Ya know, Prozac isn't the ONLY antidepressant, my friend. How about Cymbalta? That only takes 2=3 weeks to begin working, and it even has pain relief properties in it. That might work for you. I haven't had ANY side effects from it. I've been on it quite awhile now -- iin fact I'm on the maximum doseage, which is 65mg twice a day, or 130mg.

Don't think that society doesn't disturb ME too!

And I was always different in school. I never had any friends -- I was too "weird" I guess, and I isolated" too much. I was shy too. Which brings us to adulthood and I have no friends NOW either. I can't work now, but that's cause I'm disabled. I did work til I was 44 yrs old. And I'm thin-skinned. I tend to take things personally too, and get my feelings hurt easily. I'm NOT telling you this to make you feel better. I was in therapy for YEARS off and on. I had lots of issues to take care of. LOTS.

I was sexually molested, and my therapist didn't even believe me cause I couldn't remember when it happened!!! Ummm, maybe trauma had something to do with that?? sheeesh.

So I've had my problems and Ii don't feel particularly "worthy" of what I have. I guess that's what I mean. I don't know. But I'm better than I used to be and I'm not as depressed as I used to be by a long shot! Give the meds another try --- please? You WILL feel better. There's all KINDS of them out there, and there might just be one that will work for you. God bless & PLEASE take care.

Hugs, Lee
