Hey, guys . . . I need someone to tell me again that it will get better. It has been a very long week with the grandkids, and it is a good thing they have all gone home now, because I think I am starting to crash again. God, it hurts!

> ...jlynneHi jlynne,
I have posted on the other board but this is my first here. We are around the same age as I am also through menopause. I have been fighting this anxiety/depression for almost 2 yrs.I have 3 grandchildren who live close & there are days that I simply cannot keep them. They make me so nervous.I have finally learned to look out for myself instead of worrying what people think so I keep them if & when I want to. I enjoy this new post.

Mystic, thanks for responding. I just got up - it's noon here.
It's just that the tears and the pain and the hopeless feelings are starting to come back again.
I can't decide if I need to increase, or maybe decrease, or give up and try something else. I have been at 15mg for a couple weeks now, and the s/e's haven't got better since the increase; I am afraid they will get worse if I go to 20mg. I am just so tired of this medicine game.
Thank you for caring. ...jlynne
P.S. Thank you to everyone else who has responded to my post. Please, forgive me if I am not up to answering each of you separately right now.

Mystic, you are going to be just great tomorrow, I know it. You are such a kind, giving person and I know everyone who will be at the party knows that, too. The focus will be on your daughter tomorrow, so all you really have to do is to let it happen. We women are very good at taking care of each other, you know, and everyone there will be of help to make it a wonderful experience for you and your daughter. Your daughter is very lucky to have you for her mother.
I hope you are feeling a little better. Maybe tomorrow you could visualize that everyone here will be there with you making you feel safe. I did that on the freeway the other day; all the people in the other cars were people from this board, and I felt really safe inside; I even smiled.
I am doing a little better. My bed looked very inviting a little while ago, but I opted to stay upright, and then I started my laundry and dusted my living room. It helps to be doing something constructive, I guess. Now I am going to see how much encouragement I can get out of the vacuum cleaner [LOL].
I hope you have a gentle evening. Be good to yourself tonight:)

Thank you for the encouragement it is just what I needed I have to go out and do some errands that I have been putting off all day...And you are right I will try to visualize that you are too funny that is a great thing to do...I hope that you are feeling good and I know you will get better just be patient...I hate to post bad things when I'm feeling them because I want people to feel better but sometimes it just helps to get it out...Thank you again and you my friend are a kind and wonderful person that i'm very grateful I have found..your an angel..Thanks Mystic

Hey, Mag, you are so charming on this board, I can't see why anybody's family wouldn't just love you to pieces! Besides, they are probably worried about if YOU will like THEM:~)
It's been my experience in meeting other people's girlfriends/boyfriends that what is important to me is how they feel about each other and how they treat each other. From what I can tell, you and your boyfriend seem to care about each other, and that will show.
You might also ask your boyfriend to stick close by your side - I know I hate to be left alone with strangers.
But as long as you don't punch one of them in the nose or anything, you should be fine:~)
Good luck. I look forward to hearing how it went tomorrow. ...jlynne

Jlynne, I am so sorry that you are feeling bad today. Maybe the grandkids just plain tuckered you out. Try to get some rest and hopefully things will be looking up tomorrow.
Things will get better and I am living testimony to that. I have felt myself crashing many times and it always gets better! Many others on this board have also felt the way you are feeling. You will come out of it and you will be stronger for it. You must take care of yourself though. Get lots of rest, lots of quiet time, vitamins, plenty of water, exercise, and try to have a little fun, too. Spring is just around the corner and that always makes things a little brighter. Look forward to a wonderful and happy future that is coming your way. We are all here to support you. The board always gets quiet over the weekend. I will check back with you tomorrow. Mrs. C

Hey, I just wrote to you a few minutes ago before I read this post. I feel so bad that you are going through this the night before the shower. But let me just say this....
You have been anticipating this event for awhile now. You have been worried that you would mess it up. It's a very important event for you and for your daughter whom you love and want to please. Am I right so far?
Okay...it is completely normal for you to be nervous. Any person would be. It is not because you are not capable of this, it is because you are a normal mother who wants to make her daughter happy. I honestly would be nervous too. Does this mean that you can't do it? No, it doesn't. You can and you will. I know that you will make this a special day for your daughter. She knows what you have been going through and I am so sure that she appreciates how difficult this is going to be for you. Remember, it's OKAY if you make a mistake and it's OKAY if you are not perfect! You are a wonderful and loving Mom and that is what people will see tomorrow. I have so much faith in you Mystic, I really do. I remember not so long ago how fragile you were and how you wanted to give up. Now I see a much stronger woman who has hope again in her life. Applaud yourself and try not to look back. I will talk to you again in the am. Your friend, Mrs. C

Hi Mag, good luck in Toronto tomorrow. It is a very beautiful city and I hope that you will be able to enjoy it. Jlynne just suggested trying to visualize that everyone around you are friends from this board. Maybe that will help. Maybe some day we can all have a reunion or something. Lets go someplace warm and tropical. Oops, kinda got off the subject here. Sorry. Just wanted to give you some support for your day tomorrow. I will be thinking of you. I will be in Niagara Falls at the casino. We will be close. Talk to ya later. Mrs. C
