In looking for a site where I could find some support and sharing, I was disappointed to find antagonism among fellow sufferers. At risk to my fragile psyche, I will still try to share. I suppose I am fortunate because, though I suffer from deep episodes of clinicl depression, I have a good reason to keep moving through the pain, suffering and tears. That reason is my son who suffers from an incurable disease. I am a single parent. When he is doing well, I have been known to hide under the covers, lethargic and pained. But when needs attention, like an alcholic, I sober up immediately. Amazing but true. I have heard that Winston Churchill was fine during a war, but suffered severe depression during times of peace. It is said that it is a shame he lived so long for he spent the last of his days in deep depression. Anyway, I am also fortunate in that I do respond to antidepressants. I have recently gone off of Zoloft after 2 years because the side effects became intolerable, namely muscle and joint pain. I also operated in a somewhat spacey frame of find. The aches and pains were the worst, especially in my neck and back. I have just started Celexa and am hoping for the best. On Zoloft, I did not experience any sexual dysfunction.
