[QUOTE="Terryforvols, post: 625635, member: 2127"] We didnt go to church on Easter but had planned to. We were always very active in our UMC when difficult child and easy child were growing up, esp our SS class. We all had kids the same age, we had parties together, and even for sev years abt 15 or so families vacationed together in St Augustine. For the past 6 yrs or so, I just dont want to go. I have not lost my faith at all, that is what has helped me survive. At first, it was depression that stopped me, then/now is laziness. Our kids have all grown and moved on, and some couples have left. I guess I still have such sadness there after so much of our lives, and esp the happy times, were spent with these people. They are still there for us, and we cld ask them anything and it wld be done. They have known both kids since toddler yrs, and know all abt difficult child and have supported us. I love Easter and Christmas, esp the hymns. husband doesnt like our current pastor, I really have no feelings abt him, so husband is fine not going. We have talked abt a new church, but Im not sure I want to deal with mtg new people, beginning all over, etc. What a whiner I am!! The sad thing is, I no longer have any CLOSE gfs. OMG, that makes me sad, but its of mg own doing. I just shut completely down yrs ago and am content to just sit in my house. I love my job, and my coworkers, but dont want to put out the effort to get back out in the world, even though I am lonely. Over the past 2 months, I made myself start wearing makeup again and had my hair highlighted. I have worn makeup to work everyday but one, and got compliments. It brightened me up, but still no motivation. I was hospitalized 3 times in 1991-1992 for 3-4 weeks at a time for severe depression and have taken SSRIs since. They were lifesaving for me but now dont seem to work. Last yr I switched off Prozac to Lexapro and for abt 8 wks I felt reborn! Then, it stopped. I have a gr8 therapist I see as needed, so my tools are there. I dont feel overall depressed abt difficult child, of course have sad days, but I cldnt tell you what is wrong.
