> if it were me in your shoes and the family past history i would enjoy the meds if you find one that makes you feel better. chances are if grandma had the meds we have she never would have been institutionalized. see ive been there done that with the post partum depression. my baby i caried 7 + months my only son, born dead. i was always a strong and happy go lucky person i could look death in the eye and carry on( had a death wish i guess) any way after the dead baby i had horrible post partum and the went straight in to post tramatic stress syndrom. raped at age three and beating by mommy dearest after words FOR I BROUGHT IT ON MYSELF DON'T YA KNOW... see at age three i still needed a little guidance in dressing my self. ( got shirts on inside out, backwards,etc... thats when any way that it happened) carried on the rest of life as well. thats enough of that. any way i tried to rough it out and damn near killed me and others because i couldn't funtions. yet i was afraid i was cracked if i took meds. 2 yrs went by and i got progressivly worse. DON'T DO THAT TO YOU AND YOURS. IF YOU CAN FIND A MED THAT MAKES YOU FEEL TEN PERCNT(PREFERABLY BETTER THAT THAT) BETTER YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY TO FELL BETTER AND HELP YOUR SELF. don't tell everyone though because not every one likes meds. they think you are cracked... when in actually they just don't know about meds. its afear they have about the unknown...

> enjoy the meds... its legal drugs!!!Hey Trucker -
Just read back on your post, and after a couple more weeks of calm I see what you mean. I also am with you on the "sharing" part. I have always been a "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" kind of gal, and at one time lacked compassion for those who might need such a "crutch". There but for the grace of god...right? Anyway, it all seems to be leveling out, excellent side effect is non-interest in alchohol self medication or other recreational drugs. Interesting.
