Re: medications

I would talk to your Dr. about your meds. Like you wrote this may cause some problems but there may be some underlying depression caused by emotional factors. I did the program but I still had to go on a low dose antidepressant. At least I can sleep now and it is just a one ring circus in my head in...

Re: depressing day

what you have written it appears you are dealing with a great deal of stress and life change. I would get the workbook and go over the chapters that deal with some of the areas you are dealing with. Right now it probably seems so overwhelming. Keep the communication with your spouse open. All this s...

Re: celexa

Thank you Amy for your response. I was on 40 mg. of Celexa last year due to my mother 's stage 7 Alzhiemers and I have low grade depression. It was so stressful . My aunt was also dying and when she did I felt almost numb like I could not feel. So I tapered off because I did not want to feel so zomb...

Re: constantly comparing myself to others

This really gets me down too. I have a sister in law who is just so good ( saying that in a positive way) and another sister in law who is so pretty and popular. Just have to accept I will never measure up no matter how hard I try. Most of the times this works but sometimes I get stuck and get down.
