PTSD/DEPRESSION
by: Cassandra on Mon, Sep 29 2008

Hi everyone, my name is Cassandra and I am living and dealing with Major Depression and PTSD. I have PTSD as a result of abuse throughout my childhood, from my drug addict mother. I also have Depression which resulted from the PTSD

I have been hospitalized twice, and I am now taking Prozac, which i recommend for anyone with these illnesses. I know how difficult life can be for a person having these illnesses, and I have even gotten overwhelmed to the point of attempting suicide.

I am a lot better now, after getting help. I want people to know that help is available, and I want everyone reading this to get help. There’s a reason you’re reading it, right? Go get the help. Life can be better.
