    • About Me

      I deal with depression. I am recently starting to take an antidepressant. I fought it for a while not wanting to have a mental illness. I have come to terms with it. I am probably saner than what you may call a normal person. I am single and live with my mother at the time. I live with her to keep her company and a care taker for her. She has osteoarthritis and it is hard for her to get around sometimes. I am a bit on the shy side at first.

    • Good Day Off In Sunshine

       I got today for myself. I spent the day walking in the park and playing some put put golf. Then I ate at a Dairy Queen. Diet was not on my list today. I had the chicken strips with extra white gravy to dip the chicken and fries in. I then topped it off with a delicious peanut buster parfait. Mmmmmmm 

       

      The Zoloft does not seem to be helping my sleep habits anymore. I think I may try Effexor instead of upping the dosage again on the Zoloft. I see the doctor next week to decide.  If I can get a good sleep pattern going the depression is less. I read something new today on DS about going to a suntan booth in the winter for depression. I guess it can give the same affect the sun does. I am going to try it. Tomorrow back on a better diet than fast food. Working on keeping the depression from getting extreme again.

      I think you should talk to the doctor, but I would stick with what was working. It's all trial and error with these meds. You know the Zoloft works. I hope you are doing well.
