I'm having a bad week, slipping back into isolating myself and staying in bed as much as possible. I just got put on a higher dose of my AD Luvox and it will take awhile for that to work. The worst thing is getting through these late afternoon hours- always have this trouble (I've posted about this before). I'm holding on...could use some help...

My heart goes out to you...I hope your meds settle soon so you may get back to feeling ok.

Try to do something to pass the time so the afternoons don't drag on and on.

Sending peaceful thoughts your way.

I sent you a hug sweetie...try and get up and do something, a little writing, a little walking...but something active that will relax you, soothe you and calm your nerves.

I experience depression every day at precisely 3 pm. It may be a drop in blood sugar. I found that eating fresh fruits at 3 pm can help minimize the depression. I hope this helps.

I pray that the new med adjustment does the trick for you. I have been told that positive thinking and pushing myself does the trick. I do it and I do get up.lol I dont want to be up at times, but I get up and get out the door.

I'm here for you. Once the meds kick in you'll feel better. But getting up and out of the house like for a small walk is a significant help.

    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...
