I suffer from depression, as I recall. My earliest childhood memories are infected by the looming presence of my illness despite growing up in a very loving home with loving parents and two species. After a divorce in my early thirties, I found myself unable to cope with feelings of sadness that permeates my life, and often let me get out of bed. Of course, these feelings reinforced by my divorce, but before I knew that something was wrong. I went to my doctor and a psychologist, who both asked me to see where my problems began. I explained that I was pretty sure they started the day I was born, both told me it was quite possible. Since then I have tried a variety of drugs. SSRIs, MAO inhibitors with, I tried so many medications that I sometimes felt like a pig Guinea. I finally found a medication that worked for me and produced very few significant side effects. Now I am enjoying life more than ever and I can honestly say that I am I never thought that I might.

Enjoy my life now is a bit bitter sweet as I look back on those years I spent in a depression without even knowing it was not natural. I knew something was different while watching the behavior of others and comparing myself, but I’ve always felt that my personality or “as I am” to be. I want to experience further episodes of prolonged sadness to encourage more about depression. There are several resources available on the web, and even your doctor can be very useful to help you determine if you suffer from depression. He or she may advise you to speak to a specialist.

Had I known that my problem has been corrected, I spent many years enjoying my life instead of wondering why everyone was in profit. Depression is treatable, and you can enjoy a happy and productive life.
