Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed about 9 months ago. It was one specific event that lead to my diagnosis, but now I'm starting to see that I have had symptoms of depression for quite a long time. That one event has lead to a lot of other problems, but I am trying these lifeworks courses out now just to see.
It hasn't been easy. Being in a secluded, rural location makes it too easy to fall into a depressive mood. It's easy for other people to say just get out there and try new things. It is very hard though when your stuck at home, miles and miles away from the nearest signs of life.
The little bits of living I do get to do seem to help. My mood does improve, but those are pretty short lived and not near often enough. I am on a wait list for a local rehab, but that is a 3 to 6 month wait. In the mean time I have time booked with a therapist, but even that will be a three week wait for an opening, and then hopefully they agree to take me on for weekly appointments.
I'm hoping those things will help with my problems, as i dont feel like i know who i am anymore, what i want to do with my life and what i can do with my life.
