I believe life is what you make it. If a person wants to sit around and do nothing with life,well that's the choice they made.

Its very noble and cute for those who are able to make something out of their lives but this is not the case with everyone so let us have our own opinion and leave it at that.

i took samples one time..it didnt do anything. think its sposed to be a mood stabilizer.

and peace..i agree with u..people with depression can't just "snap outta it" and make good choices. i think his comment was very uninformed and unprofessional.

So what's your opinion on all this Zen? You going to take it? Maybe seek out another doctor? If you do take it, and it DOES give you happy feet, can I laugh? lol
Just trying to make you smile :o)

Well I'm smiling now cause I am eating dinner, food always gets me in a good mood. I will try it I suppose but I can't take being nauseas and all that, I am going on a trip in two weeks and I don't know what the affects would be

PeacefulZen, I don't mean any disrespect but you do sound angry. In fact you sound like me when I'm really depressed and I hate the world. It's not easy but life is what you amke it. For a while I was filled with anger and I was always negative. I'm learning to be more positive and I surround myself with positive people. I took Lamictal for awhile it's a mood stabalizer. I hope you feel better soon.

Zen, at least you know you're angry and that it's not easy to just "make life what you want it to be". I hope the lamictal works for you and if it does, you call your doc back and get a script..k?

Good luck with the meds! Whatever you are angry about, I hope you find out what is causing it so you can find peace. Wishing you well.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
