Mystic,
Hey lady, hold on, you sound like you are getting really stressed out. I know that some of your stress is coming from Sandy. I know that you love her and that you worry about her but I had to cut myself off from her because it was too much for me, I do care and want the best for her but it is hard for me to concentrate on healing and loving myself with the constant fear that someone I care about it in such a state.
Also your anxiety probably steams from anxiety, its a terrible cycle. You get a little anxious and you feel "oh my gosh its coming back" this makes you even more nervous.
15mg may not do it for you, for me it took about 20mg for two months then now I am back at 10mg doing well. I know this sucks and it is sooooooooo physcially and emotionally painful for you to not feel the relief. I would see how the lexapro goes for a little longer. I am looking for the names of the tapes right now and get back to you soon. If you need someone to talk to I will stay up all night for you!
Love you Mystic
lexy

Hey Mystic,
I just looked on the web to see if I can find the tapes that I have used. My Dad has been out of town getting our new house together so I have not been able to ask him the names of the ones he uses. I will tomorrow when he gets home.
I have been studying about for my Liscensure test to gain my LMSW so I have not posted much lately. I am thinking of ya'll and care about you.
Love ya
lexy

Lexy i;m ok..i just want some kind of relief and I find it very discouraging to think that someday real soon we might not all keep in contact and we might never know what is going on in each others lives again..I feel very discouraged as other move on and find their ways that we might not know hoe we as individuals are doing.>.i feel a conection to each and every one of you and it makes me very sad to think that there will be a new group of people that bond and we might never find each other again..I love every single one of you for different reasons and I count on you every single day and i think that very soon i might be able to help you..lexy I always wish only the best for you and Im grateful that you came into my life and changed it forever without you i probably would have given up on the lex a long time ago...When i think back I think about you and Mrs c you made the most impression on me and I'm grateful to you..I love you lexy and will always want the best for you..take care...Mystic

Oh Mystic, this is the depression talking. I recognize it well, because that is what I sounded like such a short time ago. And we all have good reasons to dread medications - we have BEEN THROUGH IT on these drugs!!! Oh, my!!! When I see someone who's doctor gives them an antidepressant sample because they just "had a bad day", I want to yank it out of their hands and stomp on it. I tell people that medication is a LAST resort, because they have no idea what they are getting into with meds.
> I will help every single person on this post to the depth of my being and i truely want everyone to be ok i love you all
We know, sweetie. We love you too.
> but i dont love myself the same way...
I know this is just the depression again. But I am going to tell you to do something even though you are low right now, Mystic, because this is the only time you can do it. You have broken the family cycle of child abuse. But you have one more cycle to break - the cycle of not loving yourself. Do not pass this on to the your daughter and grandson. Imagine them feeling toward themselves the way you feel toward yourself right now. Break it now. It will take some work. But learn to love yourself. Be kind to yourself. REFUSE to think negative thoughts about yourself, and never let negative words about yourself come out of your mouth. As a matter of fact, make a list of everything you want to be, and speak these things out loud about yourself as if it was already true.
I am going to give you a little something from the "Message" version of the Bible that tells what God thinks of you. I pray that it blesses you.
Romans 8:29 "God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. 30After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.
31So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? 32If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? 33And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? 34Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us--who was raised to life for us!-is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. 35Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:36"They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one."
37None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. 38I'm absolutely convinced that nothing--nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, 39high or low, thinkable or unthinkable--absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."

You can slack off in posting because you aren't feeling well if you want, but don't think you are wasting our time or have nothing to contribute. That's just not true. Besides, who is going to sing lead if you go away??? My la, la, shoo-wops are going to look awfully silly out there alone...

Mystic,
If you EVER think your posts don't matter...
You sent me a message about two weeks ago. I printed it and keep it by my bed. It is now wrinkled and tear-stained, because every time those thought come that try to convince me that I am not worth anything, that I don't matter, I pull out that piece of paper and hug it. It has brought tremendous encouragement.
You keep fighting the good fight of faith, my friend.

Mystic! no, you cant go! you are what motivates me to keep on contiributing, and it reminds me how helpful it is, i am feelinig a little better i know this week will be rough because of the increase im just as med phobic as you are, but i look forward to 2 weeks when maybe i will feel a little more like myself...
i talked to the bf a little last nite but not to the extent that i wanted to.. its going to have to be gradual..he did make me feel better by saying "dont worry i wont let anything bad happen to you" that was sweet, if only he had the power to make it go away! lol...its just wishful thinking but still made me smile.i just got home from his house and going to bed for 2 hours then i have to go to work, i slept at his house last nite cause i didnt want to be alone. it helped.
i love all you guys and your endless giving, it means the world to me.
one day at a time mystic, you will feel better we are increasing together.
((big hug))

Simus..that post made me weepy also...You are the greatest...I'm glad that I could help you and that something I said really hit home...You cant understand what a special person you are and the true contibution that you make I get teary after reading probably 90% of your posts...You make sure that you cover all of the things that people are worried about and explain it to them so well and you research things so that we can all be knowledgeable about them good or bad...I know that we have similar childhoods and it is so great that we have come out of it and become better people because of it ...but the sharing the you do on the posts is absolutely incredible..it is hard to find words to say thank you to someone that changes your life and reaches out and helps so many knowing that these were not skills we learned as children...I luvya Simus and thank you for being you...Mystic
