I originally joined the COPD support group because my Mom has COPD. Then since I got so much wonderful support there, I should look into some groups for myself. As I was joining the stress management group, I realized I needed at least the depression group as well. Hey if nothing else, I am realizing just how f'ed up I am. LOL JK I have always known. he he I have battled depression for years off and on. Tried a million different drugs. I always end up back on Prozac, it seems to work the best. I also have xanax for those especially hard times but I rarely take them because they make me tired. Anyway, I have a VERY STRESSFUL job, and I care for my Mother and attend college online. Sometimes I get a little out of control over the pressure. I once ended up on a 3 month leave of absence because I was so down. Have I thought about suicide? Oh yes! Have I thought about how I would do it? Oh yes! HOWEVER, I really do not think I could do that to my Mom. Well I KNOW I could not do that to her. What scares me soooo much.... she is on the road to leaving us and when she passes...........................................     Post edited by: jodenhavasu, at: 09/07/2009 12:36 PM Jode

"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."
