    About Me

    I have a husband, daughter and two dogs. My husband is retired and my daughter is married, no childred, and I am not patiently waiting. I live in upstate New York in the country on 17 acres of land. I have been depressed on and off for the last 15 years. I also have anxiety and stress. I recently took a job as an administrative assistant for an executive college recruiter and am loving it.

    Interests

    Ilike to ski, kayak, bike and swim. I try to get to the gym and exercise at least 3 times a week. My real passion in life are animals, especially dogs. I volunteer at a local animal shelter and that always helps me with my depression. My dream is to win the lottery and start an animal sanctuary for unwanted and abused animals.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been depressed on and off for about 12 years. I have been on and off of anti-depressants during this time. They would work for a while, but I just don't like the side effects, especially the weight gain. I feel that If I can solve some of my issues that it would take away a good part of the depression.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      It did work, but I stopped taking it recently because of the weight gain
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I don't feel that it really worked. I wanted suggestions on how to solve certain issues and all I got was prescriptions.
