About Me
I really started to suffer anxiety when I lost my job after being with the company over twenty years. Depression, I have suffered off and on over the years, but not has bad as this year. The meds have helped. But you really have to keep pushing yourself or you will let it take over.
Interests
Being with my husband & dogs. Decorating, cooking.

Little Love
Sending some Love your way. I wish we could talk for real. I have so much I'm holding in and no one to talk to. My life is miserable most days and I feel like I'm just waiting till it's over.

Hi Lee, Not much new around here in NC. Little by little fixing up the house, can't do it all at once. We've decided to go out to eat for TG since it's just the 2 of us and I can't see making a big deal when my family is not here. I heard it's been very cold there in the NE and it's been exceptionally cold here too, always about 10-15 degrees warmer. I'm even wearing my boots. Today seems a bit warmer and not so windy. If we don't speak I wish you and your family a very happy holiday. I hope you feel better (the dizziness) and can control the weight gain. That's not easy for anyone around the holidays. Hugs, Elaine

Hug
Let's hug each other. Having a really rough time right now. Not much work freelancing. Just can't hack the corporate environments as full-time employee, but now that I am eligible for COBRA, it looks like the benefits suck. Biggest thing is that I know I AM having a major depressive episode. Finally decided to "fire" my shrink; she's done some horrible things, including prescribing two drugs to add to my antidepressant that are severely contraindicated. The pharmacy wouldn't fill them, and when I told her, she said, "That's why it's important to have a really good pharmacy!" I couldn't believe that a psychiatrist with a lot of experience would say that to a patient. NO, she's the DOCTOR. She could have killed me. When I'm separated from her totally (I owe her a book she loaned mea nd $50 for writing out two prescriptions without a visit), I'm going to file a complaint with the NY Board of Medical Misconduct. I hope she loses her license. No love lost; she never even got the name of my drug straight; always called it by the name of another MAO inhibitor. I've phoned Columbia University and am waiting now for a call back for a referral. It's not close to home, but definitely can go by subway. I responded to your e-mail you sent to my hotmail account, but I don't remember your replying. Also, by the address, it looked like a shared account with your husband (?), and that's not very private for me. Hope you're ok. I think Attention Deficit Disorder comes from Depression. It's all part of the same disease. Love, Me

You sound good. I guess things are better since you're working. I love all animals but especially puppies, in spite of all the hard work involved. Have a great weekend. Love, Elaine

Close Insomnia
All I want is to rest my head on my pillow at night, and go to sleep, and wake up with the morning alarm. Have normal dreams, not lie awake, toss and turn. Have used AmbienCR, but try not to use it every night.
Treatments
- Ambien Working / Worked
- Worked, but did not feel right the next day. Not groggy, just not right.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionJust always feel down. This year it is especially bad.
Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- seems to be working on the depression, no side effects.
Open Menopause
This year I really feel I'am going thru the change. Missed periods, spotting, anxiety. I think going thru this adds to my depression and anxiety problems I'am having.
Open Stress Management
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- The best thing I have found is when I'm walking my dog. I have now started to do it in the evening besides just the morning.
