I lost my password so I had to make a new persona. Sorry for the absence. I had pressing issues to deal with. (Still am, really, but I missed some people here.) So here's your answers. 1. I shook the Magic 8 ball and it said "Maybe so". I hate the Magic 8 ball.. It's so inconsistent. You might as well ask a stranger.. 2. If it's diseased or causing plumbing problems, cut the sucker down. It'll be good therapy. If it's not, then just trim it and then give it a hug. Trees get peed on by dogs an a regular basis. A hug would be a welcome change.Ask CrusterMessage #5: Ask Cruster Posted by: Cjf86 Date: Feb 1, 2010.Hi Cruster welcome back. I was wondering what had happened to you. It is good to hear from youAsk CrusterMessage #6: Ask Cruster Posted by: Lukeperry Date: Feb 1, 2010. Very funny Elizabeth! Cruster asked for it, those were pretty funny. I'm glad you still have your since of humor! I haven't talked to you in a while. How have you been? Are things any better with the family? Let me try to answer your questions. 1. Yes your husband is going to get a job with medical benefits this year! 2. Get somebody else to trim, or cut the sucker down. Don't even think about it! And my info comes not from the magic ball, but my magic ESP brain. Good luck, and never worry, be oblivious to everything, like me. Luke Ask CrusterMessage #7: Ask Cruster Posted by: 77elizabeth Date: Feb 1, 2010.Hi Luke and Cruster Thank you for the heads up. I needed a laugh today. It's just one of those days.Depression Support GroupAt a loss!!!Initial Message Posted by: kikis25 Date: Feb 1, 2010.OK SORRY SUPER LONG POST BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I LET IT ALL OUT ON HERE....ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Nothing has been the same for me, its hard for me to really be happy without having this fear in the back of my mind. sometimes i feel i have no reason to live and my life will never amount up to anything. I feel in stuck and lost in a dark tunnel and i cant seem to find the light. and this all started 3mths ago. So 3mths ago i wake up in the middle of the night feeling dizzy and naseous so i get up and run to the bathroom thinking i just need to throw up, but when i get there i realize that it has become very hard for me to breath and my heart is pounding out of my chest and i have these cold sensations running throughout my body. I call for my mom and throw myself to the floor i have no idea whats going on but i was scared for my life and i felt as if though that was my last night alive! I call the ambulance and while i wait the cold sensations start to burn i start to pray with all my might that it would just pass. the paramedics get there and ive calmed down, everything seems to be fine...they explain to me that it was just an panic attack, which i had never experienced. I did mention to the paramedics that i was taking accutane and citalopram(celexa) and they thought it may have been a reaction to it. After this night i cant say i have been myself, i sometimes feel like there's t his cloud over me and the days are always gray and im in a daze...ive heard its called derealization. anyways what im wondering is was this caused my the meds i was taking or is everything i went thru as a child and teen catching up with me? as a child my mother had alot of problems with my dad cuz he was cheating with this crazy woman who just would leave him alone or stop threatening my mom. For 5 years my mom dealt with this until she finally said enough is enough....i cant remember much but i do remember alot of pain. i was 7 when they divorced, lost my grandmother, and found out i was adopted at birth. i cant say the adoption really bothered me i never felt any less loved at least not by my mother or her side of the family. in fact i felt more special!! so my parents divorced and remarried, which was fine with me i guess i just wanted them to be happy. in middle school i was picked on alot because i was short, thing is i wasnt the only short one i dont know why i was the target. Girls also made it hard for me, i dont know why i always kept to my own group. then in high school i had my first actual relationship with this guy i fell madly in love with i was sure he was the one and im more than sure the thought the same. Then one day everything i thought he was....was not. it was more important to him to prove himself to everyone..he wanted so much to be "cool" and would do anything to prove it. and if anyone stood in his way...they would feel is rage. my boyfriend would hit me on several accounts, if i said the wrong thing or if he felt i was implying that he was a weak guy he would snap. i put up with this for 3years. i never told anyone except for a friend everyone else found out on their own. i went to conseling for awhile cuz i was always mad...not sad but mad. i would smash things or punch walls when id get really upset. they put me on anti-deppressants and i was good for 2years then i decided to get off them last june then got back on them cuz i was going to start accutane which they say could cause depression. after two weeks of being on citalopram and 1week on the accutane that night occured leaving me feel helpless, hopeless, worthless and i just want to be the positiv e and cant way the future kind of girl that i once was. i am lost and dont know what to do! why do i have this fear of going insane or dying. ive always had faith in god but