[QUOTE="bertie, post: 177208, member: 965"] Peg, I certainly hope you're looking into help for yourself? An anti-depressant can do wonders....I went for years with the attitude that I had given up on anti-depressants because of all the side-effects and because I hadn't been able to find one that was ideally suited for me. I changed psychiatrists (actually it's my son's former psychiatrist who also treats adults and she's very good), and she immediately suggested Celexa because all it does is boost your serotonin level - because it has just that one function, there are less side-effects. It has worked SO well for me! I'm on a low dose and just over the past two weeks I started getting heavy anxiety again, so my psychiatrist suggested yesterday that I boost my dosage by 10 mgs. And as CrazyinVa says, support groups and therapy are extremely important. Peg, you sound very depressed, please let us know if you seek treatment for yourself. Believe me, I've been there several times. [I always have to laugh whenever I hear someone say, "Oh, I want to have a baby! I want to be a mommy SO BAD!" What's really ironic is that I never felt that way, I just seemed to have babies when it occurred, plus my sister was the "bad" child in the family (she's now schizo-affective) and I remember my mother many times shaking her finger at my sister and yelling, "I hope someday you have a child who drives you as crazy as you drive me!" - and I had them!
