Hi, I am new to this site

[terrilynn]

Hi, I have never been on a site like this before. I see my teenagers doing this and have always wondered what it is all about! Now, I will find out. I am a 49 year old woman who is depressed and wanting to reach out to others for advice and support. I have my good days and my bad days and hope to hear from some of you.

Hi Terrilynn
I'm new to this site too but I am all too familiar with depression. I have been depressed most of my life. I have my up and down periods and this is one of the worst down periods that I have experienced so far. I am 54 years old, I have 3 beautiful healthy daughters who all have their own familes and live all across the country so I don't see them very often. I'm in my second marriage to a wonderful man who doesn't understand depression but he has the patience of Job. I live in Alberta and I work full time, I don't know how I manage to get there every day but I do. While I'm there I guess work keeps my mind occupied.
What about you? Where are you from? Children? Husband? Work?
I came to this site because I have no friends that I wish to talk to this about, how about you? And my name for this site? That's exactly the way I feel.........hopeless.....I have tried everything and nothing works. I have only one option left and I have to discuss that with my doctor this week. I'm dreading that discussion.
