Hi there, I am new. My name is Tuck, I am 57, spent most of my life dealing with depression ptsd and recently diagnosed borderline. Been on the antidepressant and trial and error rollercoaster with many up's and downs. Finally off of all meds by choice for a change to see how I do. I have started lamictal, and I feel great so far.. The black and white void is gone with what antidepressants usually do to me. Married 35 years, 5 sons all grown. Love photography, it's my sanity. Thanks for having me!
