Welcome to our board Susan


I hope that we can help you put one foot in front of the other, and with little bitty baby steps make it out of the depression and funk you are in.

Hi Susan..I'm new here..but it seems like there's alot of support here.

I don't recognize the Zonegran..but I am currently on Wellbutrin also..150 mg 2 times a day..it's helped a little but after starting that dosage H left me and the 3 kids...so I think everything is pretty much collapsing upon itself. I should also be going through a divorce..but now he wants back..and well anyways it just compounds everything else. I look forwarding to getting to know you better and if you need a shoulder..mine is available. ((hugs))~~Liv

Hugs and Prayers to you Susan! My worst time in my depression so far was last summer. I recognize your blanket description. I want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am a long was from normal, but I have improved from June. I have two children and I know it can be rough trying to take care of them and yourself. (There's not much left at the end of the day). Please try and take care of you though. Your children will be better because of it. Take care, Brenda

Hugs, Brenda

Hi, I just wanted to welcome you to the board...I'm sorry you're going through a hard time right now, and I can definitely relate to the feeling of putting on a happy face even when you feel horrible inside. I've had the same problem with Elavil as well...I was put on the lowest possible dose, and even then I was constantly groggy.

I haven't read through all the replies to you yet, but I'm sure that some people will have some suggestions about how to find inexpensive therapy...I agree with you that 8 visits per year is ridiculous when you really need help! Is there a university near you? I see a therapist through a university psychology clinic, and they charge me next to nothing because of my low income.

I hope you will continue to post here and find a way out of your thick, wet blanket (boy, do I know that feeling!),

I see you like the Serenity Prayer, and I thought maybe you might be a member of a 12-step fellowship?
