You aren't alone by far! I have had depression for at least 2 years but only got treatment for it last fall. At times I honestly feel like I am losing my mind. I recently started accupuncture for back pain, and depression. Since meds haven't worked for you accupuncture might be a good alternative. Feel free to pm me if you want to talk!

Yes, i think i need lots of hugs Melissa lol !!
Accupuncture i need to research a little on that ive heard of it though. Can you tell me a little about it? Im willing to try anything that could help me overcome this .
Joni thanks for the compliment about my son , Sometimes i think to myself how could you love someone soooo much! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
i would be on medication but my mom is against it she says ill get addicted or get worse and it has happened to me before . They even prescribed me sleeping pills once because i couldnt sleep at night , and then i was tired all day from staying up.
After i started taking sleeping pills i couldnt go to sleep without them so yea they are addicting. My mom saw what they were doing to me and took them from me .
That night was crazy i couldnt get to sleep without my pills .
Thats why i stay away from depression and anxiety medications as well as sleeping aids.
It really does help to talking to all of you , it helps alot . Thankyou everyone if i could i would give you all a hug <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">U have no idea how much this is helping me !

hey vanessa, i'm new on here but i saw your post and wanted to let you know you're not alone and i'm here if you ever want to talk!. i'm 22 as well and was diagnosed with depression almost a year ago. i ended up leaving college last semester and was able to get on some meds, rest, and generally get my health back on track. obviously my situation is different because i'm not facing the same pressures you are with having a family and all but i do know how it feels to not really have anyone understand what your life is like. hang in there girl!
