Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Oh, he is worth it. He has a beautiful mind and a caring heart. He is on Geodon twice a day. And believe without it, he is like a wild storm. It might be time to add something or up the dose. I'll need to make an appointment soon.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Ide, You might want to see about getting help for yourself too. I had to. I had to start taking anti-depressants myself. It has helped a lot. I still get depressed and drained, but not as quick or as deep. Plus having someone to talk to outside of family and friends sometimes helps because you don't have to feel like your burdening them or that they won't understand. Talking to a therapist is a lot easier too for me since I don't feel like I'm being judged, even if maybe I am. Just a thought. We moms (and dads) have to take care of ourselves too in order to be up for the challenges we face. <<hugs>>ne From: Idelice A.
