alone

yeah, its hard isnt. Maybe we'll have to see a T together sometime down the road, i dont know. ???? I get tired defending myself against being called that, exspecially when I know when i am being one or not.
Thanks englishteacher its been great talking with you, since it seems we have somethings alike.

Is there within fourm that a person can learn about depression, like for my hubby so he can understand what, how, learn about this?

Different meds work for different people. Don't give up, there might be something that works for you. Maybe a combination or a dual-acting anti-depressant? I hope you'll feel better soon!

I feel the same way, and it's a lonely way to live.
I crave friendships and the only ones I really have are online. I cherish my online friends.
I am on medication, and it does help keep me from worrying so much.
Maybe you should see a pdoc and see what he says about meds for you.
I have gone off of meds and I didn't do so well.
Good luck.

You might show this to your husband: http://mayoclinic.com/health/depress...5/METHOD=print

Although you husband may not want to spend the time, this lecture is great:

Good luck.

I know how you feel. I like it inside .. I feel safe here. I do not WANT to make new friends.. in fact I do not like to be bothered by the few that I have.. not close friends but people I know... they have given up on asking me to go anywhere at all and I am glad of that. Home if confort to me and at the same time I look out at the world and wonder how can they be so active and do things.

I sleep all day and night is peaceful for me.. no calls, no mail to get bad news, no bills to have to look at, no erronds to run, no make up or hair done that I have to feel bad about for not doing during the day.

I need help but I think that how in the world can anyone look insisde my body and soul and tell me not to feel this.. it is me...I have panic attacks also .. i think that is what triggered the whole depression thing..I didnt realize it was depression to the extent that it is until recently.

I hope that you and hubby are happy. I think your help has to be with you first. The husband can relate to how it makes him feel but can not relate to your inner soul and mind due to he can not FEEL it as you. I can tell you that what I think is good for us all is baby steps.. i just can not seem to take that first step.

I wish you much peace soon and all of us.
WHAT is this caused from.. childhood is what I am assuming.

Hi everyone, wanted to update to day, i did go see the doc on Monday instead of the thursday, he has prescribed welbutrin but i couldnt afford the 69.74 for it so they gave me the generic pills instead for 10.00, just started yesterday with them. He said it could take upto 2 weeks to see any change. he also said i'm in MOderate dep. But i finally taking care of it, i hope for awhile anyways.
Thanks byzantine- i will show my hubby that link, i guess if he wants to sit through it is up to him.
