Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 , I live in an area that is not officially " endemic, " which means that there are very few fellow Lyme patients who live near me. If there were more, I'd form a support group. I, too, have felt so much worse with the abx -- and have, as I told you in an earlier e-mail, periods of terrible, suicidal depression. This group helps me a lot, but I do think it's important to have someone to " unload " to, as you say. I think your having written to the e-list and asking for help was not a burden to any one of us. Most of us have felt at least some of what you're feeling. I guess you've seen how many great, caring people there are on this list. Please stay with us! I'm relatively new (just dx in May, started abx in June), and without this group I'd be lost. I also have a wonderful therapist -- and I can unload on her, too. Do you have a therapist? Friends are great and supportive, but I think nothing can beat a good therapist/psychiatrist (the latter could prescribe antidepressants if you would consider trying them). My psych. didn't know a lot about Lyme when I was diagnosed but has actually taken it upon herself to learn about the psychiatric/emotional aspects of the disease. I'm very lucky. Anyway, I just wanted to say, again, that I'm pulling for you. Hang in there, and hang in here with us. --charlotte in vermont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
