If it's not to late to sign up, I'd like to give it a go. I'll post in the thread.

Absolutely. Thanks to Albatross to about the article link. If anyone checks out the site it's on, you can also look up different antidepressants with "tapering off" plans specific to each antidepressant. I'm on Cymbalta, and it had a plan for it specifically. Keep going Ms. Spock, so many of...

I deserve to feel hopeful.

To remember that I slept poorly last night so that if I start to get depressed, I can remind myself that there's a reasonable explanation for things.

...when 7/11 convenient stores had a pinball machine! (then, Atari machines...80s). ...when Pluto was still considered a planet, and a tomato was still a vegetable.

Somehow I keep pushing through.

Three of my four cats joined me for my cat nap: one on my side, one at my side, and the other atop the couch. Purrfect bliss.

I'm feeling better than yesterday and this morning; I'm wary but hopeful.

Go shopping for some vitamin supplements. I'm trying to see if I can avoid adding a second medication by focusing more on my nutritional needs.

Unfortunately, a little lost and very rattled.

Glad to see your pushing through this!

To me, the mental fogginess is what frustrates me so much. I try to remember to wash my face -- if walking my dog or doing some yoga doesn't help me. Sometimes doing a quick household task helps me "re-set." I have hardwood floors with a dog and four cats, so sometimes I sweep an area...

I was on it for three months; I just got off of it. Positives: I did get good sleep without feeling foggy when I woke up. It did help with the anxiety. Bad news for me though: I gained almost 30lbs in 3 months. Weight I couldn't afford to gain. Definitely weigh yourself regularly. I'm in...

It's so good that your reaching out for perspective. Do take good care of yourself. (((hug)))

I've managed to better my sleep, but in the years closest to the most recent assault, I had to take Trazadone (sp?). I'm still on an antidepressant, Cymbalta. The trazadone helped with sleep, but, it did make we foggy for a couple of hours after I'd get up. To adjust, I made certain I could...

Walking my dog today, I saw two young men approaching with their own dog on a leash, and a puppy cuddled in the arms of the other man. I moved my dog out of the way ahead of time to make ample space for them to get by us. I'm always wary around men in general and young 20something men...

This is so true. I've had friends who also have PTSD and my boyfriend as well as I have PTSD. The only reason my boyfriend and I have made it ten years together is due to the fact that we both work toward improving ourselves, which means actively working toward changing our maladjusted coping...

I wish I could offer advice, but I hope things work out. How confusing that must be. I hope a supporter (I'm a sufferer) can offer some advice. Mine would be to always take care of yourself regardless. (((Best)))

I'm a bit relieved because I got through today without too many hitches, but disheartened because I have much to do tonight and I'm tired, wondering how am I going to get everything done on time. 99Phoenix99, your dream and love of soccer and having to give it up touched me. There are true...

I'm very anxious this morning and I'm not sure why -- so I'm confused too.

I'm very anxious this morning, so my goal is to try to get through my classes and work on calming down.
