MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

i feellll so gullible sometimes, seems women want to be my mother, must be my child like nature are teddy bear effect, or maybe it is the warped sense of humor, or the people in my head that want out.

Oh. That's too bad. Is it someone you're involved with? Or just a type of relationship that plays out in your life? If it's a current relationship perhaps you could bring it up with them.

I can relate to a degree. I am on disability, stay at home 90% of the time, And have a wonderful wife, through no fault of her on,all mine, has a hard time trusting my judgement by myself. She goes to my pdoc appts. with me, which I know is best for me, but it's kind of belittling that I have to have someone over my shoulder at all times. Although I have brought all of this on myself, it still makes it hard to deal with.I too have voices in my head, while medicated they are muffled though, when you said maybe the people in your head wanted out, where you referring to voices? If so it sounds like you may need to call your pdoc. I hope all gets better for you, the mothering feeling gets old sometimes, it's better than not caring at all though. Keep your head up!
You can show us the path to stability, it's on us to want to walk down the path and not veer off.
