Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
...the doctor back. This time I waited for a real person to come on the line instead of leaving a message.
This is awful...the minute I opened my mouth I just started crying. I explained that when Mommy passed away my Paxil dosage was increased to 50mg.
I eventually didn't need quite that much and I cut it in half and MaryEllen(my NP) said that was fine. Before mommy passed I was 37 1/2 mg and I seemed to do pretty well.
The nurse I spoke to looked and looked for and appointment for me today but there just wasn't anything so she asked if I minded seeing Bonnie, a different NP that works with this group. I told her that since I finally had the courage to make the call I was going to see anyone I could because I didn't know how much longer I could exist like this. I have an appointment today but it isn't until 1:45...I know that's only 3 hours from now but it feels like it's an eternity...
would anyone be willing to just pass time with me and chat for a while?
The nurse gave me the talk about the hotline and the crisis unit at St Mary's Hospital. I told her that I have a couple of warmline numbers besides the ones she spoke of (not that I thought to call them at all during all of this).
I don't understand why the tears just don't stop. I can't believe I have enough water left in my system to accomodate anymore tears. They stopped for a couple of hours last night after I talked with cat6961 on the phone, but they are back full forcenow.
*sigh* *tears*
God, please, just another 3 hours, get me through another 3 hours...AMEN

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...
Good luck!
my appointment is only an hour away now...I habve been going 5 minutes at a time...
I have been trying to be cheerful and posting funny stuff but everything just seems so damn hard!
