New here...
Hi everyone... Even though I created my account years ago, I got courage to start using the app now.. I'm not used to communities, I'm not that active person... Anyway, I've suffering from depression and related things for a long time, I started with therapy sessions when I was 14 and first got medicated in the age of 15. Since then, it has been an 8 year journey with ups and downs, a lot of downs. Currently I'm taking 7 pills a day, tried several types of medication, different psychologists and psychiatrists, even though de depression is still here... I don't know what to say... I'm just lost and tired. I'm sorry.

It sounds like you have been going through a bit of a journey so far.
7 Cups has been a really helpful piece of mine, I hope it is for you, too.
Have you had a chance to check out some of the training guides out here for depression and things? They are really quality. I will shoot some links to those just in case. Also, if you are ever interested in group support, I will link the link to those as well as a schedule for some specific events that are held.
