My First Blog

Well, where do I begin? I am 39 year old female who has been fighting and suffering from depression and anxiety for 14 years. It is a constant struggle every day to get up and try to be a "normal" human being. I have been through countless medications and either they do not work or I cannot handle the side effects. My family suffers as well through my "good" days and bad days. Who does depression hurt? Everyone. My family sees it, but to see me in public or at my job you would have no clue how I struggle inside. I get so tired of fighting what I call the demons in my brain. I want my brain to be normal. Is that too much to ask for?

  1. You know me...

    My mother throughout my life told me i was depressed... even as early as junior high...

    but my marraige made me think i was... i even got a script on prozac, but that made me want to go nuts and a flushed em...

    what i realized as i grew up, my wife made me miserable, however, i will always be somewhat of a loner when it comes to time off.... but when in public, nobody would know that... i guess what i am really saying is i learn to except me for me and all is good now... of course i got rid of a major problem in my life!
