[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 753637, member: 15032"] Ckay Sorry for how you are feeling. I am feeling a bit like that myself this week. I too am very emotionally healthy considering all that I have been through (alcoholic mother, abusive short second marriage, two divorces, son off rails). I did take Lexipro for a year when my son first started his descent. It helped me to "take the edge off" and honestly other than that, I could not even tell I was on anything. It makes you not want to cry all the time, is all it did for me. I think my feeling comes from the time of year - holidays always make us think why things can't be as they should be. My son has done well but has definitely been in a hiccup for the past few months. I sometimes wonder if he'll ever be on his own and be self sufficient and happy. Right now he works at Dunkin Donuts part time with school starting in January. My husband took him past the campus yesterday and he said it looked old. Really?? It's a junior college and it's in an older town a half hour from our home in a very luxurious area. Who cares how old it looks is all I could think to say!!! He is going to college because we suggested he do something to get a degree of some type so he can someday support himself! He also needs to meet people because he never goes anywhere except to work or else he's home with us. I don't even look forward to the weekends right now with him just sitting with us. UGH. I continue to look to my higher power and pray that my son turns his life around and finds his way. That is all I can really recommend. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
