My story
Depression Support / by PurpleCherry8993

...See more I joined a few days ago because I'm having a really hard time. I'm really hoping this place helps. I've struggled with depression all my life. I've had various health issues since 2003. In May of 2016 I had a stroke caused by a blood clotting disorder. I was 35 at the time. I don't have a lot of issues from the stroke, mainly just weakness. March 2017 my dad was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of stomach cancer. He passed away September 13. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and few months ago as well. I'm just so lost. I don't know what to do. I'm in pain and exhausted all the time. I feel useless. Work has been extremely understanding but I feel guilty for missing so much work the past few months. I am medicated for all of my issues but that doesn't mean any of it is gone. I feel like I've been struggling my whole life and nothing will ever feel "normal" again.
