptoms worsen due to me being empathetic to the point of feeling others pain. I love this group, always have loved

Hello. I just wanted to introduce myself, I guess. I had an appointment with a provider today and received a couple of diagnoses.
