Dear Mythoughts, It sounds like you have been really busy, which I think is probably a good thing, despite the allergic reactions to the spruce trees. I understand your feelings about your family...
Hi Gem, I'm late coming to your thread, but I'm so glad you are seeing improvements now. I have anxiety and depression, too....for many of us, it's two sides of the same coin, if you will. I really...
Hi Jamie, I am just catching up now, so forgive the late reply. I think it's great that you saw your lady, and that you handled the situation with the carer. I hope if you see each other this week...
Hi Nite-Rider, I'm glad you joined us, and I hope you will feel welcome to come back and share some more. You're right....it's tough for people who have never experienced depression to know how it...
Hi Akram, I'm sorry about the job. I hope something else comes up soon. I know it can be frustrating, but please don't give up hope. (((hugs))) It's really good that you are still doing well with the...
Hi Tess, I am wondering how you are doing today. I'm so glad you are seeing a DBT therapist. How was your day off? I hope the hydroxyzine helped you. Let us know how things are going when you get a...
Hi Aurora, I have been thinking about you a lot, and hope you are doing well. I have been away from the forum for the past week or so, due to an overload of work, but you've been in my thoughts and...
Hi Jamie, It sounds like you had a tough experience, and I'm sorry you had so much pain. From your later post, it sounds like you have managed to come through it and focus on the positive aspects of...
Hi Cvoor, Welcome to the depression forum. I think your question is a good one. I don't know what the research is on combining antidepressants and vitamins, but perhaps another member will have some...
Hi Dancer, Welcome to the forum. You can either write a post to someone on a topic thread that appeals to you, or you can start a thread of your own by clicking on the button "New Topic" which is...
Hi Erik, I know it is so hard sometimes to find true intimacy with another person…..whether it be in the form of true love, or a friendship with someone with whom you can share your innermost...
Hi Mythoughts, Karen emailed me to let me know that you posted. I haven’t been on the forum for about a week now, so I’m not up on all that’s new here. I have two part-time jobs (one from home, one...
Hi Tess, Sorry I haven't been around in a couple of days. I am glad you had Karen to talk to....she is a wonderful source of support. How are you feeling now? I hope things are getting better. Hang...
Dear Candice, I really hope you will see a doctor about the continued depression and fatigue, and especially the weight loss. 40 kgs (almost 90 lbs, for those of you not on metric) is a lot of weight...
Hi Hara, Please do take the transit if you feel it will help. Do whatever you need to do to make these appointments work for you. Let us know how it goes, okay? We're all here to support you....

Dear Frances, I am just catching up on your story after being away for a couple of days, but I am really encouraged to see how you are able to find the silver lining in this situation (re: wiping the...
Hi Rich, You are definitely sounding better. I am so glad for you! To read that you are getting your drive back, and that you are enjoying work again, is music to my ears (eyes?). I work from home...
Hi Jamie, I like to read at night....I find it relaxing, and it occupies my mind. I think a lot of us have a tough time at night, when the mind is active despite the body being tired. Sometimes I...
Thanks, Jamie. I am getting better every day....
Dear Aurora, I am glad your asthma is improving, albeit slowly. I’m sure being off the prednisone will take away that ‘climbing the walls’ feeling. I hope the improvements will continue for you. I...
Hi Tess, I know what you mean....I'm not really up to working tomorrow, either, but we have to do it to keep ourselves going. Try to get some sleep. I know it's hard when you are feeling down, but...
Hi Aurora, I know it must be so aggravating to be cooped up in the house. I’ve been going through the same thing, and I thought I would totally lose my mind, too. I love to garden like you do, and...

Wow, Kat, what an uplifting message! You sound really happy. :-) I'm glad the antidepressants are working so well, and also that you are planning to schedule a meeting with a counselor. That's...
Hi Mythoughts, I hope you saw my last post to you on your other thread, asking you to start a new one before it got locked down. I guess I got that message posted just in the nick of time. I like...
Hi Akram, I think your reasons for quitting and "staying quit" are really good. I hope you will consider them often and stay motivated. You are doing a wonderful job so far! As far as your CV and the...
Hi Jamie, Well, it is officially Friday in your neck of the woods, so I wanted to wish you well with your meeting today. I hope it goes well for you! I know it's been a tough road, but always...
