Welcome to the group.

You will learn a lot from the depression forum. I would check out others too. What I have found is sometimes you can pick up good advice in forums that don't always pertain to your illnesses.

Also, I have never heard of that speech impairment. I did want to say though my sister has a bad speech impairment. She was born with it. She works at a Bally Health Spa. She has been able to overcome any problems with it. They never did diagnose her when she was young.

I tried to get her to try for disablitity when she was between jobs and now she has heart problems and still won't do it. She was treated like a baby also for along long time because of it by everyone but she finally got past that as I think you will. It just takes time.

It sounds like you are doing great too. I hope you hang around and enjoy everyone and you'll learn a lot.
