Girl - you don't need to ever go thru that alone - and that woman at your work obviously has never lost anyone to depression and how lucky for her....
it was my cousin who took her life - and it was years ago before paxil so I'm ALL for anything that will help people with depression.
I want my husband to take something but he won't. ....back when he got told he had only 6 months left - I did go see a doctor because I was so depressed and scared - but it didn't do much for me ...he's right at that 6 month time frame now - so I'm REALLY trying to stay cheerful on my own... but man it's tough sometimes.
If I could find something that took away the hopeless feeling I'd take it - but as of now I have pills but don't take them.
you can call me ANYTIME night or day if you ever get that way again - that's nothing to fool with.
