    • About Me

      I really started to suffer anxiety when I lost my job after being with the company over twenty years. Depression, I have suffered off and on over the years, but not has bad as this year. The meds have helped. But you really have to keep pushing yourself or you will let it take over.

      From fruitcup April 12

      Trying to figure out how to join the 50 and uemployed group. Don't see a way, but I'll do it soon. I've been off the board for ages...too depressed to get on it. Will write you from hotmail soon. Is that the best way?

      Hi Lee, Yes that front cover Newsday story was my Melissa. Wasn't she beautiful? I talk to my brother and SIL every day and it's really so hard for them, and for Melissa's boyfriend too. They were both living home and were saving money to get married. He goes over to visit the family often, but for him, well he was the last to see her and talk to her on the phone when she got lost. I have my upand down moments ( a lot of down lately) but don't go on DS that much. How far do you live from Valley Stream? I'm planning to visit my family in April. Maybe we can finally meet each other.

    • Close Anxiety

      Symptoms - chest pain, upset stomach, constant worrying.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      It seems to be working on the depression, but still not on the anxiety.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      It does work. Only side effect it makes me a little sleepy.
    • Close Insomnia

      All I want is to rest my head on my pillow at night, and go to sleep, and wake up with the morning alarm. Have normal dreams, not lie awake, toss and turn. Have used AmbienCR, but try not to use it every night.

      Treatments

      Ambien Working / Worked
      Worked, but did not feel right the next day. Not groggy, just not right.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Just always feel down. This year it is especially bad.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      seems to be working on the depression, no side effects.
    • Open Menopause

      This year I really feel I'am going thru the change. Missed periods, spotting, anxiety. I think going thru this adds to my depression and anxiety problems I'am having.

    • Open Stress Management

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      The best thing I have found is when I'm walking my dog. I have now started to do it in the evening besides just the morning.
