I was taking Zoloft. Every other time in my life I took it it worked. Not this time. I switched to Lexapro. I got better. I am not sure if it was that I "got better" or it was the medication or both.
There are now genetic tests that you can get by going to a psychiatrist to see which of SSRI's works better for you. There is typically one SSRI like Zoloft or Paxil or Prozac or Lexapro or one of the newer ones that is optimal for an individual. You swab the inside of your cheek and send it into a lab. I never did it but wanted to, just because it interested me.
The thing for each of us to remember is that there is hope. We seem to each of us think of hope for our children but the hope I am speaking of is hope for ourselves. We are worth saving. Our children are their own business. They will each save themselves, or not. Each of us needs to remind the other of this: we are worth saving. And we do. Thank you.
Like my own son. It is always somebody else.
