Hi All Made it to the doctor today. Will be switching over to Pristiq to see if that works better for me. No bird feeder but we do have a heated home for a feral cat we keep warm and fed out back....
Stay strong. Let us know of the meditation helps. I've never really tried it much. Nerd...
Thank you both! I am actually a gardener as well, mostly vegetables and some fruit. I do Sunflowers because my wife loves them! I don't have a proper back yard so I do most of the stuff in home made...

I don't know if I'm allowed to share links, but CNN did a neat article about the back to work blues January 4, 2016. It somehow helps to know that how I'm feeling is fairly common. Nerd...

Hi Rich I know the feeling. Often can't face doing anything and can't stand myself for not doing anything. With the freezing weather here, I think I've been out twice in 10 days. I find having a...
Thank you Karen. A forum etiquette question. Should I be using the daily check in thread? For little things like we uncluttered a bunch of one room today to see if it helps? Little steps, right? Nerd...

Hi I may be able to give you some hope. My wife was in the same condition but maybe a bit worse two years ago. She fought through ICU and recovery. She can remember fighting death everyday. Once out,...
