    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed as clinically depressed 7 years ago and have been on a couple of different ant-depressants since. I married young, and it didn't last long, it was a bad marriage. He was very controlling and manipulative. I was also diagnosed with endometriosis after suffering with crippling period pain etc from the age of 12/13. Finally had this diagnosis after 6 years of being in and out of hospital. I have had three suicide attempts, all overdoses.
