Cajunbelle, Hang in there. Some things will depress us whether or not we're on meds. The things you are talking about would make a "normy" have the blues. I agree with nicky that the dui may be a lesson better learned at this age than later especially if there is any possibility that he has a problem with alcohol. I'm sure you will find another therapist to become your safety net and although it will seem like starting over you may get some new perspectives on your life. I also understand the dark gloomy weather having a negative effect on how everything feels. I'm going thru a divorce right now, the holidays sucked, I'm living by myself (I'm 46 and have never lived by myself) and the weather was more rain than sun, and I've had some horrible anxiety attacks and I'm just 2 weeks into Zoloft and I pretty much thought that I would be happier not on this planet. Fortunately I have a really wonderful network of support from friends and my AA meetings, my therapist and my family. Today I actually feel better than I have in 2 months. I hate it when people say this to me but it's the truth "This too shall pass". Take care
> Just felt the need to post..Not sure about what.I feel so overwhelmed with the need to cry.Days like this I cant help but wonder "Is the Lexapro really working"? My 18 yr old son was arrested this weekend and charged with a dui...My therapist that I have been seeing for the past 12 yrs just informed me that she is retiring next month...She has been my safety net through the hardest moments of my life..now what? at this moment I feel that I have no control over anything in my life and Im so afraid. God I hate feeling this way. I just need someone to vent to, someone to listen and really hear what I am saying.The weather here is dark,grey,and gloomey,and I know that has an effect on the way I feel.I am so thankful to have found this bored..A place where I can come to and express what I am feeling without the risk of being judged or ridiculed..Thanks everyone for helping in giving us all this special place :)
