Newbie with depression, anxiety, hydrocephalus and epilepsy

Hi, I am a 22 year old from Australia and as you can see from my title I have mutiple problems. I am looking to speak to anyone with any of these issues. See my other post on this forum for details on my hydrocephalus and shunt.

Hope to hear from some of you guys soon!:)

I am also in Australia, a bit older and have hydrocephalus, epilepsy, depression and sleep apnoea. I hope you are getting good treatment (both medically and otherwise). I have found people tend to be more understanding of physical problems than mental ones.
best wishes

I think that in general you're probably right about that, Ron, although I have friends with "whole body" problems (e.g., MS) who would argue bigtime about that!

Here are some links (same as above, so you may have gone there already):
Epilepsy forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum11.html
Hydrocephalus forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum14.html
Depression forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum37.html
Sleep Apnea: I'm drawing a blank. Someone else will be along. Brighter & wiser!! :D

Hang out, ask questions, start a thread--spend the weekend or settle in for the long haul. Let us know what we can do, how you're doing, & of course how you're feeling about how you're doing/not doing.

And if you've hit one of those times when you just don't think you can do it anymore....

I guess most of us have been there too & can relate, for what that's worth. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, coffee cup, & the bumper sticker. :wink:

Thanks Ron, yeah I have found that to a degree, although the hydrocephalus can be a tough one as you wouldn't know i had it just by looking at me and people dont seem to understand it when i suddenly get sick for no apparent reason.
