I finally went to the doctor and got back on Cymbalta!! He is a God send to me because after I told him I couldn't afford this prescription, he gave me samples for 3 months! And told me to let him know when I needed more. I have been seeing him for many years and he knows most everything about me. Is it just me, or does anyone else believe in Angels? :o) Already I can tell that being back on this drug has helped my depression and my pain...maybe it's all in my head because of the relief, but I really feel hopeful again. I don't know why I think that I can be without these meds, I have tried before and failed...I NEED ANTI-DEPRESSION MEDICINE!! Anyway, I am back on track and very hopeful! Just in time for my birthday which I have been dreading and now look forward to! Right now I can honestly say life is good!
I am so thankful for what I have in my life, why can't I get out there and live it! Example, today I am not working and here I sit, alone. I know it seems it is my choice but I reached out to the people around me and they are all doing what they are doing and not one of them extended an offer to share their day. Maybe I 'pretend' so completely that I am happy they really don't know how lonley I am! Is that even possible? Maybe it really is just ME and they don't want to spend their time with me! Oh well, it is what it is! Maybe I will just clean the apartment and take a walk later. I so miss sharing my time with other people!!!

Don't know very much, still not getting 'out there' and living my life. It's just so much easier to stay home until I have to got to work. I had to stop my Cymbalta because it's too expensive and I can't pay! The withdrawl was kinda difficult but I got through it and except for feeling more emotions than I have in a long time...I'm ok. Funny how a little pill can literally stop the up and down of normal emotions!!! I'm not sure yet if I can deal with all the feelings...but the 'happy' is awesome!! I little too much sad, but I'm working on that.
I'm still trying to figure out how I can live on $400. a week and pay off the medical bills I have. Not much help out there for the 'working poor' . It is so hard to hear people say I make too much money for simple assistance...not charity but guidance on how to deal with my issues.
I found out that my new grandchild is another boy, that's good news! And that is what I search out, the good and wonderful things that God has put into my life.

Hay there.
Sometimes I find that people just dont know how to handle difficult situations - Its not you they dont want to see but that you have been having a difficult time and finding things hard and they dont know what to say or how they can help - so they stay away rather than perhaps get in to a difficult situation. I have done it myself - to avoid an embarrising slience or akward moment i just stay away. I am having the same kind of problems about what to do myself even to the point of getting bored of my own company - I just want to go out and laugh and feel free. I have painted every room there is to paint and moved the furniture everyway possible. Its not easy but I try to look for the things i like to do on line and treat myself. Like the other day I went to the theatre to see a kung fu show and made sure I spoke to some people going in and on the way out. Not much but made me feel better about myself.

You are so right about everything you have said, and I know that in my head. My heart still hurts. I was also the one who would try to avoid difficult situations, but the day I found out...years ago...that my mom had cancer changed all that. I realized that I had 'blown' off friends who had the same situation in their lives and I have not avoided things that are uncomfortable since! I learned that there is never a RIGHT thing to say and sometimes just to be there and say nothing is enough. That's all I want!! I sure don't wish bad things on anyone, if only people could understand that just BEING THERE is enough!!
I too have rearranged all I can, I wish I could afford a show once in awhile, so I take walks and sit at the park and read. Thank you for reaching out to me, thousands of miles away and you touched my heart where no one else did!!
I really am ok, I just have little pity party's every now and again. Have a wonderful day and go out and laugh!! Sandy
