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)

Well I'm new to the site, and I'm hoping to mostly work out some things that seem to be holding me down. So, it's good to finally find a site like this, and I'm definitely looking forward to receiving and giving help if I can!

Hi Xadrian and welcome to our depression group. We are a warm, welcoming bunch, so feel free to post whatever and whenever.

I look forward to hearing your story when you're ready to post it. But you can post anything; it doesn't have to be your story - your choice.

Warm welcoming wishes,

Sylvia

'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL
'Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise.'
'Life is what's happening while we are busy making other plans.'

NOTE: I can't imagine anyone is surprised that distracted driving has overtaken drunk driving as the number one cause of death on the road. Please, y'all, keep your eyes sharp when you drive. The guy in the next car could be on a computer in the dash board (whoever dreamed that up should have to watch autopsies), while the one behind you is texting. It's important to be aware of those around you. The kid who ended my second to last life was in a huge SUV and on the telephone.

Hi Xaridan, Warm welcome to you. Glad you found us. We are a caring supportive group. I hope you will find it a place of understanding and comfort. Post whenever you feel ready. Hugs to you.

Welcome to you too Sunnyflower! Welcome hugs to you also, Rachele

Having the courage to walk step by step each day.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be on your back.
May the sun lie warm upon your face.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you
In the hollow of His hand.

Im loving memory of my mom, 2007: My hero, The Wind Beneath My Wings
