Welcome everyone!

Heaven11 - I am sorry to read you have had a relapse in your Depression symptoms. Relapses are quit common so please try not to be too disappointed. They point to areas where we can gain more learning. I am glad you were so quick to get resources to help yourself. What do you think may have contributed to the depression coming back? What did you learn last time you recovered that may help you now?

I was diagnosed with mild to moderate anxiety/depression a few years ago. I saw a psychiatrist, was prescribed medication, took a couple of courses offered through my local health authorities mental health unit and made several changes to my lifestyle. I have been off medication since last summer. Unfortunately my symptoms have started to reappear over the last couple of months. Anyways, I went to the doctor’s today and have been prescribed new medication. It should take 3 to 4 weeks to see the full effects.

I want to use as many tools as are available to me to cope, which is why I'm here. I dislike relying on prescriptions to function normally and want to learn as much as I can to reduce my dependency.

I'm single, active and live a good life. Unfortunately my brain doesn't agree all the time.

I don't know if there is a correct way to introduce yourself.

I just signed up today for this program, so I am also new.

Very sorry for the loss of your child. I think that it is good that you are taking this step, are you able to involve your wife (if she is ready for it?)

It's hard when you can't help your partner, feelings aren't fixable though, we have to struggle through them. You would be surprised how much the little things can help without you even realizing it. She may have a completely different idea of what "help" means to her as well.

Well, welcome and hello!

Hello everybody, I am new here and thought I would introduce myself.

I have been suffering from depression for what I will say most of my life now that I look back and think on it but have been diagnosed about 4 years ago. I had a really stressful job, my wife had a stressful job. I have been on and off medication a few times. My wife and I have recently suffered a miscarrige and now I have gone back into my funk. I look back and have found my self irritable and angry a lot of the time. Since the miscarrige it has been extremely difficult as she has fallen into a post-partum depression but doesn't think she has and has been very distant from me and wants nothing to do with me. I found this group hoping to vent out my frustrations and ask for helpful ways to deal with my depression. I can't think straight or focus on much these last few weeks. I hate to see her suffer and she won't let me help which just spirals me down further and further.

I am not sure if this is the correct way to introduce myself or not.
