Hi John, Not in Vegas. I can sympathise though. I didn't get a diagnosis until middle age. Sorry the last few days have been rough for you. I spend a lot of time with depression also. If you are reaching out because you need a local support group,you mightalso check the county's mental health main center. They will have some info for you. It's good that you're recognizing when depression hits. For most of my life I just accepted depression bc anti-d's just didn't work for me. Now I know I don't have to live like that all the time and neither do you. Sometimes a change in meds can really help. Anyway, thats my experience, but Im a work in progress. heather Post edited by: hedap, at: 05/23/2011 07:29 PM Post edited by: hedap, at: 05/23/2011 07:31 PM Savella 50 mg 2x daily

"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
