2. Seek care or wait?

   RN-2006 replied to Shadelyn's topic in General Students

   Hang in there! I've been on an antidepressant for almost 2 years now and although it is currently therapeutic for my depression, it did take about 4 - 6 weeks in the beginning to really start working. Don't lose hope. It will help. Good luck!

   RN-2006 replied to o27pink's topic in Connecticut

    RN-2006 replied to carpe_de_em's topic in Stress 101

    Much to my disgust I received the above post from you today. I shared a personal story with others in hopes that it would help them deal with their own struggles with depression. What you wrote to me didn't even pertain to what I had posted. I believ...

    RN-2006 replied to carpe_de_em's topic in Stress 101

    ...thank you for sharing your story and let me start by saying I completely agree with your sentiments that unless you've suffered with true depression (I'm not talking about occasional blues), then you cannot possibly understand what sort of hell th...
