Clinton, Have you talked to your doctor about this? Could be blood pressure, dehydration. Hugs, Karen......
FP, We all progress at different rates and times. Just strive to have a good day each day. You will move forward when you are ready. Enjoy the process or it isn't worth much at all. Live and learn......

Glad you are getting breaks Jamie, Happy about your watch. Good on you. You always make it. Keep pushing. Hugs, Karen......
FP, Vertigo can be linked to ear infections. But I got it from sinus problems one year. High or low blood pressure can cause it too. Glad to see everybody posting, Jamie, I too know you and your...
I think when you reach a certain age, you stop caring. Plus like you said, self esteem. It can be hard not to care what other's think. Also once you get enough on your own plate, you don't have time...
Hi Pitmom, I am so sorry for your huge loss. May peace and comfort blanket over you. Hang in there sweetie, we are here for you. Gentle hugs... Karen......
I'm glad you are tolerating the wellbutrin. The last time I tried it, it made me too nervous too. I have tried it a couple of times. I hope your depression lifts. I am glad your MIL has a nice place...
Oh I see, Thank you for posting that. I will look into it. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Linda Sue again... I am in Michigan too. I went to Seton Cancer Center for my radiation last year. I am doing the hormone therapy. I see my oncologist on Wednesday next week. I don't like the...

Hi Jamie!!! Hope you have an awesome day!!! Hugs, Karen......
Here is Trina's last post on the other thread. I hope everybody is having a good day today. If you look in YouTube And search engines you will find great growing hacks for all enviros. From pots to...
Thanks for understanding Anxious Meerkat. I think things are going to fall into place for you in time. You never know what a moment will bring. Have a good day. Or what's left. Hugs, Karen......
It will happen when it is the right time when you find the right person. No need to panic. Remember that this is a family friendly forum and members are as young as 14 on here. You maybe should find...
TimTam, I feel your post is somewhat inappropriate. The use of your language and your categorizing women in such a way that they are either good or evil. People are individuals and should be thought...
I agree, talk to a doctor about it. They would know better than most. But as straydog said, they have a certain criteria that you need to meet. There is only one way to find out and that is to try....
Buena, I am sorry you aren't getting any responses. The forum seems to be coming to a halt. I hope all goes well with your chemotherapy and radiation. I saw my oncologist for my six month visit last...
My breast cancer was contained too. I got the five year pill too and did 20 radiation treatments. We had music too which was nice. I didn't mind the radiation at all. I drove myself to every therapy...
A lot of people got feeling under the weather with second vaccine. I didn't though. Third vaccine I was sick for a few hours. Mostly body aches. I think different people have different reactions. I...
You need your feelings validated too. Do you see a therapist? It really helps by talking to a professional. I am sorry about your grandmother. It is hard to lose somebody to cancer. Maybe she will be...
It is most likely what you need to fight anxiety and the PTSD. Both meds are good for anxiety. Therapy too especially for the PTSD. I wish you well. Hugs, Karen......
That's my favorite time of day Lynnwood. I am sorry for your pain though. I like that time of the day because other people are still sleeping. It is quiet. Plus you get to enjoy the sun rising. Hope...
Do you have to have a reason? Can you just say no? Just a thought... Hugs, Karen......
I took lexapro for a while. It is hit and miss. I don't remember a lot of side effects but one I had was sexual. I don't remember what else. It was kind of like an add on drug for me as I was already...
Thinking of you Jamie... Hugs, Karen......
Know we are here for you hun. I am glad everything went well. Happy birthday late. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Hugs, Karen......
FP, Luna has a thundershirt and got a new one yesterday. It helps. I will look into the happy hoodie though. I have pheromone spray too. Supposed to make them feel like nursing mom is around I guess....
Thanks for sharing Tim Tam. You share so much good. You will be blessed. And thanks for remembering Joyce. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Forever, I totally understand it is hard changing. I have had some I have liked and some I haven't. I pray you get one that is the proper fit for you. I can see where it would be unsettling. I...
Yes, forever, one day at a time is all you can do. I think it is perfectly normal to get depressed in this situation. But there is always a chance your new therapist will be cool too. A good...
Staying busy helps so much. I am glad you are able to. It sounds like your attitude is fantastic! Glad you got a massage too. Relaxation, awesome! You are doing all the right things to help you get...
Thank you Forever... Means a lot. I'm sorry you have to get a new therapist. It isn't easy changing. Mine I think will be retiring in the not so distant future. That will be hard. So I can imagine...
skylar, You may have emailed me instead of Trina. I didn't answer as things are really heavy for me right now and I can't take on the extra load. I made some suggestions for you. . That is the best I...
Skylar, I see on your other thread that Trina (Bntaffraid) offered to talk to you through email. I am sorry you hate everything for there are many beautiful things in this world. But you have to be...
I feel for you. I know how scary this is. I am glad you have things planned out. It makes it much easier. I wish you the best with your surgery. I hope you have a support system. And like I mentioned...
Hey Buena, I think in your circumstances you deserve something for anxiety or sleep. You are going through a lot. I would ask. Jamie, I am sorry to hear about your mum. Intervention is good. Bless...
Skylar, I think it is really time to stop trying to please others or comparing yourself to others and start working on yourself. If you don't have one already, I think you need a therapist. The only...
I am so sorry you are facing this Buena. I think it is only normal that you feel a little depressed considering the situation. I had radiation therapy, there was chemotherapy there too. If you need...
Walking to the island sounds awesome. Lakes are frozen around here too. I can imagine how peaceful that was. I am glad you had that experience. Best wishes for a wonderful day... Hugs, Karen......
Astroman, I am sure that there are many people "worried" about the world situations. And there are many. But a lot of people have current worries within their reach and have to deal with them. We...
Hi Cathy A, I remember you from fibromyalgia forum I think. I am 63 and my memory is giving way too. Often I forget why I went into a specific room. I have to go back to what I was doing when the...
Hi Skylar, Welcome to the depression forum, I am glad you found us. If things get real bad, please go to the top of the page where it says "depression resources". There are some numbers and websites...
I get it in the muscles around the rib cage. Even if I just turn the wrong way. Hugs, Karen......
Cathy A. Have you ever tried SNRI? There is effexor and pristiq. I got severe diarrhea from Zoloft too. All the SSRIs I tried gave me some type of side effect that I couldn't handle. The meditation...
It is said to try not to worry about things out of your control. I agree it is scary though. Do have faith. I look at it as this country with all the trials and tribulations is relatively safe....
Thanks for posting back Sylkn. I am curious to see how it works for you. Seems like it is relatively new. I really hope that it works. Hugs, Karen......
It could take a while before you notice a difference, though some people feel better right away. I hope that the rexulti works for you. Keep me posted. Hugs, Karen......
