I Think I Was Born Depressed

I had a great life. My dad was my best friend. Unfortunately my mom thought I was mistake. I found that out when I was five. And it affected me through my life.

Childhood trauma affects me today

I'm 53 now still affects me even though my mom and I talked about it. She's passed on, 25 years now. It still affects me. I try very hard to be there for my friends when they need somebody to listen to because I get it.

I have chronic health conditions. I am actually bedridden at the moment. I have a new doctor's appointment tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed on that one. I will be trying for disability. Been denied 70 not 70. Oh my goodness! Seven times so far, so we'll see what happens now that I can't walk.

Coping with depression and other chronic health conditions

I am on a lot of medications. Obviously. But I try to keep things on the natural side. I had a doctor who did not like prescribing anything from a pharmacy. I don't like taking pills as much as the next person, come on now.

I live to work and now I can't work so the depression is getting worse every second of everyday and I am very very stuck. Thanks for listening.
