Well I’m new here. I was invited to come here by a new friend of mine.This is a pretty cool website!!! So of course I signed up here. I’ll tell you more about my depression. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Manic Depression along with Schitzo Affective Disorder at the age of 16 year old. Bipolar Depression runs in my family genes and it is from my mom’s side of the family. My mom’s mom was depressed when they had no medications to help you deal with your depression. And she jumped off of a cliff when my mom was in her 20’s and died. My mom has Bipolar Depression and it has been hard for her growing up in her adult years with no mom. My mom is my best friend. She’s been through everything with me. It has taken me over 60 different medications to get me stablized. I have been in and out of mental hospital throughout all of my life,until the age of 24. Doctors told my parents that I would never live a normal life and boy did God prove them wrong. I don’t work because
of the Depression Disorder. I have had ECT done and it helped for some time. But now I have short term memory loss because of the ECT. I’ve been doing pretty good lately. So that’s me for now. Sure I have my bad days, but I also have my good days. I thank God for my Disorder, because if anything it has brought me to an even closer and deeper understanding of God and how he can work all things out for the good of those who love Him.
“We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His Purpose” (Romans 8:28).
