Hi, Dinah,
> We're a self selected bunch, Susan. Those who get all better move on from here. And there have been plenty who have. I'm always sorry to see people leave, but that's the best reason.
<<Hah! I never thought of it like that... makes perfect sense. Thanks!>
> But there is the possibility it will come and go for you. The best way to deal with that is to realize it, and take care of it as soon as it comes up. Have you reduced your meds lately? Or your therapy?
<<You are right. I appreciate your response. You and Poet pointed out that if I don't deal with it now, it will get worse, which I know but don't want to think about. :-) But I will make an appointment with the docs now. Thanks. :-)I haven't reduced my meds at all, but I have been neglectful about getting to therapy. I'll go back. I started getting bummed right after my SIL moved out of my brother's house. My whole family had been so *up* in a very stressful, adrenaline filled manner, trying to get him through it, trying to help him keep the house, and all that. Now that she's out, I can see my brother feeling really depressed and I'm feeling the same way -- like a let down from all the stress. Thankfully, he's getting counseling.
I'll follow suit again.
Thanks again,
Susan
