I think I had depression most of my childhood, and at 21 finally realized it and started medication and therapy (which has been off and on). I have been on so many medications, too many to name. Nothing has worked. At best, they keep me "hanging on". I don't have "happy" type mania, but sometimes I will stay awake for days, nervous, agitated. That's pretty rare though. Usually it's just getting through the day... the bad times are when I take sleeping pills because I know I'm suicidal and if I sleep for a few days it will go away. I can't work and I just started going to a class one day a week- pride is the only thing that has kept me going, cause I can't face everyone having failed. My husband is the only one who understands, and even he doesn't really get it. I just want something to work- it seems like everyone else finds their magic drug or therapy or combo- why not me? hi… im 27, married (female) no kids but I do have dogs and cats….
