I'm so sorry to hear that you're not doing well, Shar. Is there anything that might help that can be done from California? In my last email, I offered to send you a care package of books, since I know you're running low. Would that help? At least help you escape a bit?
If there is anything, let me know.
I'm kinda obviously not doing all that well myself, but at least without the overwhelming anxiety, it's better than it was. Part of my problem right now is that I had an external focus -- the Agency From A Very Warm Climate -- which is pretty much gone now. (Although yesterday I got three telephone calls from one person there. NOT a great way to stay calm.) Without that focus for my upset, it's much more apparent how overwhelming the depression itself is. Especially since the agitation and anxiety are under control -- bordering on absent, actually. Thank whatever furry deity you like for a drug that I can tolerate that actually works for that little miracle.
I guess I'll put that on my list of things to be thankful for: two drugs that help, that I can tolerate, that have virtually no side effects for me. Provigil and propranalol. Now we only have to find some sort of anti-depressant that can come close to that standard, eh?
Let me know what's going on, when you feel up to it, would you? I'm sending warm, affectionate, grateful thoughts your way. I hope that helps.
