Kiya,

IMPORTANT: IF YOU SUDDENLY STOP COLD TURKEY ON ANTIDEPRESSENTS IT CAN PUT YOU INTO A VERY VERY BAD MENTAL STATE. MOST MUST HAVE A WAY TO TAPER OFF FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY. (NOT YELLING AT YOU, VERY CONCERNED. I DID THAT ONCE ACCIDENTALLY BY FORGETTING TO PUT THE PILLS IN MY PILL BOX ONE WEEK AND WE PLUNGED INTO SUICIDAL DEPRESSION VERY SUDDENLY. WE FIGURED IT OUT, BUT IT WAS A SCARY MISHAP)

Please be careful of yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish you could find a way to explain how important it is to not mess up with the food stamps money. That can put such stress on you when the money is gone before the month is over.

Maybe you could find some non-food treats or fun for them and pamper them a different way so you can get better food for the body you share. I used to have a box of "special" toys for my daughters as a form of time alone with mom. They really loved getting to spend alone time with mom and get to play with the special toys. The toys were cheap little guns that shot suction tipped darts and some toy soldiers and some make up and dress up things - special means anything they don't get too often.

You matter, please don't do something that may harm you by making your brain chemistry suddenly drop certain levels of important things - like serratonin(misspelled i think) and norepinephrin.
