this is my story of depression

Chris, I am so sorry and sad that one so young as you have exactly the same feelings as I do----and I am 63 years old! I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was 27 years old, and throughout the years I have been on several anti depressants , including Tofranil, TofranilPM, Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, EffexorXR, and Cymbalta. I also took many kinds of pills over the past 35 years, looking for any thing to make me feel better.

Please don't do anything stupid or drastic in the next few days; Please contact your school counselor, youth pastor, or talk to a sympathetic teacher. or write more in this space so that we, your new family, can help you.

Hi Christopher,

Listen to what MoodyJudy said above. She has given you some excellent advice. New medications are coming out all the time. You are young. Who knows what advances will be made in the treatment of these illnesses in the next little while. It is really important that you talk to someone safe right now and we are here to talk if you need us.

I truly wish I could help you.  I haven't yet learned how to help myself.

You are not alone though. I am on Effexor right now and it has helped quite a bit.

I also went through many stages including rage.  Please just hang in there and we will

all try to get through this.
