Hello, to everybody:
Thanks once again for this post, it keeps me going.
I'm slowly getting off the Paxil and have increased the Buspar to 20 mg a day.
I'm hoping to get a hold of a pdoc this week, I'm new in town and don't have one yet. I do not believe SSRI's are the solution for me. In fact, I think they have made me feel even more depressed and isolated.
Right now, the only thing I can do is take care of my 21 month old toddler and that's about it. I have no desire to leave the house unless it is a necessity. Over the years, I have lost interst in social activities, especially since I've been in recovery from bulimia. Once in awhile, I attend 12- step meetings, just to keep me going and stay focused on the solution. Now, that I have put on 20 lbs my low self- esteem is at its worse. I feel awful and yet I realize this is not the important thing.
I don't know what it means to feel "normal". I wonder if this is as good as it gets?Thanks for anyone who cares to read and respond.
