Depression Understood Forums

So that's where I'm at today. I feel a lot stronger, feel like I have a grip on the depression, and am able to express my feelings in (I hope) in a healthy way. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

No one ever wrote back. It can take a long time to hear back if ever about certain topics. So venting a little. I'm not sure what's going on. All I know is that this all started after I came back from being on a very short term disability leave. Trying to stay positive even though it seems like ther...

Long story shortish-- was treated again with a low risk antidepressant, and am doing so much better and within a week's time. I am not a confrontational person at all.

So my morale started dropping. I've been getting such positive feedback from the community, that the response I was getting from a distance was all negative. No boring anyone with the details, but salaried, if I worked overtime and on weekends, nothing was acknowledged. If I asked if I could leave a...

Since I've come back, my supervisor has asked me to document what I'm doing hour by hour which she couched in the frame of "We really just want to make sure you're okay and ready to get back in the saddle." Totally reasonable request. So I did. And in that time frame started two new progra...

I know to post quickly now! :) My worry was that since my doctor's didn't want me on antidpressants at all anymore, was that the depression would start slowly making its way back-- which it did. I kind of look at it like diabetes. I'm fine if I manage it. I have a Master's and a great job. And grate...

Hi Dave, Thanks for responding. I'm doing much better. I was put on an anti-depressant that has a low risk for seizures and it's working. It's an oldie with lots of research on it. I don't trust any newly developed medications of any kind anymore. And really don't care for medications at all anyway....

Hey to anyone out there. I had seizures due to a antidepressant and am struggling to get back on my feet. I wrote a longer post that was more detailed, but maybe I was timed out. It wouldn't post.
