Hello everyone....i just wanted everyone to know that, i went to the doc this morning and talked to him and i finally had the courage to say "i need help"! My doctor prescribed me 2 different types of meds...1 for my depression called "celexa" and the other one to help me sleep called "Innvonl" if anyone has ever had any experience with these meds please let me know for i don't know anything about it!

good for you, getting help! i haven't tried either of those med's - just a note, if you've never tried antidepressants, some work w/ your body chemistry, some don't - there are many to choose from if by chance you have any problems.... just don't give up. good luck fmom ;)

Well done!!!
TBH, other peoples experiences of meds can differ greatly, which is why there are so many varieties available....
The main thing is to find the ones that work for you!!
Massive congratulations on making those first brave steps! xx

    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...
