    About Me

    Hi, my name is Melissa, I am a Christian but like a bad relationship, I struggle on-and-off with depression. I am usually all smiles and a very upbeat person but for the last year or so, everything suddenly seemed to require so much effort - even breathing! Anyway, I am here hoping to find people who can help...people who need help...really just anyone, I suppose. So if you find me online and would like a casual/random chat about anything, feel free to drop me a line - I would be more than happy to write back.

    • Close Abstinence & Celibacy

      I made a promise to myself that I would remain a virgin until married. I was about 12. I am now 20 and have tried to keep that promise. I admit it has been a challenge but I thank God for His grace & strength that keeps me.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression & was getting help from a counselor while I was at university for two years. I stopped getting help once I moved back home because according to my mom, I was being ridiculous and it was nothing more than "a little home-sickness."

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Not Working
      It is a little difficult to do when everyone at home is ALWAYS angry, cold and disrespectful towards each other...still, I try when I can.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      I took it for a while and I thought it was helping but my mom wanted me taken off them.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      It helps if you have an patient and very understanding counselor who really is about helping you to recover.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
