Hi all, I have been depressed for years with anxiety at times. First i was dignosed with SAD and only bothered me in the winter. Till this year big changes in my life and much of life knocking at my door. Has now turned me into major depressive disorder. Don't you just love labels. My anxiety is higher now and I feel very sad allot of the times and lonely but dont want to go out much. Big loss of interest in things i once loved. I am praying this program helps me. I am so ready to be well. I also have terrible migrains which lead me to the ER many times a month. I am sick of being treated like a drug seeker. I finally had my Dr from a headache clinic send out a letter to this hospital ER and i have a letter that i carry with me. My migrains have been the worst ever. I call them labor pains in my head. LOL Anyway. Just wanted to say Hi and would love to hear of some people that just started and how they feel they are doing.

Hi welcome to the site. I am also fairly new and it is a great support system. I have had this program for years and when I am having trouble with anxiety/depression I start working the program and I know it is very helpful. This time is probably the furthest I've gotten, but this program will definately help you with the thinking that gets us in this trouble in the first place. You will feel better. Do you take antidepressants? Also, what is the treatment for your migraines? I also suffer from migraines so I know your pain, although mine are not bad right now. Where are you in the program? Keep up the good work, we need to take first steps.

Hello and thanks for the reply Yes i am on medication and a bunch of it. cymbalta welburtrin klonipan for my migrains I am on fenaproben and hormone patch and some pills for 9 days not sure what they are its during the time of the month proble hormones and tramadol and if that all fails I get to go to ER and they give me nubain which is really strong stuff. i end up sleeping the next day too cause i am so tired from it. But for me sleep keeps me from having them. I just started on all this stuff found a headache specialist in omaha ne. My kids live there and I fly home once a month usally to see them. So its there way of dealing with it. they dont like to do narcotics they put you on some but the most you will get is tramadol. before this I was every narcotic and imtrix for years. I am not even on that anymore. But they do have you get that nubain shot and that is more powerful then morpheine or diladid Sorry about the spelling. I guess they can want me to have only certain drugs so that the drugs they are giving me wont be blocked. All new to me. So far at first it was bad didnt help but i am feeling better. at least I havent been in ER 7 times in a month this time.
