Godislove,
I like taking the Lexapro because it has helped me somewhat with the severe symptoms of depressions. It doesn't cure the underlying problems, but it gives me some relief. I do beleve that clinical or major depression is caused by an imbalance of transmitters in our brain, so I can logically understand the need to take certain medications. However, I also know that medication alone won't cure me, as I have to work on getting better by learning as much as I can and be willing to ask for help when I need it the most. It must be hard for you raising children alone. It takes a great amount of energy to be there for them even when you have two people contributing to raising them. But when you are doing alone, you have no relief and have to keep giving them what they need. I admire you for doing your best under the circumstances. People sometimes say that you just do what you have to do, but I am afraid that if my marriage falls apart, I won't be able to bounce back from this one. The strange thing is that I think my husband might be cheating on me for the first time. I don't have any proof, but I sense that there is someone at his job that he either is attracted to or she is attracted to him. So like it or not I may be starting my life over again. I admit our marriage has been deteriorated for several years now, but I still can't think of being all on my own again, it is frightening. I know that it takes someone strong to go it alone and I will pray for you to continue doing what you need for yourself and your children.
