Sr. Dorcee, I now think you are a very courageous woman and I applaud you for openly sharing this. I am sure it will make a difference and be a source of encouragement to many, many people who have a mental health issue or have a loved one who is affected. God bless you.
Thank you Sr. Dorcee. I always hide my depression behind my smiles. It is so comforting to know that someone else understands that emotional pain can be more excruciating than physical pain. Thank you.
Sr. Dorcee, thank you for sharing this. I have had chronic depression since childhood. it is indeed a very painful struggle. i was on 2 antidepressants for over 25 years. They helped wonderfully for many years but I got off of them about a year and a half ago since they stopped working as well. That was a difficult transition but I found a type of psychotherapy called EMDR that has been very healing for me. Also some nutritional things have helped. I am doing quite well now and feel better than I ever have! Please contact me if you want to know more. God bless you!
