He took a break from her partly to protect her from feeling responsible for HIS happiness, or sadness, (which is something to watch for Arsene, bc she is in her own pain and you are the parent. It's our job to comfort our children, not the other way around. Know what I mean?)
Yes 25. I am well aware of that and it's constantly on my mind, especially these days. Thanks for the reminder though.
Anyhow Arsene you already sound better. And Rough, he's not a big drinker if you read his past posts. Nor do I think he lets it "consume' him for long these days. He's learned a lot.
I'm not so sure about that but thanks for the vote of confidence. Coming from you, it means a lot.
Many folks in moderate to severe depression take ADs that are known as SSRIs, which are seratonin related. They usually help with the worry and obessing we can do ("What if I had not driven that route?? Then Joey would still be alive...What if???"), and they can aid with anger and deep grief. Over time, SSRIs can help with sleep, although I always had trouble with sleep, ADs or not.
(Another thing about Wellbutrin is that it does not have the same negative affects on libido that some SSRIs have, which is a good thing).
I just got my new meds and they are SSRIs. Right now, low libido is NOT a bad thing for me.
ANYHOW...here's a big question for you Arsene, and for others.
Arsene, IF you ever felt the urge to harm yourself or another,
WHO or HOW would you reach out?
For that matter, who or how would ANY of us do so?
Ideas Anyone? Not a trick question. Totally serious.
I have to admit 25 that right now, right here, if this happened seriously, I'd be f&#ked. I have no support system around here. I have met many people over the last few weeks through my GAL but it takes time to build the kind of relationships which is needed in such an instance. The one friend I have left didn't even bother to return my last text telling him I was going through a rough patch and needed to talk (a few hours ago). I have had thoughts that I am not proud of and the thought of D8 is what keeps me in line for now. This is part of the reason I've stepped on my "pride" and asked for meds to help me out. I feel like right now, I've reached a point where I'm not sure I can do this. Cope with this situation by myself. Seeing how W doesn't seem to care whether D8 is around or not, I now wish I'd stayed in my own country, where I had some support system.
Right now, I think if the thought crossed my mind, I'd come here and share with you guys. You've been great. Reading this last sentence actually makes me feel very sad.
