Just wondering if there is anybody else out there who is fighting depression or is living with someone who is.


I'm currently fighting depression... when I say fighting I really mean fighting in the sense that it's an emotional battlefield with depression. Suicide is thought about everyday and though I don't consider myself a cutter anymore, I still cut at least twice a year for random stressors.

I take medication for my depression: Effexor XR and Abilify (though I swear Abilify is some type of placebo because it does little to nothing when it really needs to matters).

I used to slit my wrists everyday when I was in high school, but not anymore.

I still think about committing suicide everyday. My psychiatrist is aware of this but assures me that medication and therapy will help that go away along with time.


Who else out there is suffering? What're your experiences/advice?
