    • About Me

      I am in technical support, and am trying to get out of that asap. I was just admitted to the hospital for the first time on Sept 9 (my 40th birthday) after some sort of breakdown. I was diagnosed as Major Depression Syndrom with Panic & Anxiety with underlying sucidual tendencies. It absolutely shocked me, so thought I'd look for some online support.

    • I’m With You

      From Dulcinea2 Saturday

      Dearest Igdennen,
      Funny, I was just talking about you in the grocery store. I ran into a friend, whose husband is a lawyer. She said to call the local Bar Association in your town/state, to find out the best way to get free legal advice.
      This problem will soon be over. There is help all around. Thanks for your kind words, as you are an angel yourself.
      Let me know good and bad news. I,m hoping it will be more good than bad.
      Love,
      Dulcinea2

    • I’m With You

      From Dulcinea2 Friday

      Dearest Igdennen,
      How's your status about getting unemployment benefits? Please get a lawyer. There are various ways to get free legal help. I think the Legal Defense Fund is one of them. Check for how to get in touch with them in your state. You must not try to handle this situation all by yourself. You have been very sick, and you do not want to get sick again. Get help in dealing with the money problem. Disability is a way to get money, if your unemployment money ends up being denied. We all here are with you, but you need legal expertise now. Please consider it.
      love, Dulcinea2

    • Close Bereavement

      My Dad passed away from Lung Cancer on October 14th, 2006. I am still struggling with this even after three years. Seems like yesterday that he passed on. I get tremendous relief that my last words to him were "I love you"--I had stayed over on a Friday night to help take care of him--he was in a hospital bed--and he passed away th next Saturday at about 5:00PM--even though it was expected, it still was a huge shock. He was the glue that heald our family together.

    • Open Shyness

      I have always been on the shy side when it comes to BIG crowds--I do great with small groups, but I am almost always just beat red in the face when I am in a crowd and I have no idea why? I am also at a loss for words sometimes--lost of dragged on conversations when I am put on the spot--always saying something pretty silly. I need some support and some tips on how to get over this--I am 40 and have lived half my life this way...NO MORE!! I want friends.

    • Open Insomnia

      I have had insomnia for most of my life--since I was in high school and I am now 40--it is nothing for me to go to bed at 5 or 6AM and then get up at 9 or 10AM--even on sleep medications.

      Treatments

      Ambien Not Working
      Family said I was up and sleep walking all night long--guess I was very active when I was on this.
      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      Have several: Lorazepam and Tempazam--sometimes they work, sometime not.
      Lavender Considering
      Lunesta Somewhat Helpful
      Worked better then Ambien, but I got used to it within a month. It no longer worked once an tolderance was built up.
      Meditation Considering
      Passion Flower Considering
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes it works.
      Restoril Working / Worked
      At first it worked great: now on 60 mg and it doesn't seem to work as well--probably need to get the dosage increased.
      Rozerem Not Working
      Sonata Not Working
      Trazodone Not Working
      Valerian Working / Worked
      Works pretty good sometimes, but use it more for Anxiety during the day
      Suboxone Working / Worked
      Take this for Chronic Pain one would think with one Activan one Restoril and one Suboxone would knock me out!! Sometimes it does but usually not.
