Ayla,
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. Be sure to keep in touch with your pdoc on all your medication ideas. He may also have some other insights.
Of COURSE you can post when you need help! Most people here seem to go up and down, but some are always up and some are always down. Don't count the words or posts that you give and get - you don't have to "earn" for people to post to you. Just do what works for you.
Hope you are smiling more than on Friday. Eat ice cream, swing on the swings at the playground, take a bubble bath with candles around, roll down a hill, pamper yourself, be good to yourself.
Keep in contact with people - make sure you see at least one person who matters a day (not the clerk in the store -a friend, neighbor, relative, coworker, someone who knows your name on sight) and talk to them for at least 3 minutes. Do this every day.
Be outside for at least 10 minutes a day (standing on your front steps with an umbrella counts, walking is better, going where there are people is also good)
Eat nutritiously. Get 7 - 9 hours sleep.
Post frequently.
It will get better.
