    • Moment of Peace

      From Rainer July 17

      It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears. ~ Irish Proverb

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with depression in 2000 and have been struggling on and off to get it under control and take back my life.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Was with a great doc until my insurance changed, now I'm looking for another.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      20mg in the AM, seems to be helping. I can tell when I haven't taken it, so I guess it's making a difference.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My mom and husband are amazing. Nuff said
      Writing Working / Worked
      Journaling helps me to get out my thoughts and organize them, as well as helping to let my husband read an entry instead of trying to explain things to him.
    • Close Anxiety

      I was diagnosed with anxiety in 2000. For a while I did ok with Celexa and Lexapro, but then things got worse and now I'm on a PRN.

      Treatments

      A whole MG makes me sleepy but .5 PRN works great for me
