Please post an update. Hope all is well!!! :wave:

Just bmping this message up.

hi i am hanging in there....it is our 6th wedding anniversary.l We are on our way right now to Salem Ma. I am typing this on my hubbys laptop, we are in route. Last night we went to the casino and sat ring-side at a boxing match.
My depression has seemed to lift when the nice weather here arrived. I think my moods reflect being locked in the house for the winter months.
I also started Paxil again and that seems to be helping. As for my tooth, ugghhh!!! it is still coming in and i took penicillin to help ease the pain, and advil by the bottle!!! LOL....
I am slowly learning that life has its ups and downs and a pill doesn't cure life's problems. I take one day at a time. I have my good days and bad days.
Thanks for checkin on me, i will check back in later tonight when we are in our room. Today we are gonna walk around Salem, maybe take a ride to Boston.....Its gonna be a GREAT weekend, me and my hubby need this really, really bad!
How are you doing? I am glad that someone else out there can relate to my posts. What are your plans for the weekend. It is beautiful outside here in the northeast.....warm and sunny. I love the nice weather....we have been doing alot of yard work and i cleaned off the deck and set it up....ahhhh its almost summer. I actually layed out in the sun for a few hours the other day, the sun seems to help my mood too!
O.k......post when you can, i will check back later tonight and let you know how my day went. The room we are staying in is gorgeous....canopy bed, fireplace, jacuzzi......antique furniture. I am glad the weather is cooperating.
Talk to ya soon!
lots of luv,
LISA

Hey Lisa... How was the rest of your weekend? Good I hope!!! :) Glad you could get away!

double post by accident!

Glad to hear that your depression is lifting. I too feel myself coming out of my winter shell. I seem to have a bit more energy. I just got back from a weeks vacation with my sisters in Florida on the ocean and that wonderful sun did it's magic on me!!!!

Did the time you spent away with your husband help? I know you two have had a lot of ups n downs. Wish you well there.

I admire your ability to articulate where you are at in relationship to pill popping. Thanks for sharing that "Pills are not the magic cure all for everything". Many times than not I immediately think that "Oh how a pill at this moment would just make EVERYTHING all right!!!!""" Oh the allure of it.

Well here I am on a Sunday morning drinking coffee and feeling good!! My body is stuck on Eastern time and I am back home on Central time. I am grateful that I am able to be clear headed and enjoying my morning without the agony of those darned pills!!!!!!!!!

Tip tap back a message when you can and I am so glad that you feel your depression is lifting!!!

Take Care

Just bumping this up - hope all is well Lisa!
