    I've been trying, but adjusting seems endless...

    I've been absent from the forum for a while, just got into a depression because of multiple things going on and kind of closed off as much as I could to the outside world.

    New Obsessions

    Has anyone else experienced this? For some reason I have started obsessing about two things. The first is a compulsion to clean my ears and the second is a compulsion to pick, dig, or rub my fingers together. My doctor thinks it is a habit I have developed to deal with my anxiety and panic...

    Depression medication

    I am beginning to wonder if I should get medication for depression. I have been pretty seriously depressed for at least two years.....really it is four, but I could call it "Grief" for the first two years, to be accurate.
