Well I am still toying with the idea of going back on some medication. I feel fine and am not depressed but still get some pretty horrible thoughts about death in my head. I have told my psychiatrist this and she suggested I go back on meds. I keep fighting it because I have more good days than bad, but sometimes I just want to give in and have a healthy head again. Her idea of being on meds will be for a year or so with regular monthly visits to her, but I am scared of becoming dependant on them and what happens if the thoughts return after? She says there are non habit forming meds out there and some that are safe in pregnancy and all that fun stuff. I took so much medicaiton when I was pregnant with Kaili that I am scared ot be on meds again. I know it did not have anything to do with the reason Kaili passed away, but there again comes my mind!
I am just wondering if any of you are on medication and if any of you are pregnant and on medication and if it really is working. Maybe what kind of medication you are on as well.
I know not everyone will feel confortable answering the question and I totally understand and appreciate if there are no responses.
Thanks,
Ginger

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
I went to go get the help and go back on the meds but my shrink tore a strip outta me. Read my journal for full story.
I most likely will go on meds but want a 2nd opinion 1st!
I went recently to the doctor as well. A year after Kairi's passing and I am still having trouble.
I've been taking lexapro for depression, and Ativan (Lorazapam) for anxiety attacks when I just need a boost. And to help me sleep at night.
Honestly, I think it's working. I guess you just have to try different things to see what works for you.
