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)

A little about me: I've been diagnosed with BP for 10 years now. Right now, I am doing worse than I ever have since I became sick.

I have tried everything to get better--over 20 meds (and who knows how many combinations), in-patient programs, out-patient programs, hospital stays, therapy, and several rounds of shocks.

I don't know what to do; I am 28 and my life has been consumed by this illness.
