      From truefriend September 27

      Hi Michelle! I am so sorry that I have not been on this website in a long while. Thanks for praying for me and reaching out to me, it means the world. I am doing great! I finally got through the anxiety and depression from my surgery. I have been very successful! I love the story of your bird laying eggs. I bet she is so cute laying on them. That is very sweet of you to let her do that for a while... I live near the Gulf Coast and we have had to evacuate twice this summer...but before we evacuated for Gustav, I got a phone call from someone that was looking for a home for a 5 year old Yorkie male. Long story short, I took him in against everything I said I would do since my baby Tinkerbell passed. His name is "Toby", he has been good for my other dog, and good for me. I decided that one bad experience (heartbreak) could not allow me to not ever love another dog, or let into my heart again. So many animals need homes, and I have to be open to that. I am glad I did! I hope that you will be ok, keep praying for me, and please write back, love to ya, Kim :)

      From Thespian September 25

      Thank you for being so understanding. I would ask your guy WHY doesnt he want to get maerried. I really need a miracle to happen for me. Wanna hear something kinda weird? Have you ever heard The Carpenters Christmas Portrait CD? If you havent, you should. Its really good. Whenever I hear that cd (no matter what time of year it is), I always dream of me having my perfect family, my husband and my child decorating for Christmas, and/or me in the kitchen cooking Christmas food and things like that and spending the holidays like a real family..........now will that really happen or am I just reaching for the stars and getting nothing? Please write me back, you are a great friend to me. Michelle.

Very aneamic we found out recently having a manic phase at present and been freaking out with some hallucingenic dreams over the last couple of days Hope to hear from you soon. Janey

    • Close Depression

      Have suffered with depression my whole adult life until I said a prayer to be put on the right meds since mine were making me feel worse. I have a 15 yr old and a parrot who keeps me company.I have been through severe sexual and physical abuse my whole life up until recently, but am here to tell you there is hope. I have been sucidal for most of my adult life until now-thanks to God and my doc. If I can do it-anyone can with his help.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Elavil Somewhat Helpful
      seemed to become immune to it
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      they worked a little at first and then I ended up even more depressed then I was until now.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      Instantly felt relief and good for the first time in yrs.I prayed to be put on the right meds just the other day and for the 1st time in yrs I feel good!
