- Go to Gulp- I finally asked for help.
Nanaroo, I'm behind the times getting here but I'm so glad that you are taking care of it. Can you imagine what it must have been like back in the good old days when antidepressants were not available and it was a stigma to even talk about such a thing. Back in the '50s my Mom needed some help BAD for depression. I pretty much ended up being the teen mom for my younger sisters and brother because Mom could not cope. It was sad for her. The Doc pretty much told her, its just your nerves, like that was no problem at all.

I've been dealing with this same problem for years...
I'm trying to deal with it proactively, but still some days it's tough. Good luck!

Glad you finally got some help...
God bless. I was on Prozac for 2 years and it really helped alot.
Life is pretty hard to take these days. Sometimes I make a list of things that are buggin me. Having your troubles in black and white takes away some of their power to harm you.

nanroo, I saw on TV, many people give up when it stops working. They
should simply switch and rotate meds. Good luck. I am in a lose-lose situation in my life, it seems many days are hopeless, but I have my family, my job that I love, and I try to live one day at a time. That way, it doesn't matter what next week brings, next month or next year.
I make sure that all my relationships with others, work or hobby, are win/win. That way I'm not building negative relationships.
I've never tried anti-depressants, but I'm not ruling it out if I ever feel I need them! Good luck to you, and keep pitchin'!

nanaroo--
asking for help is probably the hardest thing. So many people still think depression is something you can snap out of, and situational depression might be fixable this way but not clinical depression. I've read dozens of books on the subject, I've tried all the natural alternatives and I even tried Prozac for three months. I'm still searching for a way to get rid of it completely, I guess I feel I am keeping it to a dull roar right now. I wish you all the best. Please feel free to email me if you want someone to bounce ideas off of.
