Hi,

Don't give up. It may seem like the world as you know it is dieing right now but once you're gone, there are no take backs. All those who are not talking to you now will be wishing for the chance to tell you something. Counseling would be good for you even if the others won't go. Start managing your depression first then work on bettering your relationships.

I myself have Diabetes, Hypertention, Factor 5 Lieden which is a genetic blood clotting disorder, and now I just found out i have MS. And if that's not enough I have 4 kids with ADHD and 3 of them are Bipolar, and the youngest is deaf in one ear and can't hear high pitched sounds in the other ear.

My girls have given me a run for my money. There were times i didn't want to go on. I even spent 2 months in a psych ward getting ects for my major depression. Every life is worth someting. If you feel so bad please get help. It does get better. You may not see that now but it does.

Your friend Traci

hi! i am a combination of illneses, i say the assorted amount of choices, from psychitz, to bi-polar, to thought disorder. and i hope that i did not jar or scare my tdoc last week, but it seemed so. which we are going to speak on on this next wednesday at 1pm, every wednesday, she says until i don't need it or if it becomes a crutch, in which, i would see it before it happened to. i am on lorazapam, klonypam, i take seroquel in two forms. among some for other verious reasons. i usually don't have pain, except the last month, my thumb, is full of author, and my doctor put me on celebrex, now 6 days, and i can stretch my thumb out, but apon awakening, i must pry my hand open. i cry it hurts so badly.

anyway, the meds i take now to keep me being nice and able to do regular tasks, my dr. says my pdoc has given me a great combination of meds. i felt so good from hearing that, you can't get much better.

we have a medical company who comes to see my 84 yo mom every week, and they say no matter who, if anyone wants to differ about how i care for my mom, to ask them, and i felt so good. no other daughter could be any better with what we have to her mom, than i am as a daughter, to my mom.

now, i was going to write to my congressman, the one from Ennis, Texas. Joe Barton, and ask him if he might help me and Mom get a desent offer on an amount of rent to pay, since the Ike and Katrna have FROZEN our SECTION8, we have been out and around Ellis and Navarro counties searching for the last 4 months, to find a suitable appartment. but if we qualify, it happens when we are not able, we  were able once but they called back that i had a bad rent history, but i have been right here for the last 18 years. this place is not suitable anymore. there is so much wrong with it and it is so out of range to the places we need access to.  i mean, she has her own room, and bath, and mine is on the other side of the kitchen. but we have no carpet, or linolium. the electricity is less than is needed. we are cold now, with three and more layers of clothes on, to save the electricity.  three months ago, the hot water heater broke to give us a 571 waterbill and a 242 gas bill. the community services paid the gas for us bless their hearts, and we are paying a 100 over every water bill amount each month, so we don't qualify to have a deposit if needed. so i have gotten absolutely tired now. keeping up with all the paperwork is breathless.  i have not rented anywhere in over 18 years.

i love my mom with all i can and she is the best to me.  if you have any ideas, we sure could listen.  i promise, if we didn't really need the help, i would not ask. when, or if anything happens to mom, i will then be kicked out from loss of being able to continue to mantain. and the landlord said to mom, that if she were not here, he would not of fixed my hot water heater, and i would be forced to be homeless. he said if i could give him ten thousand, i could have it, and then i could get help on the taxes to keep up the place. otherwise, i don't know what to do if we are to stay healthy or if not. i pray, we go to church at NEW BEGINNINGS every week, and i am really serious about if we can fine a reasonable home.

i always am told never to ask for any kind of help like this, but i get so nervous, and depressed, i need to know what is going to happen.  we have registered at 6 or so places. three called back, and we went so far as to get all the utilities changed over, then the rent history came back on us, and we never rented except over 18 years ago.

i try to stay comfy, but what happens if he wants us out? he won't talk normally to us.

seriously, Merilus

Oh ya I forgot to mention that my husband thinks that I am making it all up and that I just want to be mean

does anyone know if it's possible to go to a walk in clinic to change your anti depressants?

I ask because it is next to impossible to get to my doctor, but I'm running out of options..

If you are at the end of your rope, then I guess going to a walk in clinic is worth a try.  You really need to find a good psychiatrist though.  Why is it so hard to see your doctor?  If you have seen your doc recently, you might be able to call him/her and get the script changed over the phone.  Are you on a mood stabilizer along with your antidepressant?

I wish you well.
