New highs and lower lows.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's important to remember that when we suffer a close loss, it can take a year or more to "recover" (if we ever do). Our fuses get short, our tempers flare....

Do you have someone who can stay with you? Do you have a support group? People to talk to when you're feeling like this? Can you get out and go for a walk to try and burn off some of this nervous energy that's filling you with anxiety?

JD,

Thinking of you now. I am sorry that today was a rough one.:( I do hope that today you will find some of the sadness lifted, and that you can do something like getting out/coping skills/exercise to help you to get back to a lighter place.

Keep talking with us, we care and understand. Let us know how you are doing later, okay?

Merrida- I have my family that I live with and you all. I do have a counselor I see 2 times a month so I am no where near alone. Thank you for the concern though.

JD,

Do you do the breathing treatment at home, or are you going in for a nebulizer type session at the doctor's?

Either way...I hope that it is successful and that you have some relief soon.

I imagine that this is extremely difficult to deal with both asthma and anxiety!

Sending healing thoughts your way today.;)

So sorry for your loss. I have recently been in a deep depression too so you are not alone.

Luckily my meds are starting to kick in. I have be on celexa a little over a month and just now starting to feel the benefits. Are you currently taking anything for your depression? How long have you been taking it? If you are feeling no affect from your meds you may want to discuss with your doctor about possibly increasing your dose or you have been on this med for a long time with a max dose and you are still realizing no benefit then you may want to consider changing your meds altogether. I actually had to change from paxil to celexa.

Sometimes I feel like a prisoner to my bed and all I want to do is sleep away my depression and anxiety. Someone told me to "move the muscles and the mind will follow". This has helped me so much. Make yourself get up and get on with your day and you find that this is easier than you think. You can do this!

If you are religious try to find comfort that your grandparent is in a better place and one glorious day, you will be reunited.

Stay strong and you can come through this! Stay on here as much as you can and find joy and comfort in the fact that you are among people who know how you feel and genuinely care for you!

God bless!
