My name is Tim and I am a 28 year old male. 

I RECENTLY WENT THROUGH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS SCARRED ME VERY DEEPLY AND EMOTIONALLY. IT TRANSFORMED ME FROM A HAPPY, CHEERFUL PERSON INTO AN UNHAPPY, DEPRESSED, AND FEARFUL PERSON. IT HAS CHANGED MY WHOLE OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND I NOW HAVE COME TO THE REALIZATION HOW WE ARE SO VULNERABLE TO UNFORTUNATE EVENTS THAT WE NEVER WOULD HAVE DREAMED WOULD OCCUR. BASICALLY I HAD A MEDICAL CONDITION AND I TOOK THE ADVICE OF A DOCTOR TO UNDERGO SURGERY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS TYPE OF SURGERY HAD VERY DAMAGING CONSEQUENCES (THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS SURGERY!), IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT EVERYDAY AND MAJOR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS. I FELT THAT I HAVE LOST MY IDENTITY, MY SELF ESTEEM, AND MY ABILITY TO FIND HAPPINESS. I AM TRAPPED IN THIS CYCLE OF DEPRESSION WHERE BECAUSE MY PROBLEM IS PHYSICAL I CONSTANTLY GET REMINDED OF THE TRAUMA.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COPE WITH IT. I'VE BEEN TAKING FISH OILS FOR OMEGA-3, SAM-E, AND TRY TO EXERCISE REGULARLY.
I WILL TRY TO HELP ANYONE WHO WRITES TO ME. I AM NOT A COUNCELOR BUT I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON DEPRESSION AND HOPEFULLY I CAN PROVIDE SOME SUGGESTIONS.
