good morning, I am feeling the same way you are this am and I really understand. Not know where to turn and not having anyone to understand your feelings is hard for people like us!! I hope your day goes better!! :-)

I'm sorry you feel so down. Do you have therapist you can call? A psychiatrist you see? Are there any friends or relatives that you could talk to...or at least spend some time with?

If not, we are here for you. Please let us know how you're doing, K?

One word of very good advice Ihave you if you cant be honest and up front with your therapist they cant help you...They arent there to judge you they are there to help you...They may be the only ones to give you the help that you are so desparately searching for...

The dark days are like a suffocating blanket over our heads. It seems like there is no hope. BUT, you have had good days - try and focus on the fact that you WILL be 'up' again. I understand the search for the right med, I've been looking for the right cocktail for 5 years. Try to do some of the other things that might make you feel better. Go for a walk or invite an understanding friend over. I'm glad you're going to see your therapist. Just talking about your condition can lighten the load.
peace, t

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
