I have suffered from depression since I was 16. After my son was born at 25, I went into a downward spiral. I was finally diagnosed with major depressive disorder. I stayed in bed all day and all night, unable to even care for my basic needs, let alone an infants. I tried many different antidepressants, none of which worked. Finally, after 3 years of trying, my doctor found a combination that worked. I now take Wellbutrin and Prozac. Sure I take a total of 6 pills a day, but I've never felt better. Within a month, I was getting up early, taking care of my home, my husband, my son, and most importantly myself. Before I could hardly make myself take a shower. I am so happy to finally be living!! If you are depressed, please get help. Do it for your family, your friends, and yourself.



thanks for responding, today is another bad day, when I woke up this morning I was determined to make this a new day and be strong, that lasted about 5 minutes. I have completely cut myself from the outside world, I suffer from panic attacks so severely that I won't even go to the mailbox, I can't seem to climb out of the black tunnel, I get really mad at myself for being like this but it is so overwhelming and I feel helpless, worthless and I don't know what to do. Over the years I have seen several Dr's have been on many different meds, sometimes I just want to go to sleep and never wake again. Did you ever feel like this, how do you handle day to day survival
