Just want to say Hi to everyone out there.
I'm glad to find a web sight like this for people with depression so we can find support. I recently talked w/my Dr. about depression, it was so difficult to do.
I live in California, in a high desert area. Married for almost 18 years and have 2 children, girls ages 15 & 11.

bye for now

Hi New 1

Glad you found us... some days its busy in here and others its like a ghost town.

I know what you mean about talking to your Dr. about depression. I think I balled for about an hour before she could understand what I was saying.... its a difficult thing to admit to yourself.. I mean I always knew it but thought naaah not me.

I have a little girl too, she's only a year. Yours are teens WOW...

I'm at work during the day so its hard for me to post like I'd like to....

Gotta run !

Love, Leenie

Hello and welcome. Many, many people have depression and it is just like any other illness. I hang out here a bit. I'm a wife of 23 years, a mother of two grown people and a grandma.

Glad you found us here! Keep in touch and let us get to know you. I have lots of ups and downs in life and sometimes it is just nice to know that I am not the only one!

I am married and have a 10 year old and 4 year old daughter. My son died 6 1/2 years ago when he was 2. Don't like to leave him out when I am speaking of my children. I work part time as a nurse and really enjoy it....my favorite place is in one of my kids hugs!

Have a great weekends and keep in touch!

Hi new1
Welcome to this site. I too have depression. I have gained over 100 lbs. since I have been on antidepressants. I am now on wellbutrin and I actually lost weight when I started taking it and it has alot less side effects than any other.
I have 3 daughters 18, 12, 15 they are at that really hard age. but I love them. Tell us a little bit about your goals. I think you will like it here.
