    • About Me

      I have one son who is married and his two beautiful daugthers and a wonderful wife. They live an hour away. My husband has been going through a rough time this past 10 years due to a family farm breakup, lawsuit, court cases, etc. He has a family history of depression, alcoholism, & suicide and was hospitalized for 10 days in a lock down pysch unit for depression & alcoholism. He was one drink away from death. The Dr. said he had never had someone with such a high blood alcohol level live. God was surely watching over him and us. He's on anti-depressants now and is working himself out of a deep funk. I allowed him to take me on his negative ride and lost part of myself by doing so. We are both healing, but in different ways. The important part is that we are healing.

      Treatments

      Breathwork Somewhat Helpful
      Celexa Working / Worked
      I can only take a 15 mg dose. It does help me feel calmer.
      Paxil Not Working
      Made me feel totally out of it. I couldn't seem to think clearly at all. I don't take it anymore
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I try to see good in the smallest of things so I don't think about how I'm feeling.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      I take it as I needed. It has been a God sent.
