Stress Center Peer Support

Hey, I am new. 34yr. old mom of 3. I've been on and off of meds. since I was institutionalized at 15. My last child was born Feb. of 06' I've been struggling since she was about 4 mos old. I've seen 2 psychiatrists,done group therapy, been on several meds. One Dr. thought i was bipolar. I don't think so. Anyway, I am on 225 mg. of effexor xr now. I am in my right frame of mind, but extremelydepressed,sad,tired and anxiety most of the time. I am so discouraged. I have no friends, and I don't do anything but care for my family. Hopefully this will help. I can't keeep livin like this. My dad is on his way from Fl. because I am so bad. Is anyone in a similar situation who'd like 2 chat or offer advice?

Hey there! I also take 225 mg of effexor xr and also feel this is like a last chance for me. After listening to the first session, going all around the website, and chatting, I already feel like this program is a blessing. My parents are worried about me also because I too have gotten really bad. We need to support eachother and always know that we are not alone. There are so many people willing to talk and help. Try visiting the chat room.

thanks. It is hard to get online because of my 2 yr. old. I will when my dad gets here. And the ups man came at 3pm. with the program...just went thru intro. while the little one was napping. hope to do more tonight if possible. Thank you.
