every since I was about 5 years old, I have been deeply depressed and am now 45. in the mid 60's depression was not recognized like it is today, my story is this, I have had 4 head injuries my whole life so far and the first one was when I was still an infant ( so I am told) the second one was when I was 11yrs and fell off a fast moving vehicle only to smack my head on the pavement and was knocked out for a few minutes, the 3rd head injury was an individual hitting me in the back of my head with a closed fist from behind me, and the forth one was just about 4 years ago, some one thought it would be funny to pull a chair out from behind me and I was injured. I am currently undergoing tests and trials of drugs that I am against taking for the sake of they are drugs. I struggle with it personally, also am in deniel of now being diagnosed with BI-POLOR dissorder.

I just wanted to share this piece of me with who ever might read this and could possibly give me some possitive insight so that I can bettere understand what the @#$ is going on and to may be even deal with it ( understand I do not ), in the mean time am also going threw pre mantalpausal.

Just feel like no light at the end and if therer is might it be a freight train?

Don't understand the Ni-Polar but you say that you had four head injuried, I have had four head injuries. You are being treated for Bi-Polar and I am being treated fot Major Depression. They suggested that I be testing for Bi-Polar. What is Bi-Polar? How does it affect and what meds? I'm sorry to jump in on your post but I am hoping to get answers for both of us by doing this. Somebody got a gameplan?

You have gone through so much in your life...you must have a tremendous inner strength to survive so much.

 

You mentioned having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.  Just wanted to let you know that Health Central also has a bipolar site with lots of information and support.   You can find that site right here.

 

Please do keep reaching out and sharing your experience.  We want to hear your story.
