Hello! My name is Tom.
« on: November 03, 2011, 06:04:40 PM »
My name is Tom and I live in Syracuse, New York, USA. I am 56 years old and I had my first break down in 2002. I have been hospitalized 5 times and have had 3 electro-convulsive threatments. I am now on 4 different medications for depression and for the most part they are "working". I am going to work hard not to go to the hospital this winter, which is when I usally go. I am challanged by the sundown affect, (my mood takes a free fall when the sun goes down), and seasonal affect, (my depression gets really going during the long winter months).

Anyway, it is good to have a place to vent and know that people know what I am talking about.

Hi Tom and Welcome!

I don't post as often as I should as I've got quite involved with my church which does help with my depression.  I suffer with severe depression so some times of the year more than others.
