Hello!! My name is Meredith. I am a homemaker; a full time mom though my son, Andrew celebrated #22 in April, and my daughter, Allie is graduating High School June 1, and off to college soon thereafter. Until the middle of last fall, I was a regular member of the Depression Support group. I completely missed the "changeover" to the new format and am finding my way....

I am soon to be an EMPTY-NESTER!!

I hope to make great friends here at B'Net, and hope I can help others who have been through similar experiences!

NO MATTER WHAT.........

NEVR NEVER LOSE HOPE!!!!

I had too many depressive episodes, to the point of falling into the blackness of solitude and complete silence.I was treated for depression, after I fell, new meds worked well. Then, for the first time 'mania' emerged!! That was when I was diagnosed bipolar/ OCD/ depression !!! Since emerging from that black silence, I have been doing GREAT on my meds!!!Feels wonderful to feel healthy!!!

I MUST add that I have truly enjoyed this site, the support, understanding and encouragement I receive from everyone!
