BOY!!!!  What a month October was!  After losing my 16 y/o cat Tommy on the 2nd of the month, it was so devastating, I really spiralled downward.  I'm glad to be feeling better, I know he's not suffering and is with his big sister Cuca now.

I haven't been on DS for a few weeks, and I expect only to check in occaisionally to see how everyone is doing.  I wish I was strong enough to get on here and offer some great positive feed-back, but at this time I am simply taking one day at a time and trying to make myself a better and happier person so that I can be a good friend to others as well as myself!

This is a great site and I certainly am grateful for the friends I have here!  I can take things at my own pace and no one judges.  I know most might think I'm not making much progress but I know that I am.  Since going off the 50mg Zoloft I feel much better.  I've tried so many anti-depressants and have found that for me my 10mg valium help me more than anything for my anxiety attacks and sleeping.  I hope to not fall into that shitty "holiday pity party" this season.  I've already told myself I'm ordering Thanksgiving dinner from Kroger supermarket for me and my sister, and will deal with Christmas next month!

Once again, thanks to everyone on here for your support, encouragement, and kindness!