lately its been a lil weak and i just wanna know that if this is the rest of my life, i just wanna know there's heaven where my life will be better!! thanx for listeningAt a loss!!!At a loss!!!Message #1: At a loss!!! Posted by: amailia Date: Feb 1, 2010.Hi Kikis, You need to see the doctor who prescribed Citalopram and Accutane for you; your symptoms could very well be a reaction to these meds. Your doctor can prescribe other medication for you. Your doctor may also give you medication for your anxiety that you are experiencing. Keep posting and letting us know how you are doing. AmailiaDepression Support Groupdepressed and anxiousInitial Message Posted by: onthejourney Date: Feb 1, 2010.Thanks for listening everyone. I am almost 38 and a stay at home mom. My youngest is in kindergarten and this whole fall and winter I have been slowly spirialing down. I have all the symptoms of depression and feel debilitating anxiety. Mornings are the worst and it feels like I just can't face the day. I feel guilty for feeling like this, as I know that each day is a gift and I really do have a great life. I posted also on the grief and loss board, because part of my depression may be unprocessed grief from my past. I think I am good at going on and using denial as a coping strategy, but it is catching up to me. I am grieving my children getting older (change is so hard), the loss of my reproductive years, death of my parents, etc. I think counseli ng would help, but it's difficult to imagine where to even begin with a counselor. I want to take time to get through what I'm feeling. But what does healing really mean (question mark) I don't like the idea of going on medication, but I have been so down for a few months and don't want my kids to have this depressed mom. I fake it around them, but it's really no good. I have lost all motivation, which I hate, and even simple tasks of getting though the day like house cleaning and cooking overwhelm me. One day I actually did stay in bed a couple hours after the kids went to school, but giving in to that didn't help either. My favorite time of day is when I read and tuck the kids in bed. It is just so peaceful to snuggle in their cozy beds. Bottom line is I didn't listen to my intuition (or God's plan) a few years ago to have more children, and now I'm paying for it with this depression. Looking back, I have had anxiety and some depression at other times in my life a nd I know it runs in my family. My husband doesn't understand much, but tries to listen. I need some help in moving forward and getting back my motivation and zest for life. In writing this I feel like I am so sad the children grow so fast. Having little kids was so busy and rewarding, and it went by too fast. Sorry to ramble and thank you.depressed and anxiousdepressed and anxiousMessage #1: depressed and anxious Posted by: catiepalm Date: Feb 1, 2010.hello, please don't feel guilty for your feelings. depression is something (an ... read more »

This is a digest of messages posted to: Depression Support Group.At a loss!!!At a loss!!!Message #2: At a loss!!! Posted by: kikis25 Date: Feb 3, 2010.well citalopram was my pysch. and accutane was my dermatologist and both said they had never heard of a reaction like mine, but everyone is different. all i know is that i have never felt like this before unless triggered by something. When i was 15 i smoked marijuana for the first time and had a panic attack just like i did that night....when i tried it again samething!! but never alone and for no reason...my pysch. diagnosed me with being bipolar now and honestly im not satisfied with that to me its bull, so im gettin a second opinion from a pyschologist i found...i go tomorrow luckily ive been feeling horrible all day today. I swear last night i broke down, i feel like im gonna go crazy sometimes and that theres no way out of this. i live in a small city not too small but small enough to know somebody who knows somebody and well within this year alone ive heard of at least 13-15 suicides in young teens or early adults. This scares me...it makes me feel that if they didnt find a solution how will i? im so scared.....Can Antidepressent cause depressionCan Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #3: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: jilly0878 Date: Feb 3, 2010.It could be that the dose is incorrect. When my doc first put me on depression / anxiety medication, I had asked her how she knew that this was the right dosage for me. She explained that if the dose is too high, most patients notice that the depression / anxiety worsens, rather than improves. Go back and talk to your doctor about possibly lowering the dose. It's worth trying a lower dosage before switching to a different med...sometimes you have to wean yourself off one, before starting another.Can Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #4: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: McKay56 Date: Feb 3, 2010.First time at this site and looking for advice. Interesting that some of you are on 2 medications. My Dr. recently prescribed 20mg Celexa. I have anxiety, severe depression and occasional panic attacks. I have only been on the medication for a week. I too have lost interest in EVERYTHING. And my family does not understand my issues. I am wondering if anyone has been successful with homeopathic (spelling?) medicine/treatments. I think they may be of