Hello, @kaydas. Wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am terribly sorry to hear about all your losses and treatments that didn't work for you. I can only imagine that must be very difficult. I think you will find others who will share some of your sentiments and experiences here.
Just for fun, I thought you might like to meet some other Canadians on Connect, such as @wendysider, @billbees , @pcfromfm, @miro , @beahind, @daviseyes, @kspiel, @jeanner @gerryk, @gregorytremblay, @clawrence, @knightkris, @sheilajean, @jmbjar, @fransky, @megan123, and Connect's director, @colleenyoung.
Have you found any lifestyle changes that make a difference with your symptoms?
Hello and my warmest thank you for compassion, empathy and helping me find so many Canadians. Of course, I understand I am not alone who is in battle with depression and anxiety. All of us have his or her own way of coping and dealing with these monstrous which brought us together. It is my first time I am talking about my mental issues. I think it is very important to know different stories, different ways of fighting with the illness, about medicine, therapies... I unfortunately didn't get much from my caregivers- doctors. May be in different occasion if it is appropriate, I can tell my story. Thank you again Lisa Lucier. Wish you health Kaydas
