Hi this is all new 2 me posting a thread, or msg thingy, so here goes hope it works... i came across this site a couple of months ago whilst i was looking up some medication and looking 4 chat rooms on mental health. I usually come on about once a week and read thru the new postings, a little about me cos am now waffling which is a habit of mine...lol..i am a 40 yr young female, i have suffered with depression 4 about 20 yrs now, about 10 yrs ago i had a nervous breakdown which was diagnosed as been caused as emotional cos at time was having marital probs, i since then divorced a few yrs later....But i have since over the yrs had a few more episodes and have been seeing a physciatrist,she has been treating me 4 bi polar so i am on an anti deperessent and also take depakote...but in general my mood is always low its only on odd occasions at most twice in a yr that i experience high moods what are associated with bi polar and these have been triggered by very stressful situations... i am beginning to wonder if i am really bi polar, because most ppl i know of who suffer it seem to get a lot of highs.. i just wish i could get away from my depressive moods, they make me feel like everyday of life is a chore to get through, i have told her about this and she has tried me on various antidepressents at the moment i take reboxetine 8mg daily, but i still dont feel i am getting any pleasure from life....please anyone any suggesstions.....many thanks
