It’s quite obvious due to the lack of information and decorations on my page, that I am new to this site. I am also new to the idea of opening up to people and admitting that I am actually depressed. It’s not an easy task for me. Now that I’ve made the first step towards my recovery, I’d like to attempt to connect with people who have had to endure some of the same challenges as I have, in hopes of acquiring some more understand about depression and how to cope with it. I am a mother of an 11 month old, wife of a soldier who has just returned from war, a stay at home mommy/wife who’s worked all of her life and is having issues in that area well, and I am also severely depressed. I’ve suffered sexual trauma, father issues, broken family issues, ect. I don’t want my entire page to be dedicated to my pain, I’m trying to overcome it. What I am in search of are people of some of the same interest and back grounds as me who can relate to my trials, and I to theirs. I am, in no way, shape, or form, looking for anything romantic. I am a happily married woman so please do not add me if that’s your intention. I enjoy crafts, creative writing, and things of that nature. I’m always looking for other writers to bounce ideas off of and it takes my mind off the pain for a while. If you’re interested in getting to know me better, feel free to add me on here.

Mrsbohn,
Hi, I am new to the tribe, and wanted to connect with you as I read your comment. I am 61, and a grandma dealing with pain, social isolation and fdepression , and really am struggling to get out of this hole! I hate the way meds make me feel and I want to get rid of the depression. Having fear starting over. Just wanted you to know from a fellow Taurus, that I hear your pain, and understand family issues plus the isolation that you must feel keeping it a secret, and being a military wife with kids. All of these situations are stressors, that can contribute to your feelings. I used to journal and that was a useful tool to chart my progress. I want you to know that there are kindred spirits out here if you need a lift
Hi MrsBohn,
Just wanted to say nice to meet you and that as someone that writes from time to time as well, and someone that isn't very used to talking to people about "stuff" either, and somebody that's pretty new to the site, there's plenty of people out there who have this thing – and so far I am finding this a good place to meet some of them.
I like bouncing ideas off of people too, so if you ever wanted to message
feel free
