Thanks for responding. This site seems really helpful.
I am from Michigan, South of Detroit.
My doctor recommended counseling, I just haven't got to it yet. I have a lot going on in my life. I do take antidepressants for the depression/anxiety.
Thank you so much for commenting on my post. I haven't got back on here because I couldn't find my password.
I do take antidepressants. I was on Effexor XR for about 3 years and the doctor just changed me to Pristiq a few weeks ago. He said it is made by the same company with less side effects.
I just feel I have so many issues and lack motivation. I have been paying online to talk to counselors and they just agree with me and my credit card balances are going up.
My kids are 12,12,13,14, and 20. I was remarried 4 years ago and inherited 3 or them, including the 20 year old who has put me through the mill. I don't mean to feel sorry for myself but I am just plain sad most of the time. When my mind is occupied I do much better.
hi robin, welcome. you don't need a treatment center necessarily. i equate those with drug addiction. you just need a good md or better yet a psychiatrist. you need antidepressants. you'll feel better once you find the right one for you. it's an effort but you will feel better, think better and not have to act normal - you're already normal for you. believe me there are many of us here that take to our beds and want nothing more than to stay there - but you can't. how old are your kids, any chance this is post partum depression? hang in there robin
