I'm a 41 yr. old female who has suffered depression, anger, abuse, and need to control people since I was 5 or 6. I can remember my Mom being depressed and sleeping until 12 noon when I was only 3 years old.

There is another post above called "There is hope!"Read it and never give up trying to find something which works for you. Be strong. Right now write down all the good things about your life....particularly your son and keep this list somewhere. If you feel really bad you need to go to the list and look at your reasons for being here. ALso make a list of what you can do if you feel bad...a walk, watch a funny movie, phone a friend, go for a coffee somewhere, make a share post. Keep this list somewhere for when you are having a really bad day. Then make a final list with everything you will do to find wellness....ie. find another doctor/specialist, take a walk in the sun, do some stetching,, try new medications, talk to a counsellor, do a Cognitive Therapy course. There is a website called www.facingus ( not sure if its .org or .com) Its free and will help you with these ideas. Good luck and NEVER GIVE UP. R
