Pristiq was the last one to work so we are trying that one again right now as a last shot before we try an MAOI. [trigger] all I want to do is go home and down a couple bottles of pills[\trigger]. But I can't do that to my wife and kids. So then I start wishing for a tractor trailer to crash into me so I can die in an accident. I am meeting tomorrow with a DBT therapist for an intake interview to a DBT group. Hoping that that will help me.

I can't stand being in my own skin right now. The impulses to do something stupid are getting stronger.

The objective of drugs is to release serotonin neuro transmiter in the brain which is the feel good chemical. There are many ways to accomplish serotonin release so that is probably the foundation of what you are after.

I use these in combinations. Mindfulness meditation (mind), gabrielle roth's 5 rhythms of dance (heart), and trauma release exercise (body). You can google any of these.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
