I hope it helps the depression. I'm sick of ending up in the hospital! carol...
You would do yourself and your child well to let him go take care of himself. A person doesn't change unless it comes from within him/herself. Right now you need to think of what's best for you and...
jamie, that's too bad about the sprays. I hope there will be other options to help you sleep better. And for the depression. take care, carol...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000221/ I've not experienced taking it alone for depression (I take Abilify with Effexor for depression), but check out this website for some more info....
I just wanted to share my experience with sleep study in case it will help. I have major depressive disorder, severe, recurrent and have been complaining of fatigue. My psychiatrist recommended sleep...
Getting out to be around people is hard when you're depressed but I think it's worth the effort (speaking from experience). It's great that you got to the library. That's a good place to start. Maybe...
Good luck with your recovery, Tara. Like Karen says, take it one day at a time. "Put one foot on front of the other and soon you'll be walkin' out the door." (a song i remember from when i was a kid)...
Something I did that helped was to give my unborn child a name and write her a letter. I can't remember doing this but I found the letter recently and it really helped me to gain some closure. I'm...
Thanks for the update, karen. Theresa, i hope you can find something that works for you soon....
What you have written really struck a chord with me because I've experienced so much of the same things you are going through, one of which is difficulty in talking during therapy. I've been seeing...
I clicked submit before I had a chance to say....good luck with your procedure. Hang in there....
You certainly have a lot on your plate right now. Do you have any sort of relaxation techniques that you could try? I have a breathing exercise CD that I'd use. It's great because all you have to do...
I can't even tell you how many different meds I've been on in the past 2 years for my depression before finding one that works for me now (knock on wood!). It takes trial and error to find the right...
Hello G, I have the same problem of finding in hard to open up to people about what I'm feeling. It helps to write things down. You could copy what you've written in this post and take it with you...
Congratulations on your promotion :) If you find yourself crying a lot, maybe it's because you're due for an adjustment in meds? That is not to say that your job isn't stressful, but it could be a...
Even if the hallucinations are something that you can live with, I think you should tell your doctor about them. Even if you decide not to go on meds for them, she can keep an eye on how you're doing...
Oh, I never answered your other question about antidepressants .....the good news is that there are meds out there that can treat both your depression and the hallucinations. You just have to be open...
Your hallucinations sound awful to have to deal with. Having them is a sign of a real illness, not that you are "crazy".The sooner you tell your doctor about your them, the sooner she can help you....
I can't add anything to what the others have said about Zoloft. I was on it years ago and it worked for a while before I had to move on to another med. I will add, though , that your husband is very...
You could plan on doing something special for yourself when you get home from holiday to kind of ease back into reality. Something like going out to dinner, watching a favorite movie or a nice bubble...
