Here we go again

Well, as much as I hate to, I'm going to have to start taking my antidepressants again. I honestly wish there was a happy medium. For the past few nights I've been crying for no particular reason. None at all ( Read more... )

It is not all your fault. It's not your fault the school district is so bad, for example. No, your kids don't have things, but they have YOU. They love YOU. They would rather have YOU and eat free food and wear Walmart clothes than live high on the hog and not have you. You know it, too. Oh, rah, real TV but mom's gone. What sort of a trade-off is THAT?

There are choices and choices. Looking for part time work again is a good choice.

Teach the kids a new game called 'treasure hunt.' You start in one room and do a scorched Earth on it -- each item in the room is for one of four piles: Keep, trash, give to a friend who needs it, eBay. A project started over a year ago and not touched should not be in the keep pile. You're NOT going to get to it. One room each week. You'll feel better once you've done it, and the treasure hunt may turn up real treasure!

It just sounds miserable. Just miserable. I wish I were more help. ((hugs))

:-( darlin'. i hate you sounding so upset. sadly, when coming off them, it can show why one needs to be ON them. couldn't a lower dose work? talk to the psych, maybe ( ... )

I'm sorry sweetie. I wish I could help you guys out because you're GOOD and you don't deserve to be going through all of this crap.

I guess with all the heightened good sensation that comes with being off meds, bad sensation eventually creeps in.

Hang in there, your family loves you and NEEDS you there, money or no. And so do we. *hugs*

None of this talk of "accidents!"

You're going through some seriously hard times, but you all have each other and if you stick together you'll get through it. Your kids have fabulous parents and that's a hell of a lot more important than TV. TV is crap anyway!

I hope the meds help you to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I hope you get an evening job, that'll help too.

You haven't failed miserably, and you haven't made all the wrong choices. It just seems to be some kind of universal constant that the best people are the ones who have to deal with the most shit. You're paying the price for being wonderful!
