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. |
Thanks V! I am sorry to hear about your husband...What did they give you to take? Depression is nothing to fool around with...I have known young people...I'm talking high school kids, that have committed suicide because of depression...Believe me I tried everything to not have to take anything...I am not a pill person...I would walk, exercise, listen to very calming music and meditate...this usually would help me, when it didn't,,,I had to give in to the meds...I was headed for a nervous breakdown...My boss, at the time, was the most horrible person I had ever met. It wasn't stressful enough that I worked in a prison (which I absolutely LOVED my job) but then I had this alcoholic, verbally abusive and harrassing Basta** to work for...I put up with his SH** for 2 years hoping it would get better,,,even with the meds I just couldn't do it...I had to resign...only to find out he was terminated from his position 7 months later...The only thing I take now is Xanax, and this is something I don't take all the time...when I feel like I am going to be stressed (I feel shaky) I will take a couple...they are very addicting so I am careful but, they do help instantly...I haven't had to take one in a while so hopefully I won't need them anymore...Maybe you should ask your MD about Xanax? It does take the edge off...I will pray for you, my friend....
