Hi to all- I am new to this community so I want to invite anyone to visit my profile and health conditions. If you want to share, please do.
My chronic major depression and fatique are the most affecting illnesses in my life since I do not respond to medication therapy. But I invite anyone to connect with me on any of the illnesses I listed as they do have a definate effect. I would like to know I'm here on this community for myself and (for others as well.)

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Just Want to Talk Support Group.

Hi, janisum. I've been depressed since I was 4. On meds of one form or another for 40 yrs. Haven't gotten any better really, but I'm high functioning. I've recently gotten worse and decided I can't take it anymore. So, next week I am giving ECT a try. I hope I'm making the right decision, but I feel if I am ever going to have a chance at happiness, I've got to give it a go.

Please let me know how the ECT's go. I had a round of them in 1999. I hope they help you and wishing you happiness

Jodi- You're not alone here! Are you on any medication for the anxiety? It can be such a detriment to the heart. I wsih you the best

Maybe you misunderstood my statement about the heart? I worded it wrong, perhaps. I was referring to our muscle, the heart. If stress or anxiety is a struggle, I strongly believe in medicating it. I'm sure you do too. Thanks for commenting, Jodi.

thanks, janisum. I'm not too facile negotiating blogs, but did ECT no work for you?
