Hiya Galalleni,

I just wanted to drop in to say hello and welcome to the forums!

Hello Galalleni,

Thank you for sharing your story with us. There are many people within this support group that share the same questions and concerns as you.  We are all a group of individuals who support each other.

If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests and worksheets.  Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program.  CBT is only effective when you do the homework. Worksheets help you track your homework exercises and CBT is a lot of work!

As you move through the Depression Program the worksheets will change as you change. Make sure you give yourself time to do the homework properly - you know your depression best so it's really up to you to decide how often you do your homework. Take your time when you do your homework, there is no rush!

Each session in the Depression Program is based on previous sessions, and if you track your mood with your Mood Tracker (and keep notes in the spaces provided) you'll see much improvement over the coming weeks.

At the beginning of each session we give you a Weekly Review, which allows you to see how far you've progressed. We save your Weekly Review results in your Session Diary, so you will see a collection of results, which are all based on what you write in your worksheets.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.

Pleas continue to strive forward and lean on us for support.

Faryal, Health Educator

hi galalleni,

THat was a round about way of getting to 25...

Welcome to the forum.

I am the local bipolar and currently stable thanks to being a guinna-pig on Topiramate with the usual Effexor and a bit of the Seroquil (i am hyper-reactive to the stuff 12.5mg and I am zombied for 2 days

. Which is good to break a mood swing or a nasty cycle.) .

ECT is not the same as it was in the time of Hemmingway, Like Chemiotherapie for cancer is nothing like it was when my Father singed up as a test subject many moons ago. He had Hodgkins disease. Have you read up on what the newer forms of ECT can provide you? the success rates? and the side effects? and how do those measure up to the status quo?

**but this is how I look at problems, and try to understand others situations. Not that I want to pressure you into anything and everything. Not at all. I need a whole bunch more information and I hope you will be kind enough to post a whole lot in the different forum so we can exchange some ideas.

So welcome

Howdy All,

I've been diagnosed with DSM IV 296.34 - Severe Depression, Recurrent, With Psychotic Features. I also have been diagnosed Social Phobic, 300.23, and PTSD, 309.81.

Had a pretty rough life so far, usually don't venture outside my room (live with parents, even though I'm wayyyy to old to). Tried CBT and failed on several occaisions - trying to get help any way I can. I've spent 10% of my life in psychiatric wards - two and a half years. My counselor is trying EMDR for my PTSD - it's been working to some extent- and on IPV for my depression (instead of CBT due to it's ineffectiveness). I have been proposed as a candidate for ECT - have had to refuse assertively on several occasions (Ernest Hemmingway commited suicide after getting ECT, and I'm not as strong as Hemmingway).

I have competing bouts of uncontrolable crying and sadness to dissociation and feeling very numb (machine like is the best way to describe it). I have anxiety attacks and frequently replay a traumatic event from my childhood in my head. I am currently on disability (in US) - and unable to work (tried college and ended up in psych ward after an attempt).

I am taking 800mg of Seroquel (Quetiapine, yes, 800mg, not 80mg), 60mg of Prozac (Fluoxetine), 60mg Cymbalta, 60mg of Remeron (Mirtazipine), 3mg of Prazosin for nightmares, 30mg of Temazepam (a benzo) for sleep (ambein, chloral hydrate, and other benzo's have been ineffective.

I'm also a member of the Suicide Forum (elsewhere on the web) - they have a solid privacy policy, and no personal information is shared (against the rules) - which has been another good resource for my depression.

Hope to hear and talk with y'all.
