About Me
Hi My name is Steve, I have suffered from Severe Clinical Depression for about the last 20 or so years so, only I didn't realize that there was a name to my type of depression as being "Clinical", as a long-lasting condition. I am a member of several Bereavement support groups, since I have lost a few loved ones in death, (Go to 'My Journal' for more info on this.) As a Jehovah's Witness, I am extremely well educated on the Bible, and all that it says regarding God's Will and purposes for mankind, and what happens after death, and the hope for the future. Feel free to contact me if you wanna chat, or if you're also interested in learning more, and also for knowing more about the real comfort that only the Bible can provide. Thanks for reading my profile.

Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionHad since High School...First started somewhat with abusive parents, and then the people, (in Santa Monica, Calif. where I lived off and on for many years) were very nasty, and generally disrespectful, therefore, after some hard years, Depression developed to where it's at now. Could Really use some serious positive help, rather than the opposite, which I feel I more frequently receive.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- Had therapy in the past, but not much of this type, which is what I need.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Good, but not strong enough for my symptoms.
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for awhile, but gave me a terrible rash as one of it's sided effects, so I switched...
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- Very good, but Thought I'd try something better, so I siwtched to Paxil.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Currently Working, and quite well.
- Prozac Not Working
- Didn't work...too weak.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Works too well...I have to cut the pill in half, too potent otherwise.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- My Wife is helpful, but since she also has this, my symptoms seem to clash with her symptoms. Can be difficult.
- Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
- Way too potent, Cut the pill into 1/4 portions to take...still very strong potency.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for while, but not strong enough for my symptoms.
Close Diabetes Type 2
I've been recently diagnosed with Type 2, but I know I've had diabetes for the last 7 years or so, without realizing what the symptoms were.
Treatments
- Glipizide Working / Worked
- Works very well.
Open Back Pain
Have Arthritis in my Mid and Lower back, in 2 places. But my 4 surgical operations didn't help matter much, which created back problems to begin with, then the Arthritis set in some years later.
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- Morphine Not Working
- This garbage is the same thing as Heroin, only Morphine is legal ,and Heroin is not. Took after surgery years ago...all it does is put you into a drugged up stupor, numb, and all groggy headed... does nothing for the pain.
- Naproxen Working / Worked
- Same as Aleve, only stronger. Not bad, Just more effective with food.
- Relaxation Working / Worked
- Stretching Working / Worked
Open Stress Management
Treatments
- Anger Management Too Soon to Tell
- Troubles at home, and out and about.... Isn't this what life is usually like anyways?
- Music Working / Worked
- Good ole Rock and Roll always helps to soothe my mind.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Have insomnia from time to time. So this does help.
Open ADHD / ADD
I have a moderate form of ADD, where I am forgetful, and moody, and along with Chronic Depression, I have a hard time remember details, and dealing with abuse, as well as other trials and tribulations.
Treatments
- Strattera Working / Worked
- A one time deal where I had free samples for awhile of this med, and it worked quite well.
- Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
- Took this for Depression, But if for ADD, I have no idea.
Open High Blood Pressure
Treatments
- Lasix Working / Worked
- Currently taking this med is good and at times has brought my blood pressure down but I suffer from high body temp wher I am always feeling warm even when air temp is usually considered fine or even slightly cool so I tend to have hot flashes and need of a fan running in the room all the time.
Open Arthritis
I have Osteo-Arthritis in my Back and Legs, and have terrible back problems quite frequently.
Treatments
- Glucosamine/Chondroitin Working / Worked
- This stuff work well, and esp. when I'm in pain.
- Naproxen Working / Worked
- Works well.
- Swimming Too Soon to Tell
- Love to swim, but can't tell the benefits yet.
- Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
Open Restless Legs Syndrome
Treatments
- Lexapro Not Working
- Works for Depression, but not for RLS.
- Paxil Not Working
- Works well for depression, but not for RLS.
- Mirapex Working / Worked
- This Med wrks Very well and at 1 mg. I have to cut the pill in half cuz the side effect of drowsiness is quite potent and will make you sleep longer than expected.
Open Sleep Apnea
Went for a sleep study when I found out I might have Apnea, and discovered that my occasion to stop breathing while sleeping was over 100 times. in a 4 to 5 hour period. How insane is that??
Treatments
- CPAP Working / Worked
- Works very well, only the discomfort of wearing the mask is the only problem, but when I'm sleepy enough, I hardly notice it.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a RelativeI've lost a dear friend back in Aug. '98 and then 3 of my grandparents over a short period of just 1 1/2 years. I have studied the Bible deeply, and So, If you need any understanding of What happens to us when we die, I have accurate detailed information on this subject.
Treatments

- Prayer Working / Worked
- Always works, Gid is always there to "supply the strength beyond what is normal, and not that of ourselves."
