Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi group ~ My pcp put me on Celexa because I was at the point that I didn't care whether I lived or died. I wouldn't commit suicide but if I died in my sleep, that would be welcome. The antidepressant is helping some but for me, the mornings are the lowest point in the day. I wake up and have to force myself into the shower and to get dressed. Right now, the RA isn't the main pain, the OA in the spine and the fibro are taking their toll. It seems like just when you get one thing under control, another something pops up to make you hurt. My husband and I are both taking a 6 - week course in Pain Self-Management. So far, I am managing to do most of the activities prescribed - walking, breathing exercise, stretching, etc. - but I still feel guilty that my husband has to put up with my moods and all the things I cannot do. I sure wish there was something - some kind of magic - that would make me feel like dancing, and smiling, and laughing on a daily basis. I never in my life thought I would end up like this. My vision of the golden years was contentment and travelling and generally enjoying life. I just turned 68 and wonder just how many more years of pain are ahead. Does anyone out there have some miracle to make the days brighter. Katriina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