value (herbal supplements, balanced diet, exercise), none of which I am very good at. It is pretty hard to use exercise and fun stuff like golf, etc. to help your depression when you don't want to do even that. I am looking to any advice and experiences that can help me get out of this deep seated depressive state in which I find myself.......Can Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #5: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: jaciladybug Date: Feb 3, 2010.You know I am 57 years old, and pretty much of my whole life I have been depressed. I even tried suicide back in the early 80's. I ended up in ICU, and I feel like that was a blessing, even though I couldn't take it anymore, I had two little children that I loved dearly. Now these depression medicines, I have been on probably about everyone, except pretiz, whatever. The only reason being, my insurance wouldn't pay for it. Now let me ask, how do you find a medicine that will help? I even wr ote into a research firm, that was putting wires in people's brains to shock the negativeity out. Well, I wasn't a good canidate. I want to know, how do you find something that will benefit you, not to take it, because it will help your bowels too! I didn't want it for bowels, I want to be happy one time, laugh one time, before I die. Is that too much for some doctor to come up with? Yes, I have health issues. Three stomach surgeries, for bleeding ulcers, two to three years of blood transfusions do to the stomach surgeries, hysterectomy, gall bladder removal, obstructive sleep apnea, seizures, back, leg, hip, pain, the bowel hooked up to my stomach, and I am in a hospital bed most of the time. I cry all the time when no one is around. I have temporarily custody of my grand-daughter, no regrets, but I do not want her to know how depressed grandmaa is, so I tell her while she is watching her shows, I will go into my room, bury my head and cry my eyes out. I have never been on a vacation. Both of my kids have. My son is jealous because we have custody of my grand-daughter, because neither one of us are able to take on three kids at once. Now we offered to take one, one day, and then the second, the next day. NO. I am a bad grandma. Never have smoked in my life, occasionally had a drink, and took care of my mom when she was sick, my sister, when she was sick, and died with breast cancer at the age of 43, and took care of my father for 13 years, cleaned, mowed, shopped, bill paying, 33 radiation treatments, etc. Now I have a brother who is 10 years younger than me. Did he ever mow dad's yard? NO! Did he ever take him to one of his 33 radiation treatments? NO! But I always failed in seeing what I have done good. I never have been on vacation. I wanted to see the ocean before I died, but that is pretty much out. I am telling you, someone has to get a hold of this depression, everyone's is different, and help them. I cannot remember the last time I ha ve laughed. I got a swimming pool after my dad died. It was a above one, but my daughter had Jenna the same year. Then they moved out. Everytime I got in the following year, she would pull in, say I need a nap, and I minded, got out and took my grandbaby. I guess I was happy at that moment. Had I known what she had went through, I would of tried earlier, and now I feel like I am the neglectful grandma. What we all are wanting is a miracle. I have entered every contest trying to win a trip, or a boat, TV, for my husband. He has worked two jobs most of his life, and had polio since he was 4. We need help, not to make our bowels work better, but to be able to go outside and look around. My life is almost over. I pray I hang in there until Jenna is 18. Her and my husband are my backbone. I pray. I ask God please make me happy, if not healthy. I have come to terms, that anti-depressant medicine, is one more pill you just have to take a day. Oh, I forgot, I have high blood pressu re, enlarged heart, leaky vavle, etc. If anyone can help me, please I am all for advice. jaciladybugCan Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #6: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: artofseeing Date: Feb 3, 2010.I've been off and on anti-depressants for over thirty years. My psychiatrist actually doesn't trust them

I think they may be of value (herbal supplements, balanced diet, exercise), none of which I am very good at. It is pretty hard to use exercise and fun stuff like golf, etc. to help your depression when you don't want to do even that. I am looking to any advice and experiences that can help me get out of this deep seated depressive state in which I find myself.......Can Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #5: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: jaciladybug Date: Feb 3, 2010.You know I am 57 years old, and pretty much of my whole life I have been depressed. I even tried suicide back in the early 80's. I ended up in ICU, and I feel like that was a blessing, even though I couldn't take it anymore, I had two little children that I loved dearly. Now these depression medicines, I have been on probably about everyone, except pretiz, whatever. The only reason being, my insurance wouldn't pay for it. Now let me ask, how do you find a medicine that will help? I even wr ote into a research firm, that was putting wires in people's brains to shock the negativeity out. Well, I wasn't a good canidate. I want to