My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

"I'm on the cusp of being depressed enough to affect my functioning in spite of meds. And that's frightening to me."

Hoosier, you're having a rough go and that is a good reason to go and talk meds with your doctor. Sometimes a little increase in what you're taking or supplementing with something else can make a difference and every little bit helps right now. Your doctor can help with that. I'm not saying meds are the entire answer but they are a tool God provides for us in times of need.

oh, I have no issues with taking depression meds. especially when I take a generic!! and I have a MD appt next week, and increasing/changing meds is on my list of things to discuss. She and I have been through a couple of marriages, a couple of divorces, and a few kids together over the years--I met her when she was an intern, and she's been my doc for almost 30 years (give or take temporary insurance-mandated changes). Nice to have someone who knows me that well.
