" And keep doing the list of gratitudes, it helps alot. I recently

morning upon opening one's eyes. It's the " modeh ani " , and the rough

translation is " Thank you, God, for breathing my soul back into my body;

great is Your faithfulness. " I've been saying this prayer most

mornings, and it's amazing how much it has changed my attitude - a great

way to start the day. (I actually learned it off a CD, as I prefer to

sing my prayers.) "

What a beautiful prayer!! I tried Paxil, Lexapro, and now am starting Prozac

slowly. At least now I don't feel I am broken spirited. My body still feels

broken, but not inside. My diabetes medications at this time are Metformin,

Amaryl and Avandia.

Thank you again for the positive input.
