    • Close Depression

      Been depressed since as long as I can remember. Came from very dysfunctional family (father an alcoholic and child molester). Numerous other family members (maternal) have psychiatric disorder (bipolar). Now over 40 and need to try anything to make life easier. Also wonder if I am co dependent and/or bipolar. Regardless, the pain is to intense and I desperately want to change and enjoy life.

      Treatments

      Prozac Not Working
      Have been taking Prozac since my divorce (10 years ago). Wondering if I have built up a tolerance to it or if it is the wrong drug all together.
    • Close Codependency

      I am not sure where to start. My childhood was riddled with incest, physical and mental abuse. Raised by numerous foster homes and family members. Never seem to get along with people for long. Have been in therapy (long time ago) and the therapist(s) always thought it was everyone else. I am here to say it is not everyone else. It is me! I don't want to alienate everyone from me. I want to be normal. I know I have many issues but also know that I have a heart of gold.

      Treatments

      Prozac Not Working
      Have been on it for numerous years. Still having depression and co dependency issues.
    • Open Natural Disasters

      Katrina aftermath...cannot get over the lost of children, home, career, freinds, and now sanity (I am afraid so). Lonely in different town. Unfortunately got involved with someone to deal with my loneliness and fell very hard for him. Now not sure what to do or where to turn. Very very small community and everyone knows about our relationship. Don't want to stay in and hibernate. Also feel as though I am a failure for bailing out on friends, family and career.

      Treatments

      Prozac Not Working
      Sadly I have a history of depression and have been on Prozac for years. Recently MD increased my dosage from 20 to 40mg per day. Still not coping well and actually worse
