Am I the worst here?

[Fly2Freedom]

Hi Im new here.
It looks great.
I have read through some of the posts and the majority of you seem :normal: to me.
I hope someone understands my pain.
I was 14 when I had my 1st panic attack.
I was 17 when diagnosed with depression.
I was 18 when I took my first overdose (there have been a few):(
Last attempt last year.
I have depression/anxiety/o.c.d/agoraphobia/social phobia/insomnia/stress/S.A.D/self harm for a few years.

Cant work or drive because of this.
The doctors tried all the pills with me and the clinic I was with for many years has given up on me.
It seems genetic plus a reaction to a very hard life in general.
A double whammy.
I feel dead and tired.
Im also sick of people saying but you look ok.

Nice to meet you all and I hope we all can be free of our troubles.
Lots of love.

Hi and thanks xx[:X]
I have tried most of the anti depressants that are old and new.
Beta blockers.
Diazepam.
Counselling.
Positive thinking.
Herbs.
Accupuncture.
St Johns wort.
EFT and even praying.
My bored therapists said going to hospital wouldnt make any difference as I would only be given anti depressants.
I know of many groups but wont go because of my phobias[even though I know everyone is same as me}
[Sigh...]
Love x Fly x

Hi Fly,
Boy did you come to the right place. I recently had a major meltdown and have been on meds now for 12 days. i just happened upon this site somehow and decided to try it out. The people here are wonderful. You will sense a true caring for one another in the posts and on the chat line. We have all suffered from some form of mental anguish and many still are, or i should say most still are, but with the help of one to another we are making it. one day at a time. The thing i find most refreshing about this site is the way we approach our problems with humor. Being able to laugh at one's self is the first step in not taking this darn life so serious. We are just itty bitty humans in a ginormous universe.
Keep your head up Fly and laugh a little, not make that laugh a lot. it is the best medicine in the world.
Take care,
Sheryl[:O][OK]
