Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 You know, I can't imagine life without this list now. You guys have been so incredibly kind and supportive, and understanding. I am not out of hot water yet, but believe me, I owe much of my survival to the support of this group. At this point I'm seeing my new psychologist 2x a week, and my GP is monitoring my meds closely, getting me off the Pills of Death (aka Prozac), and onto new ones that will hopefully do a better job. I won't lie and say I am fine. I'm not. But I'm HERE, and there are times when that is the best you can ask for. Em, We are all very thankful that you did not commit suicide. You are a strong person. You were at a bad time in your life and I firmly believe that Prozac had a lot to do with it. I took it for about a week and I was hostile, nasty and just about every bad thing you can think of. My husband was just about driven out of his mind. He didn't know what was wrong and why I turned like that. I quit on my own and am back to my normal world. Of course, I still have times when things are bad and flares are there that I am hard to get along with but at least we know why and I am not like I was on the Prozac. We are all doing the best we can and that is just about all we can do. I have to try and learn to cope better but it is hard. Diabetes coming along did not help the mix but as BG is coming down things are better. Hang in there, Em. We would miss you if you left us. You are a good support person yourself. This is a very caring, loving and supportive list and you are a major part of it. Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman.
