Dear All,
As we know, depression can sometimes hinder us from seeing the bigger picture. It's easy to forget that the struggle, the weight, the darkness of the moment is not something we've always felt and always will feel.
With that in mind, I hold out hope to you. I've been on Lexapro for eleven weeks. As of my therapy session on Tuesday, my therapist declared me 'no longer depressed.' She's right. I feel so much better, it's very encouraging. I'm planning to stay on Lex for about a year. I've also been exercising a lot lately, expanding and cultivating my circle of friends, and eating much better. Have reversed months of weight gain (29 pounds) and lost 8 pounds in the last three weeks.
Take good care of yourself. It's not always easy when you're depressed, but it makes an enormous difference in how you feel. Don't wait until you feel better to do it, it's how you're going to feel better. The benefits are so worth it.
Courage, and peace, to all.
