The short version of my story

What I thought this section was for I guess is wrong. I am diagnosed with severe Major Depressive Disorder with Psycotic features, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. Right now I take Effexor, Wellbutrin, Remeron, Lithium and Temazapam. I deal with high levels of paranoia and will self harm when everything becomes to much. I had a rough childhood with every type of abuse possible by multiple parties. All of stresses, emotion, feelings and whatever I pushed down way inside. About five years ago my father died, my grandfather died, I graduated from college, moved to a new town, got married and started a stressfull career and I continued to push everything down and not deal with what was happening around me. I started to get sick a lot from stress and then my wife and I had a baby. About two years ago for whatever the reason my lid came off and everything came flying out. I spent two months in a mental hospital where they tried to get my meds regulated and I underwent ECT. I got out of the hospital and a few months later my wife left with our child. Its been about a year since that happen. My risk factor for suicide is way up there, I deal with suicidal ideations on a daily basis, it is a constant battle to get up to do anything. On a emotion basis I don't feel anything which ends up leading to self harm. I have tried therapy but for whatever the reason they are not equipped to deal with someone like me so I stopped looking. Right now the goal is to get to tomorrow. With depression especially severe depression you have to force yourself to do everything and if you don't the depression gets worse. I am 33 and I need to tell myself what to do like I am a child or else I will not do it. I have to tell myself to eat, to go to bed, to shower and to leave the house for part of me would never get out of the bed unless I was forced too. I am going on two years dealing with this outbreak if you will and to be honest not much has changed from the beginning. The pills make it possible to get out of bed and to fall asleep at night they are useless for everything else.

take care

Re: The short version of my story

as my nightmare continues...

I checked back into the hospital as I was in a world of hell, loss control over self harm and was just tired of it all. They try ECT agian but this time I stop breathing so that option is right gone, I came off of Wellbutrin, Remeron, Effexor within a ten day to week period to get ready for a new class of drug MAOI. I am also borderline which according to the doctor hinders any progress I make with the depression as my so called personality guards the gates too tightly. I want to get better and I need to get better but the system and my brain are making it very difficult. So now I am back home because I feel safer and hoping my anxiety rates will drop down as they were going through the roof. Now I am on a high dose of Seroquel a couple of times a day to slow down the voice in my head, my thought patterns and what have you until Nardil has a chance to jump in to make an effect. The nightmares are brutal, the flashbacks are intense and it seems everytime I turn around a new idea of suicide jumps into my head. Who the hell did I **** off in a past life to deserve this? It has to get better because I am way beyond as low as I can go. Everytime I think I am taking the right positive step it blows up in my face

Re: The short version of my story

TRG, I've been reading your posts during the past month (I just joined a month ago) on the depression site, but this is the first time I saw your two posts here (from Sept. and Nov.) and I feel like I understand you better now--or understand where you're coming from. I feel very similar ways too, and I know it's hard to deal with. I too am plagued with my thoughts. It's a terrible way to live. I am so sorry your wife left you and took your baby. That must have been devastating. I feel your pain. I'm glad this Board is here for us all. I haven't posted my depression story yet. Every time I try, I just can't. I'm afraid.

TRG first let me say what is going on with you should never have to happen to anyone on this earth, and I am so sorry you are going through this.
