I'm 24, and I'm hard-pressed to think of times when I haven't been depressed. After trying to fight on my own for years, I am currently taking a multi-pronged approach to get this done with, because I'm sick of enduring life instead of living it. I'm getting better with food and exercise, taking meds for the first time, and am working through this program.
I just started this program on Saturday so we'll be learning about the resources here together. Currently, I'm working on Module 1's homework - the Mood and Activity Trackers. I like how the program is split into manageable pieces, so that accomplishing those also adds to my mini-victories throughout my day.
This is the first time I've joined a community around depression, and I'm glad you're here, too.
My name is Ladyintrouble and I am 45 years old. I have been fighting with depression for most of my life with having periods where I was free of it but knowing that if will be back. right now I am fighting a hard fight with it and have approached my health caregiver but nothing has come of that visit. I feel very alone with this fight and feel that the depression is winning and I'm going to lose everything if it wins.
