About Me
I quit my job to take care of my mom. I really miss getting up and going to work. I had been with the same company for almost 21 years. In Feb. I was told I have a cyst on my brain and there is nothing I can do about it. Some days I deal with bad depression. I have a wonderful husband who stands by me. I married my best friend 12 years ago . I have a dog and a cat. Pretty much thats me. I will never take a friendship for granted and once I make a friend it's for life. I try to start each day with a smile and something to look forward to.
Interests
I love to shop in recycle stores. Goodwill, Salvation Army or the little resale shop down the street. I live near the beach so I try to get there once a week just to walk and think. I ride my bike every day just for fun. I love to read, mostly James Patterson and Fern Michales . I moved here 4 years ago and really have not made any friends. Maybe I should have had kids but I guess god had other plans for me.I have also gotten into photography. Sarasota has some great place for picture taking!

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have had depression for years on and off. I think everything came to a head when we moved to florida so I could take care of my mom and had to leave all my friends behind. I hit a really low point about 4 weeks ago. I never told anyone except my husband about the abuse my father did to me until now. Having to listen to mom talk about him as a good person makes me want to scream. I know she doesn't know what he did to me. I also have a cyst on my brain & I think about my mortality
Treatments
- Celexa Not Working
- didn't work
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- worked for a while then ineffective
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- some days it is hard to feel happy.I try to think positive and keep a smile .
- Prozac Too Soon to Tell
- just started makes me sick to my stomach
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- Been in therapy a long time ago but I could never quite open up. It takes a lot for me to trust people.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- I have lost most of my friends because I can not be honest about my feelings and I feel like a failure when I think about the abuse from my father. My husband has been the only constant in my life and loves me when I am happy or strike out in anger. I will never be able to tell my mother or brother what my father did to me. I don't want to hurt them and my brother already thinks I'm nuts!
- Trazodone Not Working
- bad side effects
- Writing Too Soon to Tell
- I have been trying to write on this web site every day. It has helped to know there are people like me out there. It does help to blow off steam. I wish I could be more honest with my husband about what is going on in my head but I don"t want him to judge me as a crazy person. I was so stable when we got married.
- Remeron Working / Worked
- seems to be working. At least I dont cry all day anymore and I sleep like a rock since I take it at night. If you take it dont have any plans for the morning. You are i a fog till 11am.
