Hi Magdalena,

I can NOT accomplish anything. It has taken longer than neccesary to get to where I am now, and I still have not accomplished anything. And it IS too late. Everything has run out. There ARE no other options.

I'm just trying to let you know that there really is nothing else I can do. I'm not depressed, nor am I angry. It just is what it is. I'm deflated. I've struggled for too long, and there is NOTHING to show for it. It is time to stop and just exhale. I'm tired.

Thank you for the message. I appreciate the effort. And I feel silly that you ladies are taking an interest in me. I'll let you know how things are progressing.

Hugs,
Sandy

Hi Susielalala,

I am so touched that you prayed for me in church today. Please keep that up?? I always wear a little cross around my neck. I find that it keeps me closer to God. He knows I'm tired. But please keep me in your prayers.

Thank you for the beautiful act.

Sandy

Hi Simus,

Hi sweetie. You have a big heart! Thank you for reaching out to me.

I am soooo happy that you are feeling better now. It's good to get out of bed, isn't it? *smile*

I need to take care of a few things around here. It's a relief, but it's also such a disappointing place to find myself in. But I guess I knew it would eventually come. There never has been much strength within me. Just a statement of fact, not a pity-party. *wink*

You hang onto that "upward mobility" you're on. Ha! You are going to be okay.

Hugs,
Sandy

Sandy please, please, please don't do anything!! If you want to talk to me I will give you my email address then my phone number. Please don't do anything. You said that your daughter can't sleep at night now, well if you do that to yourself she will never sleep and will be totally screwed up. Think of her!!!!! I do know how you feel,tired of trying. Have faith and pray. We are all here for you. Please don't do anything!!!!

Sandy,

If we all told you our stories, then you would realize why we are reaching out to you. WE HAVE BEEN THERE!!!

I have never shared my story in full yet, but I will for you. I will just hit the highlights (and lowlights). I grew up in poverty, neglected and borderline abused, with depression/anxiety/OCD. But I was blessed with intellect. I graduated as senior class valedictorian, worked my way through college and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in mechanical engineering. I had it all, a great career, a good marriage, two lovely children, a nice house, etc. ...and depression/anxiety/OCD. Yadda, yadda, yadda,... couldn't even remember my middle name, no job, bills, stressed marriage, couldn't take care of myself or my children, financial and emotional burden to all, and no hope of anything changing. Sound familiar?

But the Lord put people around me to help me. I swallowed my pride and leaned on them, and they pulled me through. And, as you read in my testimony, the day is bright again. Yes, some of yesterday's doors have shut, but I am telling you as sure as I live and breath, the Lord can open up new doors if you just hold on and look to Him. Suddenly you will find that you have hope and a bright future again, and that life is truly good! It is never too late!

We love you,

Simus

Hi, I am doing very well tonight. Thanks for asking. I have been suffering from headaches most of my life. They usually come about when the weather is changing. I have been having them alot lately. I do not believe that they are related to lexapro at all. I hope that your subside soon. If they are from Lex, they should go away soon. Most of my side effects lasted about 2-3 weeks. You can probably expect to feel better in a few more weeks. Hang in there. 2 weeks is not long enough for Lex to take effect. Remember, you're changin brain chemistry! You will begin to see gradual changes very soon. Hang in there. Mrs. C

Hey Sandy, I was going to try to find you later tonight after I read all the posts. I am so glad that you decided to join our board. There are so many wonderful caring people here and we have become like a little family. I haven't read your post that got Simus so concerned. Are you up to filling me in? I am guessing that you are close to giving up and feeling hopeless. If I am right about this, I would like you to know that you need to hang on. Give the meds some time to work. You are just experiencing a brain chemistry problem that gets in the way of your ability to cope. It sucks! But it isn't hopeless. We will help you get through to the other side if you are willing. Bye for now. Mrs. C

Okay Sandy I have just gotten to some posts where you tell more about yourself. I am also a 38 year old woman with 2 children. Mine are girls. I have never felt how you are feeling so I won't pretend that I understand. But I do know that life is precious and whatever has gotten you to this place where you are now is not your fault or your children's. You need to seek help NOW! You have an entire life to look forward to and I want to know why you think it is not worth living? Please respond. Mrs. C

Magdelena, I lived in Ft.Lauderdale for 15 years before moving back to upstate NY. I will never ever live anywhere else again. Although the ocean is beautiful and the weather is warm, there is no place like home. We live in a wonderful area of the country and you really can't appreciate that until you have lived some place else. I hope some day you have the opportunity to find that out for yourself. Mrs. C

Sandy, what happened to you to make you feel this way? Did it also involve your daughter? Sounds like what you are planning to do will only make things worse for her. Please reconsider. Where are you? I have never felt so frightened for anyone before in my entire life! Please respond. Mrs. C

Mystic, thank God you are with me. How long has this been going on. I just started checking posts about 1/2 hour ago and found all of this happening. Did you read her post that Simus was concerned about. I did not get a chance to go there. Is she thinking about ending her life?! That's what it sounds like to me. I hope that we are wrong.

I'm also worried now that we scared her away. I don't want her to feel responsible for getting us upset. I hope she comes back to the board. We could be just what she needs.

Mrs. C
