What can I do? I feel so hopeless. I am at my brother's house right now. My dad and I are leaving later today. So then I will be at home. I am scared. I feel so alone.

Pamela,

First, you are not alone, you have us. Second, try not to be home. Go out and do something, even just going to the mall or the library. Call up a friend. Try to get out of the house to get your mind of things. I know, easier said than done...I'm in a hole today too. But know that we are here.

HHHHUUUUUGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS Ilka

I live in a small town. Everything is closed on Sunday. My sister is here at my brother's. My dad doesn't really know, or ignores, my depression. I don't feel comfortable showing my feelings around him, anyway.

Thanks, though, Ilka. I appreciate the support.

Pamela, do your doctor or your therapist know what you are going through?

No, my pdoc doesn't know. I don't have a therapist, because I work with all the therapists around my town.

Right now I am going through a spell of feeling okay. But then I start to think of something little about my ex and his new girlfriend, and my heart just crushes all over again.

I know I wouldn't be doing this bad if I wasn't also switching my meds. I have been taking the 100 mg of Wellbutrin for a month. I started on 100 mg in in am and 150 mg at about 1:00 last week.

I have my pdoc's work and home phone number. But really, what can he do? He lives four hours away.

I haven't felt this desperate and alone in a very long time. At this moment, I feel okay. But we are leaving right away and when I get home I will feel even more alone.

Hi Pamela.. first off BIG HUGS!


Im going to suggest something that my T. said to me once.. that sometimes you do just need to "forget about your problems for awhile"... not that ignoring anything is going to make it go away.. but sometimes it ok to try and do other things to "get our mind off our troubles" ...


I know its a small town from the sounds of it but can you get out for a bit? Head to the movies or even just a walk in the park?

*hugs
