Its been about 3 weeks now. THe med seems to be helping. I would say it suppresses the sad feelings. I feel like I can do more in my daily life but not necessarily facing the serious issues. i am certainly not acting on them. I am so hoping I will be able to react better to further bumps in this road of life...my unresolved problems. Am I right to think I still need recovery, more time with this med to become stronger. I am suppose to set up an appt for therapy. I actually keep forgetting to do that. I am not constantly feeling pressure anymore so that is a relief. At times I feel I need more medicine as if my body is signaling me. Is that normal? of course I will talk to the doctor about that.

Julie,


It is important to discuss any questions about your med with your doc and very important to get that therapist

I will call and make an appointment tomorrow to start therapy. Thanks for info about meds. I woke up feeling rested this morning. Found myself humming and all that good stuff. Then I began to fall a little ? Thinking about whether I can handle dealing with financial struggles today. I guess you would call it facing reality. Our world is so messed up. I got a notice that one of my credit cards was being canceled. I recently paid off a large portion of it. Dos not seem like an appropriate response to me. I think it is more about the fact I have not used it recently because of decreased income.

Julie - I agree that you need to make an appointment with a therapist as soon as you can.

Good to hear from you. I just had a really hard cry. I was experiencing that inability to reach out, to make the phone call for appointment. Thinking about mail I need to open and cope with. Maybe dealing with fear? but paper can't hurt you. Its all about how we react to things anyway, right. I am sad about the loss of a beautiful thing. The love of my life. I do miss my soon to be ex. There is a part of me that wants to call and tell him. They say you are not suppose to let him know how you are doing. So I won't. We have been apart a long long time. He may have failed me but this is my failure too. I accept responsibility and want to improve my life. So I guess that is what therapy is about. I know you wish me well. What is it that holds us back from doing so much of what we need to do??

I think you are right that it is fear that holds us back from doing what we need to do.
