[QUOTE="Steely, post: 429504, member: 3301"] I am so sorry. I have been there many times, especially recently. The crying uncontrollably scares the heck out of me - so like Terry - I try to make myself not ever cry, which is sometimes more exhausting than just crying. This last period in Sept when I got fired, and my Dad was dying was a deal breaker for me. I was having physical manifestations of the depression, because I wasn't dealing with the depression, so I went to the Dr. I had already been on Lexapro, but it just wasn't enough. I finally opened up and let them add another 3 medications, Klonopin, Ambien, and Wellbutrin. It was NOT what I wanted, but I also knew I couldn't live the way I was. It was killing me. With that medication combo, and starting to do long distance phone calls with my therapist from Dallas I actually made it through my Dad's death without an emotional breakdown. That was pretty huge, because I wasn't sure I could. So please, take care of yourself. Be open to what your therapist says, and don't deny yourself some medication if they suggest it. I am almost off the Klonopin now, and I am lowering the other medication doses. Sometimes you just need something to get you to the other side. So many hugs- hang in there............... [/QUOTE]
