Ali, I'm new here and everything you said rings a bell. I thought I was the only one where a good day was getting dressed and out of bed.

Since my accident my depression (which I had already) worsened. I can't imagine not having my antidepressants. Also to those out there who may be suffering from depression, don't ever give up. I am lucky to have found a doctor who was willing to try different things with me as I had a depression that was resistant to medication. The medication Lamictal saved my life when I wasn't getting enough response from my antidepressant. Medication resistant depression is now called by many "type two bi-polar" I believe. It has nothing to do with the bipolar condition most of us know. It is a new classification where the medication that works on bi-polar also works on depression. It saved my life.

I'm here for you. Having an invisible disability is difficult. People often have no idea. I'm so glad I'm finally here.
