The Anxiety/Depression Thread.... Posted: 9/17/2005 9:33:27 AM | | well i have severe chronic depression and a severe sleep disorder and as of 5 years ago i was not on medication. i medicated with whatever i could get my hands on ,ie, booze,drugsor what ever else i could get my hands on i finally gave up, i was dead (literally)so after trying to fix my problem myself and ending up hanging from a tree. i spent some time in the hospital and started listening to the doctors (instead of trying to be one ) i take medication for both problems ,and after 5 years my depression is alittle more managable ,btwmy first suicide attempt was at 9 years old and my last one was 5 years ago i'm 40 years old. so medication is working for me,and all the support i got from the groups i went to and still attend on occation when i really need to. we are all different and need different things some need it and some do fine without it , me being the latter ,it all boils down to what you need for you . and pot only made me more parinoid as well. so i wish you the best on your journey keep an open mind and don't be afraid to try new things cause you never know they might work . you are not alone. take care | | | |
