Depression Understood Forums

P.S. I like the ending quote on your post.
It reminds me of something I often say: "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know."

Hi no-answer, Personally, I've found this site beneficial in the sense of being "heard," and that I can contribute to others seeking advice or someone to listen. To receive feedback from others who understand helps. I also find a sense of purpose and healing when I can help others. The onl...

Hi Hawthorne, My heart goes out to you. It's harder sometimes to be depressed and crying when we can't pinpoint the exact reason(s) why... You mentioned the big ups and downs you experienced. Have you been diagnosed with a type of depression in particular? Could this be caused by a chemical imbalanc...

P.S. I've been on a high dose of xanax for years. There's not enough time to safely taper from the dose I'm on. It would take a year or so to do this. Yes, it's very dangerous and can be fatal to even taper off too quickly. There was a time when I had decided to ween myself off of it. I went from ta...

Hi Hawthorne, I'm grateful that someone has finally answered! Thank you... Well, I decided against the 'flight.' Not a smart choice. Where I live, the jails will only give the meds for epilepsy, blood pressure, heart issues & such. Other than that they don't really care, according to my lawyer. ...

Thanks leris!

I'm sorry, but please clue me in on the meaning of INFP!

P.S. I also agree with what's been stated by others; Your husband married you because he fell in love with you on the inside and out. While remembering this, doll yourself up and have fun knocking his socks off!

Hi Bryanna, I can understand your view on things from the place you're at emotionally/psychologically. You've also received some good advice from those who've posted above me. :-) Forgiveness IS very important. A single grudge can snowball over time into a gigantuan, monster behemoth. Lol. :-) Clear...

Hi zombiemeth, Your story truly pulls at my heart strings. I wish I could cradle you in my arms until all of your wounds were healed. Obviously, this isn't the type of nurture you were raised with. And, I am sorry... It is true that our parents play a tremendous role in molding who we become. As chi...

I'm sorry. Truly, I know your pain. (have been there more than once)... The loss of a close bond can feel devastating, and with it's departure, it's as though a large piece of ourselves has gone away with it. It's hard to believe that we'll ever feel that same joy and security. And, it's difficult t...

Hi there,
And, a warm welcome!
Is there anything going on that you feel like talking about? Is it just the depression in general?

I'm curious because I was wondering if there's a way I (or someone else) might be able to help...

Hello intheprocess, Yes, with Abilify comes the high probability of weight gain. A number of months ago, this medication was prescribed to me. I was told that it could cause an increase in appetite because the brain would lack in the area that controls hunger. Although I cannot recall verbatim how t...

Where did the post go by the person who started the topic??
