Hi, I gave you a Sunshine hug because it looks like you can use a ray of hope. Please feel better! Try to fight your moods and get the help you need.

Sending you positive healing vibes and big {{{{hugs}}}}}!!

I hope your meds kick in soon.

Thank you. I am so afraid the meds are a waste of time. That I will spend months and months upping the dosage only to see no results.

AWWW I NO HOW YOU FEELS HUN IM TO ON A NEW DOSEAGE,

SO IM SENDING YOU ONE OF MY [DC] SPECIAL HUGGLES N CUDDLES OVER FROM TH UK!!!! AND HERE'S AND EXTRA ONE TO [[[HUGGLES]]] TO HELP KEEP YOU GOING...

Hello, River of Tears!

Wipe your eyes, dear, and have patience. Sometimes the meds take time. Are you seeing a therapist for help with any underlying issues you may be dealing with and not fully aware of? Therapists are very good at helping us to work out those "demons" that are wearing away at our psyche. The meds help, of a certain. But, therapy, in combination with the med, is a valuable duo in effectively coping and managing these issues and struggles we are all dealing with.

Hope you feel better soon. If you aren't experiencing any relief in at least 3 weeks, suggest you speak with your doc about adjusting the dosage of your med or changing it. Some meds are not very effective for some people. They do not all work the same with the individual's chemistry.

Good Luck & Best Wishes!!!!

Sending you boundless and endless,

((((HUGS)))

Yes, I see a therapist once a week. I feel lost the rest of the week. I know I need more outside help, like support groups, but dont know where to look and am just worn down. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Stay Strong Honey :)

I understand RiverofTears. It is so hard to find a support group where a person can feel "safe" enough to express their true issues and themselves without being manipulated and having revealed their "skeletons" out of their closets for others to see to find themselves scrutinized and judged and criticized. It is hard to find someone just to be open enough with to share yourself without fear of these same reprecutions. Anyway, believe that since this is an anonymous site you can feel free to "hang out here" and share your struggles as much as you feel comfortable with through this forum or through journaling your thoughts. I have discovered there are many, many thoughtful and sincere, genuine individuals on here who care about the well being of another who is struggling. This site has helped me alot. Of course, noone here is able to help you solve your issues; that is what your therapist is there for. And yourself. But, we can listen and interact with you to help you cope and work out those things you need to address with your therapist at your next session by opening yourself up just a little, as you feel comfortable with, and posting an issue that is troubling you, and allowing these precious jewels on here to give you their take on them. I've observed these "rubies" of heart are pretty much "right on" in their thinking for the most part, at least that is just my opinion.

No one should have to feel so rotten as we all can some times feel. That's why, I think, we need the genuine and sincere support of one another. Without any strings. It's a shame that we cannot find that anymore other than on a site like this. The sign of the times, I suspect.

Hang in there, dear. Just keep holding on.

(((Hugs)))

Many hugs and I hope you get to feeling better.
