Hi everyone, this is my first time here so I am not sure about what I am supposed to say other than I suffer from depression and panic attacks and I am looking for someone to understand what this is like and to be able to feel like I am still me in here...and not what the meds proto-type person. Thanks for letting me join and I hope to be helped as well as to help.

Hello and welcome to Babble :-)
It can be hard to figure out how much one is unique and how much one is 'just like' other people with a diagnosis or whatever... Well... There are lots of people here so I hope you feel at home and this place helps you find yourself.
I have had depressive episodes... And generalised anxiety. And loads besides.... I'm still trying to figure out whats up with me... And people here have been a real help.
Just jump on in to any of the threads on any of the boards, or feel free to start one of your own.

Hi babyblue,
welcome, have you looked at some of the other boards too, like psycho-babble? it's more active. anyway, i have terrible anxiety, so i know about that. try the meds, and see how they work for you, a lot of times they need to be switched around and changed. good luck.
