Smile How I feel

Good evening all. I am very new to this board and thought I would let my feelings out. I am a recovering depressed individual. I have been on Lexapro for about a year now and it has been a long hard road. Since I have been on these pills I am feeling a lot better then I was.
What happened to me to push me over the edge was 2 years ago I got this bump on my back that ended up becoming something that no doctors knew of. I got test done and everything came back that I was ok. Well that was not true because I was not ok. I went from this out going person who loved to be around people to a person that hid in her house and hated to be around anyone because they would see what happened to me. Since that first day of my issue I have got more issues with my skin that really upset me. I wanted to die! I hated to look at myself and I hated me completely. I finally came to a point in my life that I had to get help because things were not going the way I wished them to go. I was thinking about hurting myself and others. So I started taking Lexapro over a year ago and here I am. Yes I still have bad days. I can honestly say I have a lot of bad days, but they are not as bad as they was. I do not ever want to go back to the way I felt before taking medication.
I still have skin issues and I am hoping that they go away soon. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel so hopefully the sun will shine on me again.
If you have read this I hope that you can get out of this that sooner or later things will find there way back to normal. Everyone have a great life.
Enjoy living and remember that we are not created to fit in we are created to stand out. Make your mark and live your life!

Re: How I feel

I've been on lexapro for about 8 months now. It does make the days easier then before. It gives you some semblance of relaxation. You know you don't have to feel bad about your skin. If you have made it this far with depression then the skin problem should seem pretty small!
