Laylir, How are you doing? It's been a few weeks and I wanted to touch base with you to see if things are getting better.   Diana 

Dear Laylir,  I can empathize with those feelings.  Call your doctor and report what you are feeling.  I don't mean to be funny or sarcastic, but, are you pregnant?  I mean I am sure you probably thought of that already, but when I was pregnant with my first son, I wasn't allowed to watch the news because I would fall apart.  also, have that thyroid checked and let us know how you are doing.  I take 100 mg. of sertraline daily and it is a lifesaver.  good luck.  bobbie

Hello, I too suffer from depression, you are not alone. I also have numerous health problems. I am taking Lexapro for depression & anxiety. I understand how you are feeling, sometimes I just want to scream, don't know if that would help. I acutally did that one day out loud and as loud as I could (glad I live in the country, :-)  ). Try to take it one day at a time and as time goes on I and others here are here to help as best  as we can, Hang in there,

Cindy

laylir, have you visited the Dr. Phil site?  A very good resource for depression.  At that site there is a depression board.  Excellent place to share.  You have to join the Dr. Phil Community to get on the message boards.  Best of luck to you and keep your journal.  As I stated in my earlier comment, the pen and paper don't judge you.
