Did I sound too crasy?

I feel as though my writings have been so off the wall that I have scared people. I am so sorry if I have. I want people to write to me. I have rambled on and on and had extreme mood swings. I am sorry if I have lost the few friends I gained.

I'd have to go back and re read your postings, but when in grief and shock, we oten do or say things out of the ordinary. Try not to worry yourslef too much, many of us have been through similar things. Huggs, Rainbow

Thank you rainbowmama. I am having a better day already. I could not sleep and got up at 3 am but that's OK. I can get more things done today.

I'm trying very hard to stay focused on positive things. At times though I am crashing so bad that I think of suicide. It seems tp belasting a few hours and then I pull out of it. Now that I have my medication ago (Lexapro) perhaps all this will stop and I'll be doing better. I can't believe that now at my age finally have to rely on meds to get me through rough times. I have always been pretty strong even though I've suffered with depression. I was always able to overcome it myselft though. Now I can't. Perhaps it is the hard knocks that life has been handing for for the last couple of years.

I say get it all out and don't worry about what other people think. Most people here are sympathetic to a person, no matter how poorly they may be handling the stress/grief in their life.

I did read a few of your postings, and I can say that sitting in the house alone dwelling will really get you down. I'm glad that you're giving your medication a chance, and I hope you have a good doctor.

Not knowing anything about your overall health or activity level, are there any groups/activities you could join? I assume living in Florida, there must be a lot of support groups that one could join? (I absolutely love Ft. Lauderdale!)
