      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've been depressed as long as I can remember; I was born deformed; with no eardrums. They made artificial eardrums for me; it still was not the same. I was raped when I was 13. Life changed a lot after that.....................so much more to say...so little time and space

    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I was raped when I was thirteen and suffered from ptsd until the age of 29. It was awful, I'd have flashbacks and anxiety attacks. I believe I've recovered from it; but I want to show support. I have many other stressors in my life right now; and I am terribly depressed. as a result of the rape, I developed anorexia which grew into bulimia. My son and his life was the only reason I survived that. Tough times.
