depression

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I've touched on this subject before, but would like some more input from anyone.

I haven't worked now since last November and depression has been getting to me

more than ever. I'm taking Cymbalta, which does seem to help. But I feel

useless.

When my boyfriend comes home for lunch at 11 and I'm still in bed, I feel like I

should be cleaning or doing something, but I'm still tired. He's a sweetheart

and knows I can't do what I used to, but still, I've always worked and just

can't do what I used to.

Lately I've been hurting myself by tripping on a rock, hitting my eye on my frig

(it was the frig's fault though it stuck...lol) and had a shiner so I didn't

leave the house for a week. Then when I scrub the floor and do a super

cleaning, I pay for it the next day, bigtime!!Is anyone out there feeling like

me?

I'm almost at the end of my SS decision. They called today and want me to get a

couple more tests done next week. And my workmens' comp case is up at the end

of July. All the years I worked and was never able to go to the fairs and go

shopping, no I have time but no money or energy. That figures!!

I know so many people have it worse off than I do and I say prayers for everyone

all the time. This isn't a pity party for me, just someone tell me I'm not

loosing my mind!! How long does it take to get my mind back to a good way??!!

I know there isn't a definite answer, but would like to hear that I'm not crazy.

I'm also thinking of going to a head doctor (couldn't spell

psychiatrist....maybe that was the right way?? lol) Love to ALL.
