[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 63164"] Ladies, thank you for the ear and support. [img]:flower:[/img] totoro - I've always said that my idea of roughing it includes a mint on my pillow, so I don't think I would deal well with commune life. [img]:rofl:[/img] AllStressedOut - Thank you for your words. I hope you're feeling better soon. WeepingWillow - I am on lexapro 20mg. It has worked wonderfully for me. In fact, I think it's the only reason I'm not in a full blown depression right now. Sharon - thank you for the hugs and the ear. Wend - I did write a note and stuck it to my purse. Stella - Isn't lexapro wonderful? BBK - You're so sweet to keep me in your thoughts with all you're going through. You are NOT a loser. Don't even say that.
