BUMP! Had a nice 4th of july, hopefully everyone else did too!!! Ate too much and some not so healthy stuff, but once in a while shouldn't hurt anything. Back on the good foods today! Lost another 2...
Laina, Welcome to HW, we are glad you decided to join us. Sorry you are having a rough time of things right now. Hopefully you can qualify for Hospice, that would hopefully take a little stress off...
Take as much time as you jamiee, focus on yourself and know that we are here for you if you need us....
When i started on wellbutrin i experienced the same thing, had a headache everyday, but stick with it, as with starting a new med increasing doseage can bring back side effects of the med. My...
We seriously need health care reform in this country, and i don't think obamacare is really going to fix anything. I just applied for additional life insurance for me and my wife after our baby was...
Welcome to HW, sorry you are going through such a rough time, but you are a good person for sticking by your gf through this. unfortunatly one of the hardest things about depression is that in order...
Hello and welcome to HW, sorry to hear about your uncle, how long has it been since he passed? Could you still be in the grieving process? Have you told anyone about whats going on? any more detail...
i'm thinking the same as above, the max lex dose should be 20mg. I experience the same type of smyptoms when i tried to get on Celexa, but not with the lexapro. I am currently on 20mg of lex...
A love story born in the hospital, i love it! Glad you are feeling better today...
Hi cassy, Welcome to HW, glad you decided to post. Self esteem issues, in my opinion, are one of the hardest things to deal with, i have low self esteem and its something i struggle with everyday. It...
i don't think you are oversensitive, you just loved someone very much. And i agree she would want you to be happy and live your life, but its completely normal to miss someone so much who you had...
Well i haven't done the official weigh in this week yet, but so far im only down 0.5 lb this week, which i still think is good considering we had company all weekend and a party and such..Taking vit...

Soudns like you have a well thought out plan, thats a good thing! I am currently on the same journey as you. I started weight watchers a couple of weeks ago to help me along with the weight loss....

Bump Again /community/emoticons/turn.gif Weight Watchers is going very well, down almost 5 lbs last week /community/emoticons/yeah.gif . Eating better and walking everyday is really helping. Had a...
Hope you are having a better day today jamiee, hopefully the weather will change for the good today!...
i hear ya on the alcohol thing, i really enjoy a cold beer (or five) on a hot summer day, nothings better but its not worth the risk to me. I do have some NA beer, but its really not that good :)....
Sorry you are having such a rough time jamiee, hope that med adjustment helps you feel better, hopefully you can get some rest. Good vibes your way...
Sounds like you have been though a lot. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I know this will be very hard to do but you really need to confide in someone with whats going on, its the only way to...
Its definatly been proven that diet/exercise is a great way to deal with depression/anxiety, and that may be the best route for you to go. I am on wellbutrin XL paired with lexapro and i have found...
I don't usually have bad dreams but they are rather vivid. Strange too, but i feel like my dreams have anyway been a little off :)...
I agree, as hard as it is, you should probably remove yourself a little from the situation. Not completely by any means but give her some space and let her know that you are always there for her when...
glad you are feeling ok today, i love to watch thunderstorms roll in as well, so cool!...
Bump again!! So i started the new me, i joined Weight Watchers to get my diet in line and have lost a few lbs so far, doing a fair amount of walking, still need to get back into running but its hard...
Sorry you are having a rough go of things right now but you can make it better. I know you think that it will hurt your mother to let her know whats going on but she would probably be your best ally...
Try to talk to someone outside the family about waht is going on, school councellor (as mentioned about) is a great place to start, that is why they are there! It does sound like you have some type...
i had similar feelings about gowing to therapy. But once you get into the office and settle down a little and you get to know your therapist its really a great experience (provided you have a good...
its true, everyone really reacts differently to different meds, i am on lex and wellbutrin for depression/anxiety and they seem to really work well together. It sucks but you really do need to get...
sorry to hear it jamiee, keep your head up it'll get better...
bumping this up again, talked to the Doc today about my bloodwork, its not too bad, but there are def. things to work on. Thyroid is OK a little high but still in normal range, weight is not good, BP...
So i was at the Doc today to go over my bloodwork and she noted that my Vit D levels were pretty low. Partly because the sun hasn't been out here in forever and i'm sure my diet doesn't help either....
Hope you are doing better jamiee, i've been out of the loop for a couple of weeks....Had a friend that brought back some vegimite from vacation, couldn't really get past the sight of it so can't say...
well i just wanted to bump this back up, but i am starting my new diet/life plan, went to the doctor today to get labs done, plus thyroid profile, etc.... I'm pretty sure i know what the results will...
My condolences, hopefully now everyone can start the healing process....
this is a heartbreaking story to read.......i'm sorry you must be a part of this. I guess my only advice is this, you need to take time for YOU. You have been giving yourself/your life for others...
wow, great view on things, that was a great read...
Sorry to hear about this! Glad everyone is ok...
Sorry to hear it Jamiee, hope you have a good apt with your therapist...
Glad to hear that you went and got checked out. I'm kinda in the same boat as you, due to my depression i gained about 40 lbs. :( fell out of shape and am just now at a point where i feel motivated...
First off, let me just tell you that this is not the best place to be asking this question just because we all do suffer from depression and one of the first things you need to do to recover is cut...
Hi! and welcome to HW! have you thought about seeking some outside help? Marriage councelors are great tools to help you figure out how to communicate with each other. Alot of times the communication...

Sorry to hear about your friend, thoughts and prayer to you and the families involved...
