If so, call your shrink, you need a higher dosage to deal with everything you have to deal with right now. It's not a crime to need or take anti-depressants, like all other meds they have their purpose. So please, get them and take them regularly. Believe me, I understand, I am on Zoloft AND Wellburtrin, and thank God for them, they keep me on an even keel. Having your husband have to leave can't be much help. If I remember correctly, you can always contact him thru the Red Cross, it seems to me that when my dad died and my brother was stationed somewhere (?), we were able to contact him via the Red Cross and they got him home in time. So just hang on to that, you CAN contact him in an emergency. Also, you do need support besides us, you need a network of neighbors or someone from your church to be able to help you. Unfortunately, our support is all on line and mental, which is a very good thing, but you need real people too! Cotact your church and see if they have an outreach ministry. Maybe just someone to pick you up and take you to church, which is a huge relief. My church has such a program and if I need something, there is always someone I can turn to. Most important, get on those antideperssants, you don't need to be worrying about losing your kid(s). So take charge and make your own solutions and network. We will be here to help in any way that we can, but you need to help yourself too! Please pick up the phone and make the first step. I'm worried about you and truly want to help any way that I can.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Judy, I just e-mailed margaret, but have not seen the message about her being in the hospital... (the beginning of this message). Could you please forward that to me so I could read it. She needs to get in touch with the Family Advocacy program to get some help-- Asap!
