I have had it from when i had mitchell over 3 years ago. How can you not know you have something like that? Well i am now going to concentrate on my kids and getting

You know my view on anti-depressants and coming from someone who has been on them multiple times in the past 10 years of my life.. Please please please be careful. Yes they will help you right now with your marriage falling apart etc. but in the long run do you really want to be reliant on them

i have tried to feel better for years. There was a point when things got bad and i tried so hard to get my life on track but i just didnt have the motivation. I felt tired all the time and It wasnt working. My psych said that with the medication it will help get my mind better and the best time to have sessions is when your mind is better. I have weekly sessions booked and i can get help and get off the drugs. He said if your mind isnt right when having sessions they dont work as well. I have a friend who said she was getting sessions while on the drugs and she came off the drugs fine. I just want my head right. After i told some of my friends and family they said 'I thought thats what you might of had from what you were saying to me.' Im thinking why didnt anyone say anything earlier.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. It's hard especially with two young kids. I wish I could say something really profound to make you feel better but I know from experience nothing anybody sayd right now can make the hurt stop. I'll keep you in my thoughts and wish you well everyday.

Thank you. I know it will get better in time.

Hello Miss,

Im not quite sure of what to say to make you feel even remotely better about the situation, but I do second karli in that antidepressants are a dangerous road to go down babe. Ive knocked them back many times over the years cos doctors irresponsibly overprescribe and ive come through just fine on my own. I used to work for a company who specialised in lexapro - it was often discussed even within the company that addiction rates were exceedingly high these days and success of the drugs in general was over exaggerated (of course all of this was classified info)
Anyway, you do what ever you need to do to get through this. Im not trying to be a pain in the butt - i just care about ya.
*Hugs*

I know this but its the post natal depression that i want to get rid of. I have had it for so long and i dont want to live with it anymore. I will tell my psychologist these concerns for being addicted. I just want my head in the right space for my sessions. Once i start getting results from my sessions and start getting my life on track i can then tell him that i want to get off the drugs asap. I seem to be doing ok concidering all thats happened. Thanx though. It does mean a lot that you are still there. I dont know how well ben is coping. I guess we are keeping our distance to make it easier.

No wait.... Ben is coping well. He has found someone else to keep him warm at night. I found out because mitch came home and told me.

Thanx, I really want to feel better.
