Mary,
Your kind thoughts and prayers help more than any meds. With that, I am going to see my pdoc tomorrow and once again try to figure out if yet another med will help with this paralysis and despair. I'm telling you, I'm ready to beg for electro shock at this point.It's the despair, feelings of total hopelessness and expectation that things will only get worse that is unbearable. Trying to get out and take a walk, although I think it will eventually perk me up, is just about impossible. I can barely think to tie up my shoes much less brave the cold grey Oregon dampness. Let's keep each other in our prayers extra special during these times. I truly believe in that loving energy as well, although during these times I feel totally cut off from it. Keep doing that housework! It's not crazy at all and if you can do it, it's probably the most organizing and brightening activity you can take on. Plus, better than wallowing in physical clutter on top of the mental clutter, eh? - Barbara

> I am speechless with sympathy of the difficult times you are experiencing. Why is it that not one thing goes wrong, which we may or may not be able to handle, but that EVERYTHING goes wrong all at once?
> I am NOT a fanatical religious person but I do believe in a light, warm, loving energy who is good and caring and to this entity I will pray for you to have help coping with all of these negative things taking place in your life. That you and your husband will find comfort somehow with the news or his parents health problems, that neighbors and friends will come to your aid during this time of paralyzing trouble, that some of the load will be lifted from you to give you time to heal and rest and find your strenghth again. If I was your neighbor, I would come in and help you any way I could. I know this isn't about meds, but this is how I know to reach you and I want you to know I'm thinking about you and praying for you.
