Hi Mystic, Today was not a good day but tomorrow may be! Have HOPE my friend. You are doing many positive things; speaking to your doctor, finding therapy, talking to and helping others on this board, taking your meds everyday even though you are afraid. All of those things tell me that you do have hope. Just a little bit is all it takes to get ya through. Soon you will be feeling better. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Up your dose to 15mg. If you do it, I will. I am thinking that I will start on Monday night. That gives me a few days to convince myself. I know that I have to, but like you I am afraid. So let me know what you plan to do and we can go through whatever happens together. I know what you mean about being alone and feeling more fragile. That is when my thoughts are at their worst. I try to keep busy so I can't think. I also work in an elementary school with special ed kids and they do wonders for me!
I wish I could have you over for coffee and pastries so that you won't be alone. Which reminds me, I have lost 14 pounds since beginning Lexapro. I have been trying to lose 20lbs before our trip to Orlando in April. So weight gain is not a given on this med. You may not experience that at all!
Keep doing what you are doing and things will get better for you. I am proof of that. Mrs. C