know, how do you find something that will benefit you, not to take it, because it will help your bowels too! I didn't want it for bowels, I want to be happy one time, laugh one time, before I die. Is that too much for some doctor to come up with? Yes, I have health issues. Three stomach surgeries, for bleeding ulcers, two to three years of blood transfusions do to the stomach surgeries, hysterectomy, gall bladder removal, obstructive sleep apnea, seizures, back, leg, hip, pain, the bowel hooked up to my stomach, and I am in a hospital bed most of the time. I cry all the time when no one is around. I have temporarily custody of my grand-daughter, no regrets, but I do not want her to know how depressed grandmaa is, so I tell her while she is watching her shows, I will go into my room, bury my head and cry my eyes out. I have never been on a vacation. Both of my kids have. My son is jealous because we have custody of my grand-daughter, because neither one of us are able to take on three kids at once. Now we offered to take one, one day, and then the second, the next day. NO. I am a bad grandma. Never have smoked in my life, occasionally had a drink, and took care of my mom when she was sick, my sister, when she was sick, and died with breast cancer at the age of 43, and took care of my father for 13 years, cleaned, mowed, shopped, bill paying, 33 radiation treatments, etc. Now I have a brother who is 10 years younger than me. Did he ever mow dad's yard? NO! Did he ever take him to one of his 33 radiation treatments? NO! But I always failed in seeing what I have done good. I never have been on vacation. I wanted to see the ocean before I died, but that is pretty much out. I am telling you, someone has to get a hold of this depression, everyone's is different, and help them. I cannot remember the last time I ha ve laughed. I got a swimming pool after my dad died. It was a above one, but my daughter had Jenna the same year. Then they moved out. Everytime I got in the following year, she would pull in, say I need a nap, and I minded, got out and took my grandbaby. I guess I was happy at that moment. Had I known what she had went through, I would of tried earlier, and now I feel like I am the neglectful grandma. What we all are wanting is a miracle. I have entered every contest trying to win a trip, or a boat, TV, for my husband. He has worked two jobs most of his life, and had polio since he was 4. We need help, not to make our bowels work better, but to be able to go outside and look around. My life is almost over. I pray I hang in there until Jenna is 18. Her and my husband are my backbone. I pray. I ask God please make me happy, if not healthy. I have come to terms, that anti-depressant medicine, is one more pill you just have to take a day. Oh, I forgot, I have high blood pressu re, enlarged heart, leaky vavle, etc. If anyone can help me, please I am all for advice. jaciladybugCan Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #6: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: artofseeing Date: Feb 3, 2010.I've been off and on anti-depressants for over thirty years.

This is a digest of messages posted to: Depression Support Group.At a loss!!!At a loss!!!Message #2: At a loss!!! Posted by: kikis25 Date: Feb 3, 2010.well citalopram was my pysch. and accutane was my dermatologist and both said they had never heard of a reaction like mine, but everyone is different. all i know is that i have never felt like this before unless triggered by something. When i was 15 i smoked marijuana for the first time and had a panic attack just like i did that night....when i tried it again samething!! but never alone and for no reason...my pysch. diagnosed me with being bipolar now and honestly im not satisfied with that to me its bull, so im gettin a second opinion from a pyschologist i found...i go tomorrow luckily ive been feeling horrible all day today. I swear last night i broke down, i feel like im gonna go crazy sometimes and that theres no way out of this. i live in a small city not too small but small enough to know somebody who knows somebody and well within this year alone ive heard of at least 13-15 suicides in young teens or early adults. This scares me...it makes me feel that if they didnt find a solution how will i? im so scared.....Can Antidepressent cause depressionCan Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #3: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: jilly0878 Date: Feb 3, 2010.It could be that the dose is incorrect. When my doc first put me on depression / anxiety medication, I had asked her how she knew that this was the right dosage for me. She explained that if the dose is too high, most patients notice that the depression / anxiety worsens, rather than improves. Go back and talk to your doctor about possibly lowering the dose. It's worth trying a lower dosage before switching to a different med...sometimes you have to wean yourself off one, before starting another.Can Antidepressent cause depressionMessage #4: Can Antidepressent cause depression Posted by: McKay56 Date: Feb 3, 2010.First time at this site and looking for advice. Interesting that some of you are on 2 medications. My Dr. recently prescribed 20mg Celexa. I have anxiety, severe depression and occasional panic attacks. I have only been on the medication for a week. I too have lost interest in EVERYTHING. And my family does not understand my issues.
