If any of you suffer from this horrible disease, please feel free to come chat about it. I have suffered for a very long time and know all the challenges you have to face. Sometimes it helps to let it out and just talk, so if anyone would like to, I am here. ;) I know to some it is a personal topic, so I understand discussing it may make some uncomfortable. All I know is, it is very common and nothing to be ashamed about! I am here... ↓

| Yes what a good idea i have been on fluxatone tablets for about 7years only a small dose but i cant seem to cope with out them which is really upsetting cause when i am on them i feel as if i dont need them and when i am trying to come off them i need them. ↑ |

I feel the same way mspeachpit (can I just call you peach?) ;) I am so scared because of genetics it will be passed down to my daughter and future children. Depression runs on my husbands side too but not as bad as my side. So I am so worried about that. I had an Aunt who killed herself as well, I was about 20 at the time. I have a lot of alcoholics in my family as well, wich makes it even worse!
Lynne, if the meds are working that well, then stay on them! Of course over time you want to try and get off of them if you could, but if you start to feel bad again, then I would keep taking them.
Yes, it has become more open and talked about. The amount of meds they have now for it is amazing! My husband is a Pharmacist (well will be in a few months, he is finishing his rotations) and he reads them all off to me, I had no idea they had that many! ↑ |

| this scares me and i dont want to get to this point in my life: my mom will not go out in public in fear of having an anxiaty attack as she has in the past, she buys all her stuff online orders it. she makes my sister who is 20 but lives with them she is in college go to the grocery store for her it is awful sometimes i just want to scream at her(please dont think i am mean!!) but i want her to just smap out of it and be my mom and grandma to my boys!!! i have since learned that there is no snapping out of it!!! i love her and try helping anyway i can. ↑ |
| Name: Lynne n | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 5:30 PM |
| Oh yeah i am happy to keep taking them if it keeps me well! ↑ |

Mspeachpit,
Go take your meds, they are so important, also I do not know if you have done this, but add excercise to your life daily, this really helps. ↑ |
| Name: mspeachpit | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 5:34 PM |
| i would exercise more if i knew what kinds of exercises would be helpful from a wheelchair. ↑ |
| Name: charla | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 5:35 PM |

| Oh peach you sweet thing!!! Just for the record, I will NEVER call you that! ↑ |
| Name: Julia | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 5:47 PM |
Just getting fresh air helps too. Getting outside and finding a pretty, peaceful setting to just sit and relax. I know it's hard for some of you with small children but even you tried like once a week it would help. Exercise is my medicine.
Charla, I get that way sometimes too. It's not your Mom's fault (as you already know), there are times when going to the grocery store is a huge chore just because I am around people. It really stinks! I hate feeling this way!!!! ↑ |

| Name: Julia | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 6:02 PM |
| I get that way too Charla! I am a clean freak so clean over already cleaned things in my house. I am very meticulous when people come over! ↑ |
