I've had despression most of my life. The big part of it stems from childhood trauma. Over the years, I've learned what drug works best for me, have a routine counselling appointments(about every 2 months,) try to stay active and healthy. These are all things I do to stay at a healthy mental base line.
Things can throw me off, if I miss my pill Effexor, I usually am grumpy the next couple days, feel extremely dizzy, and often feel nauseated. But all so I can feel emotionally stable.
I differently don't have it the worst. I try my best to keep level.

Thanks for reading.
