Eventually, with advice, support, direction and encouragement from a diverse bunch of genuine people, I began to heal and was able to put myself together as one unified whole.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I am sorry that you are in such a state right now. Keep on those doctors. Make sure they understand you are deeply depressed and need some type of adjustment. Remember also that med adjustments take time to work.

I hope you feel better soon and if posting helps keep at it. We're here to listen. Many of us have been so deeply clinically depressed as you are now. You are not alone here.

Also, please check your messages.
