Hi everybody, I’m new to this forum. I’ve been lurking around for 4 weeks and finally took the plunge. I’m new to Kava but I think I want to see if it can help me. You see, I’m clinically depressed. My story is simple, I had a good home, good parents, friends, and family. I went to college and graduated. I lost my girlfriend and got into a bit of a funk. “Aw, it’ll go way they all said” and that’s what I believed. Well it never went away and now I’m on very strong meds to control the depression. I used to wake up every day and ask myself, “How can this be happening to me?” But I have learned long ago that this is not constructive and I just have to deal with it. Looking forward to being part of this forum, it looks like a lot of fun.
Hi folks, Deleted User01 here. HappyBaby is not a new forum member ... yet. Perhaps he will post in a year or two. I made up this post. He is a child in his mid 20s whom I know and love dearly. He grew up with my child. We were a group of parents who coached them in athletics (though they kinda sucked at it), we threw parties for then, we were very active in every facet of their life. HappyBaby had a “wondrous” childhood and yet here he is today. He was a "happy baby" with a grin that stretched from ear to ear but now he suffers.
I would like to apologize for previous posts where I inferred that I wanted to strangle every Parent who had a child with this problem. I was wrong. It would seem that Depression is something you inherit at birth. A demon who lays latent in your body and soul until something triggers it. Once it is unleashed, it digs its claws into you and never lets go. You are basically stuck with it for life and you must learn to "manage it" over the course of your life. Oh yeah, a bad family life can trigger it but so can half a dozen other things. At least that is my belief. I have learned a lot from the members of this forum and it appears that I'm still learning.
