Re: Elyse
You are right about life occasionally impressing its pressure. That has been my experience. I know that it will pass, it always does--at least for me. I promise to post pictures!

Re: cheerygirl
Yes, I've read a few of your posts as I've had time. They do lift the spirits. Thank you for the great suggestions.

Re: ravenmarie
I think it is a case of getting the dosages and types of meds right that makes the difference. I know several years ago I was prescribed something that certainly smoothed out my moods, but turned me into a zombie. Not every med works for everyone.

I wouldn't want to say anything that might cause you to question your doctor.  Your doctor knows you and your situation.  But I know that when my life fell apart about 10 years ago the doctor tried antidepressants.  I felt worse and worse.  Finally I stopped them.  I told my mom that I was feeling worse with every new pill.  In a few days the fog lifted and I suddenly realized that as my brain cleared so did my world and it wasn't such a bad place.  I was so drugged up that I could feel anything even joy.

I'm glad that you are able to carry on in spite of it all.

I hope the meds make a difference! It can be so trying when experimenting until the right combination and dosage are discovered! sam

med or a break?
You have a positive out look toward this and that is good.  Going away with your husband on the cruise, will be like a big tranquilizer for you, relax, enjoy, and pretend it is your second honeymoon!  LOL

A nice cruise will do wonders You know my whole blog is geared around making people smile, you could always sit and read every entry. Something there should at least give you a chuckle or two. Ha Ha

It is hard when your emotions are that up in the air, the only thing I can say is to try and get through it by doing things you enjoy:  Looking at things that make you smile like movies that make you laugh rather than cry. Sometimes very little things like wearing something you like but haven't worn in ages can help, or putting on a nail varnish that you find gives you a lift can make a little difference. Try a variety of little things to lift yourself up even if you really don't feel like it. And remember all those that love you.

 Life has a way of standing there to impress its 'pressure' on us.  I hope and trust in my heart dear Dancin' that this is just as you say, a catching up of all and soon, with the 'cruise' and alone time with hubby, you'll feel revived ~ also, receiving TLC that you need.  You have reached a "pain" limit and I pray for you - it's okay and it will pass.  I speak from experience. Elyse  (get pics on your cruise)
