> Hey, Pumpkin -
> Thanx. Ya, I probably have a history of depression, bein' that, when it's all laid out, sometimes it can seem like I've had a pretty depressing history. But, I've done pretty well really. There's just a lot of old, residual stuff that's been throwing itself at me lately all at once and I want to deal with it, confront it with my own head. I don't trust these doctors who seem so quick to medicate every little thing. I haven't gotten suicidal or anything. I don't feel ready to take any more pills and put myself through figuring out which expensive, designer drug cocktail will work best for me. The anxiety is hard and I don't understand it, which, of course makes me more anxious, but I think that, with some support, I could get through without a lot of drugs. Thanx. Take Care.So often it really helps to know you are not alone....many people here feel the same way you do....the DRs are using us like ginea pigs and don't really care, etc.
We are all here for the same reason, support and encouragement from our peers. I agree w/previous posters on this thread, don't give up, tell your DR how you feel, and if he/she won't listen, try another DR if it's possible. I know sometimes that is hard (small town w/only 2 DRs like me).
Whatever you decide it can be a long and painful road...just know that we all care and are here for you!!!
