Greetings to you all....
I have been reading the site and been signed up for a while but in truth been too lazy to write :)
I am 44 with a Depressive Personality Disorder, it has destroyed any chance of me leading anything close to a normal life due to my anger/aggression, despite having relationships with a few super people in the past they proved impossible due to my condition. I have suffered with depression and anxiety for over 20 years
I am currently on ESA, have very few friends and no social life, I feel as if my life is over with nothing to look forward to in truth.
I have had little support in the past from doctors and have had to fight for counseling, psychiatrist etc but now am starting to get some help at long last.
I have been on so many meds over the years, I am currently on Lustral 100mg but have been told to go to 150mg, I did recently try and come off 50mg and entered a very dark period due to this, was crying and emotional and playing over past relationships in my mind 24 hours a day, was awful, now I am back on Lustral and feel a bit better and have handled some setbacks recently like major problem with car and stuff relatively calmly which I never used to do.
I really hope I am over the worst, things never seem to be easy and I am really envious of people without serious mental issues such as myself, it must be great to socialise and meet people and talk about everyday things and drive a car without a panic or aggressive episode every time!!!
God bless all on the site and I hope 2012 will be a better year for all of us :yesyes:
