God I wish we got trick or treaters here. The past two years we had NONE. I dont know why....Maybe parents dont let their kids anymore...who knows, but isnt that a shame? I remember in 1981 when my parents had to check through my candy before I could have it.

Oh yes anakin I'm not that old to not be the one that also had her candy looked at the big thing when I was a child was that we never ate the apples that someone gave to us we always threw them away because we were afraid that someone would put a razor blade in it..now it is just as bad with drugs and everythign else..that is why I think people bring their kids to our neighborhood because it is a great neighborhood and they assume that it is safe...but there really isnt anyplace safe and that is sad...but I just love love love to see the kids all dressed up and all excited..they are sooo cute..we get mostly little bitty kids from 5-6:30 then the older ones but I never ever turn anyone away they are not that young for too long and there are some older kids in there for sure but as long as they are polite then be young as long as you can...hahahah...so tell me about the halloween party you are going to sounds like fun..Your friend Mystic

Just checking in again . . . I don't want to feel the "wrath of mystic" again (LOL). Just teasing, sweetie . . . you know I love you.
It has been a strange day for me . . . feeling kind of fuzzy from the prozac, but not as bad as I did on the lex.
I went to see a client today, and when I got there I found out she is living in her car. Her car is stuffed full of all her belongings, and she even has her cat in a cage in the car. I wanted to cry, but you know what she said? She told me how blessed she feels that God has been taking care of her needs and she really meant it. She is getting meals on wheels, and now she eats them in her car and feels BLESSED!! It was so humbling to think of how selfish I am and how I stress over such petty things in my life. I hope we can help her.
(((the world)))

Hey girlfriend....yup you dont want me to get on everyone again!!!!..and it is sooo nice to get up in the morning and find out how you are doing with out haveing to get on you and be mean..hahah...
The woman in the car that is very very very sad...It is strange how they find the best out of things that to us are so sad and are ...That still doesnt take away from the way that we feel if anything it helps us think but to be depressed is very hard and it takes a strong person to try and try their best to get the help that they need and to keep trying so that is so true in many situations...Please try not to think down on yourself for feeling bad because you have to deal with depression/anxiety and others have their problems...You should just think of yourself as special as being able to get past what you are feeling to reach out and help these special people...so no negative my friend just postitive thinking out of these situations ok ..ok ..ok thank you hahaha
Well I'm off to work...I will check in later and Jlynne have a great day and dont forget another day will be over on the meds soon and you will be that much closer to feeling better all the time just try to ride the storm...and you know it takes at least 6 weeks to get the optomal and hopefully best results and to think they are going to come any sooner is a little optomistic the important thing is you are that much closer....and the same to lexy on that one..Proud of both of you girls for going on to find something after Lexapro..take care talk to you soon Luvya alll...Mystic

Hey Jlynne,
I know how you feel. A lot of the kids I work with eah day have been dropped off in parking lots by their parents. They are seperated from their brothers and sisters. However, their strenght to go on is amazing. Sometimes I just come home and cry over what these parents do to their precious children. I know I am so blessed in my life and need to search within myself to find strenght as these children do.
((strenght)) (((self peace)))Love all my yo yo friends,
Lexy

Yes, lexy, it is a tough business to be in, isn't it? But the rewards are great, too, eh? If your job is anything like mine (and I bet it is) you get lots of hugs, too.
Your hugs come from children, and mine come from the elderly - - both groups are GREAT huggers!!
Come to think of it - - YO-YO's are GREAT HUGGERS, TOO!!

Hello yo-yo's,
It's so good to hear the board come back to life again. I hope it continues because we all need each others support to get through our bad days and laugh on our good days.
Happy fall days to everyone. I love the fall, it makes me feel so warm and cozy. I don't know how many of you guys get a chance to experience a New England Fall, but it is wonderful.
I hope everyone is doing well on their meds today, I know we had a couple of changes with Lexy and Jlynne so I just want to let you know that you girls are in my prayers and I hope your meds kick in really fast.
Hey does anyone know where Simus has been? What about lynneda, mag and the rest of the missing yo-yo's.
Everyone say a prayer for Mrs. C she is sick with bronchitis and a sinus infection. Please get well soon Mrs. C we all miss you. Hope you had a great birthday weekend with your family.
Love ya all,
anxious babe

You are the angel on earth I have always been waiting to meet. You are the most realistic person that I have ever come across and I am so thankful that our paths have crossed.
You are such a positive role model in my life everyday and I just wanted to let you and everyone else know how much you mean to me.
You are a wonderful friend.

A-B, thank you for letting us know about Mrs. C. ((((Mrs. C)))
As for fall days in New England, I have heard that they are breathtaking, but I have never been around in the fall back there. We have a lot of evergreens here, so the colors are not as spectacular as they must be where you are.
Simus said good-bye to us awhile back, but I am hoping she will start missing us soon. (((Simus)))
Lynneda posted yesterday in social - maybe she will drop by and say hi:~)I haven't seen mag in here forever . . . Mag, if you still read our posts, I hope you are doing well. You are the sweetest of the sweets, love.
((((Group Hug))))

Mystic, my dearest . . . I did not forget you. I came back in here several times tonight to write a post to you, but every time I started, I got distracted. I am now unwinding to go to bed and I knew I better get back in here one more time, cuz I sure don't want you to think that I am ignoring you. You are the specialest-est yo-yo in the world, girl . . . you are the sweet in sugar and the apple in apple pie. Thank you for taking such good care of us, sweetie. We were the blind leading the blind in the beginning and we held hands and made it through the tunnel together, you and me. God bless you, girl.

Hey Ladies,
Not doing so well here. I have had about 3 days of crying spells. Two of the days I was on Prozac. I have not had crying spells like this in over 5 months so I decided to get off of all the meds, dry out and see how it goes. I am just getting off my period so I am wondering if this has something to do with it. I keep thinking weird things about the boyfriend, like he does not love me because he has to study. Things have been wonderful between us so I am wondering if this is all hormonal? I skipped work today, just felt as though I needed a day to myself. Anyway, hope everyone feels good. I am hoping to be back to normal in a few days. Prayers are needed and appreciated. Thanks for everything Ladies!! I love ya'll
Lexy

Hi there. I havent posted lately because I havent been feeling so good and I hate to complain. I have been out of sorts and kind of anxious. I am hoping this will pass. I also hope that all of you are doing great. I pray for you all everday. I am still here I just havent posted lately. I am so sorry to be such a downer. I want you all to know that you are in my thoughts daily.
I am happy about my new grand daughter, Brooklyn. She is precious.
Sometimes I feel like I am losing it and I am so sick of that. I am not giving up I just get tired of feeling like this. I hope someday we all feel good at the same time that would be great. Take care all of my friends and God bless you. Ali

Hey, ali . . . take your time, sweetie. I just came back from a black hole, myself recently. But don't think that you will bring anyone down in here. If you are able to post, we would love to offer support and hugs - we have all been in the ditch before. If you are not able to post, then we understand that, too.
Thanks for posting . . . I know it must have been hard to do.

Hey everyone good to see everyone back again still missing a few...lynda..trucker..k ..em..yup just to mention them again!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey looking for some feedback..I'm trying desperately to lose some added weight between 8-10lbs to be exact..I have noticed that it settled all in my belly...I know that i work out like a maniac so i'm not sure what is going on i make it to the gym 5-6 days a week and for about 2 hours each time lately..and have picked up weight watchers and still havent budged..does anyone else have the problem mostly in the belly...I'm also the age of 42 that might have something to do with it..hahahah but just was wondering ..I'm thinking about decreasing my meds a little even though they seem to be working good..but I have very high cholesterol also that i have to go on meds for and the weight doesnt help..any feedback would be appreciated..
Hey good to see you continuing on there jlynne you were missed and it is a good sign that you want to share ...maybe because you realize you have people that care and you can vent to ..we are always here for you as you can see..we say we are leaving but as soon as someone needs us were right back at ya...always and forever...susilala..good to see same with you..you are not alone and if you feel more comfortable just reading and not always posting that is fine...we are here for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mystic,
I am going to the p-doctor today, and we will be discussing sexual side effects AND the weight I've gained in my belly. Just my belly. I have been hitting the gym as much as possible, walking my dogs, and taking in about 1800 calories a day--all to little avail. You are not the only one who has noticed this. We will also be discussing a possible switch back to celexa, because I did not have these problems while I was on celexa. I am not sure that I didn't gain on celexa, but it seems to me like it worked better.Edna

Hey girls,
Now that you mentioned the belly weight gain I have also noticed weight gain in my belly. I have gained about 13 pounds on the Lex and I think most of it went into my belly.
I have never been one to gain anything in my stomach, my belly has always been the one thing to stay flat, but not anymore. Edna I am curious to see what your p-doc says about that. Please let Mystic and I know.
Have a great day, I hope Lexy is doing better and Jlynne you sound much better.
Mrs. C are you feeling any better yet?

. . . i gained about 15lbs on the lex. I lost about five of it within a month of going off, but am having trouble losing any more.
I plan to start walking again. This must not go on!!
Good luck to all who are struggling with this - doesn't help the self-esteem at all, does it?

The connection I make to weight gain is these drugs make me incredibly LAZY. Back when I was high strung and panic attacky, I would run and run and run and never sit down...I was 145 three years ago...NOW? 180. YUCK. I have gained 10 since JUNE WEDDING!!but then again the motivation is gone. I can live with myself this way, But it sucks. I can have a hot bod at 145, bodacious bosoms and relatively flat belly, and wear a sz 8-10..Now at sz 14-16.BLAH PLUS SZ@@
