2nd worst day EVER!!!

I'm already on some stuff. I didn't say what I did to make anyone worry, because it's not a fight I'm going to lose, if that makes sense. I just understand the struggle, and that it *is* sometimes a daily, hourly struggle.

Mental illness is so poorly understood in this country and kind of a modern day leprosy, if you will. And it shouldn't be. It's no different than diabetes or high blood pressure, other than that it is poorly understood.

OP, I'm so glad things seem to be doing better. It's awful that meds that once worked well will stop working over time, or dosages need adjusting up or down. Makes the struggle that much harder.

Hang in there,

So Sorry you are having to go through this- I struggled with a chemical imbalance a few years ago- Think it was brought on my extreme stress. I've had two holes in my stomach and almost bled to death and I ruptured a disc in my back and have had the spinals , therapy and surgery and all the pain that goes with it. I would take the bleeding ulcers or the broke back any day over the chemical imbalance. That is the most miserable experience I have ever went through. But I Did make it and the only thing that kept me going was knowing that it would get better if I just waited it out. Also I knew that I couldn't leave my son here without me. I didn't consider suicide only because of my son. But many times I thought how nice it would be it I went to sleep and just stayed asleep forever . They first put me on Prozac which really made me crazy- I went to my family doctor who switched me to Effexor , Which was much , much better (for me) ..
When the chemical imbalance came to a head - Everthing bad that had ever happened to me ( Which I thought I had got over) flooded back Like it had just happened yesterday.

Hope your Husband will get better soon and also like one of the other posters said- Make sure you take care of you. I'm really sorry to hear about your baby too. My prayers and thought are with you !!

Things will get better just keep your chin up and stay relaxed, things will resolve themselves. With time patience and love, those are the keys to getting thru this time in your life.

Be well and remember to take care of you, as much as you can. It makes all the difference, that way you dont burn out. And you have many friends here to support you if you need it.
