    About Me

    Depression has plagued me all my life. I don't want to define myself by my depression. I'm a wife, mom, grandma, and a teacher. I'm smart, kind, loving, loyal, and hopeful. I used to be all kinds of good stuff before, but it's gone for now. I've tried many meds, but they don't work anymore. I will start ECT soon. Has anyone else done ECT? I hope it helps.

    Interests

    I'm not interested in much of anything anymore. A long, long time ago I used to be funny, creative, and outgoing. I used to sew, quilt, knit, crochet, read alot, do crossword puzzles, go places. I still hate to cook and clean, but I've always been like that. The depression took "who I used to be" away. I don't know where "me" went. I'd like to find her again.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I'm kind, loving, generous, loyal, and smart. I'm a wife, mom, grandma, and a teacher. I've had Chronic Clinical Depression all my life. I try not to define myself by my depression, but it's hard. A long time ago I could do so many good things, but I have little interest in anything now. Since the meds don't work anymore, I will start ECT soon. My last resort? Has anybody else done ECT?
