[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not getting my depression and anxiety treated sooner. But I can't really blame myself for that as it's part of the disease. I wish my parents had realized how depressed I was throughout middle and high school though.

Reading all of these makes me want to print this out and share it with my sones when they get to be teenagers. I love the honesty.[/quote]

Same here for the depression and anxiety.  I had insomnia at age 8.  It's a miracle I didn't commit suicide in high school (I tried and STILL never got counseling).  Once I started on SSRI's after college, I was like, OH, THIS is what it's supposed to feel like!  My brain was finally quiet.  [/quote]

OP here. The worst (aside from realizing how much of my life went missing due to this disease) is forgiving myself for how I've treated others while depressed and anxious. I've been a terrible employee, a snippy mom, an absent spouse. It's hard to let that go and I wish more than anything that I didn't have to live with that guilt.[/quote]

Thank you ladies for your honest discussion about depression. I have suspected that my teen daughter (aged 16) is suffering from depression, but have passed it off as "teenage angst". She says there is no issue, but there is. This is a true wake-up call. I've since called and scheduled for her to go in and speak with a therapist. [/quote]

No - thank you! I'm honored that my words touched you. Good luck with your daughter![/quote]
