Well, it's been awhile since I have written in my journal. I am on a new medication and it seems to be working very well. I am no longer depressed, and my racing thoughts are gone. I am hoping that this works, and praying that I can return to work soon. My husband has been so caring & supportive ~ I cannot even explain how much he does for me. With the holidays approaching, I am hesitant to do anything because I just do not feel well enough yet. I have already told my close friends, that we are not exchanging gifts this year ~ instead we are making a large donation to a local food pantry. There are people in our area that have no food to feed their kids. My heart goes out to these families, and I believe that this is a great way to celebrate this year. We feel very strongly about this , even though it is not traditional. Giving is always the right thing to do ! Anyway, I am still going to therapy, and working on my cognitive distortions. I don't really have many these days, which is great ! I feel good about myself, and continue to improve every day. I still have a few bad days ~ but they are not as bad as they used to be. I feel very positive !

I have learned something.
DON'T EVER DISCONTINUE A DRUG ABRUPTLY . If your doctor says to do it, then ask them WHY . I am not a doctor, just a patient who cares about other patients.

I couldnt agree with you more sugar.
Only WE can judge how we feel while coming off meds, so I usually go with my gut instrinct.

I agree with you, it's not a good idea to come off a drug abruptly, I would say that's asking for trouble. I hope this didn't happen to you recently Sugar, it can cause great discomfort and anxiety. Hugs to you.

congrats! i'm glad you feel good. i don't really know you, but you seem really down to earth and very very caring. its such a good thing you're going to do for those families! i recently donated to a food drive that we had at school for a local food pantry. i couldnt give much, because we arent really well off ourselves, and i had to sneak what i took anyway. but it felt so good to give to people that are even less fortunate than i. its really a good feeling, and the right thing to do. anyway, i'm glad that you are improving; improvement is always a good thing!
