taysmom1016 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Welcome!We seem to have a few things in common, I'm 46 and a mom of an 11-year-old boy who is my life. I also have been battling depression on and off for years but it kicked in again about a year ago after a brief hospitalization for stomach problems. My pdoc seems to think that I, too, have PTSD due to a near-fatal case of Legionnaire's and a 5 day coma in 2008 and that my hospitalization last year could have triggered the memories and depression and anxiety. Now if I could just figure out how to UN-trigger it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taysmom1016 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hi, welcome back! Hope all is going well with you and your brood! Still have good days and bad days here, but I'd say I'm feeling better than I was this time last year...more productive and energetic, I think. Trying home improvement as a distraction so I'll be busy all winter if I actually try to paint every room in my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
