Thanks Sammi! I am trying to get to psycho-babble open - a chat room. I recently was posting with some suicidal ideation and some grief. I don't know where everyone went, or if I've somehow lost my connections to those posts. There were some posts of mine that were transferred to Psycho-Babble Social. Don't know where they went?! Anyway, the chat would be one good outlet for me anyway. I seem to feel better when I can talk, but not toooo much, a bit about my probs'. In the end, my belief in the serenity a good higher power offers is what calms me most. He knows me better than I know myself. cf
> I'm sorry I guess I forgot to add the XR on Effexor. That is what I have been on for the past 7 years. I never took the old effexor so I can't say what it's effects are. It did help my mind and I never thought anything could, so it was a miracle. I lost my husband to Alcoholism and went into a severe depression. Effexor XR made his death bearable and going on with my life a cinch. Before that I was suicidal. I just did'nt want or know how to go on. I hope I don't go back to where I was before but if I do I won't take Effexor XR.
> It gave me a life and I can't blame anyone for wanting to take something that can do that for you. Two years after I started taking it I went to truck driving school, got my CDL, and started driving over the road with my 6lb poodle. I loved it and never felt so close to my God before. I saw so much beauty that he had created and felt him with me all the time as my co-driver. I became unable to drive because of my fibromyalgia and back surgery after falling on the ice. I still have God and the memories with me. I still see his beauty everywhere. Maybe I never needed the Effexor, only God in my life. He has given me many blessings that I am thankful for. My children and Grandchildren(5 of them), my poodle Fergie, my mother who is still living at age 85, and a man I have known for 50 years who has become a very good friend and more in the last year. Yes I have God to talk to and others that would listen if I chose to talk to them about it. Right now God is enough and I'm OK with that. At least no one in my life thinks I don't love them. I love them dearly and they know that. I do talk to them many times a week, but mostly about them.
> I pray your family can understand what you are going thru and realize that you really do love them. I'm sure they know that anyway but it's hard on the family and they don't always react the way we want them to. Pray about it.
> God Bless, Sammi B.
