Hey hon just try to hang in there. This will pass it just takes time. I know it's hard, damn hard at times, but try to be strong. Hug your fur baby, even if it's a stuffed animal. Scream into a pillow if that's what it takes. And never be ashamed or afraid of crying. Laughter may be the best medicine but sometimes tears can heal. We're here for you but you have to be there for you as well. Not all tears are bad. None are when you think about it.

Med changes are HARD! I feel for you. Keep pushing through and try to keep concentration on some solid things…could be housework or doing a puzzle or art of some kind. Walks help. Sleep helps.

Hang in there!

Thank you my friends

Dear Jenn...sending u a gift box filled with Everything u need to Let Go Of Your Past. Jenn the secret to end depression is to let go of what doesn't serve you in your life...as those things weigh down your spirit. When negative people/experience""stay in ur head"" those thoughts are what control your thinking, thus your life and Sap Out Your Energy. The Past Is Gone Jenn, instead of thinking how you were hurt, SHIFT your thoughts to what You Learned so no one can hurt you in the same way.

Think How To Create New Memories in 2024 for you and Eric...make a goal to achieve something or learn something new<3....medications only do some of the work...WE have to work to shift ourselves....if you can walk...get out and walk for just 30 minutes a day, it increases serotonin and you never know who you will meet...I live alone and feel very isolated, so when I walk I wave to people, it makes me feel connected, the other day I saw a tiny rabbit running across a lawn.

I wish I could take medications to make me feel better,, but that is not possible. I do understand the challenges of your tears...I had and still do sometimes have what I call breathing tears...they just come and go as I breathe....I look at those tears as Washing Away Unknown Pain To Clear My Eyes So I Can See Better.

Med changes, despite being challenging take time, if you've been on this new med for over a month...usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for new medications to kick in, maybe a call to your dr. I wonder if you have ever tried lamictal, a mood stabilizer...I was on it for years and had few side effects. I still got depressed, but the depressions didn't stay so long and were not so deep.

Hugs to you my friend, and to Eric for a """New""" experiences in life 2024 <3

Hi Jenn,
looks like many of us agree changing medication and waiting for the results is the absolute pits. Count me in on that too....It's ugly territory to have to go through no easy way to say it.

Waiting for the sun to shine in our heads and hearts is just plain awful. (((hugs)))

In the mean time don't give up on anything you can do to feel better in the moment... Fingers crossed Jenn that something you can notice happens soon.

Keep coming back and letting us know how it's going...

Thank you, May. You are all so sweet heat. Giant Hugs.
