> Bambi, welcome aboard. Just know that you are not alone in all your dark days and brighter ones. Many of us here go through what you do also and are on the same meds as you.
> (((Dom)))Hi, Dominique!
Thanks for responding and sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I haven't had much time (nor energy) for 'hanging around' the site. I'm trying to stay 'afloat' at work despite the current deterioration in my condition and it's been really hard.
I'd like to know a little bit of your personal history in struggling with our 'affliction' or other details about you if you don't mind.
I think I'll also start a new thread to ask about Prozac withdrawal symptoms. I've been off Prozac for 9 months now and I wouldn't say that my current depression aren't actually withdrawal symptoms but just continuation of what had been on before I started taking it. My psychiatrist claims I can get well through therapy (I've been on therapy for 8 years now). In her opinion, meds are just concealing the real problems (at least in my case). She believes I can cope with t5his immense suffering but unfortunately I don't shaer her view on that. I've ben trying to lead a 'normal' life despite my condition: I completed my studies, I have a job, a boyfriend, friends ... but I'm not sure I'll be able to maintain all that or have a child one day.
How's your life in that respect?
I look forward to hearing from you.
PS I have to apologize for my English- if you bothered to read my note you know I'm not a native speaker and I don't think or check much while writing. Oh, one more thing: how did you come across my 'post'? Are you also a part of the 'welcoming committee'?
