Hi Rouky. The doctor increased my dosage on my Prozac but I cannot tell the difference yet. Feeling a little better these days though. Not doing so well with GAL but hopefully soon I can get out of this funk and get busy living!

Shotgun, the change may take 3-4 weeks to kick in, didn't your doctor tell you that?
Really glad you've taken action by seeing him though, it was a good step.

Avanti I feel that the medication will help me as it has really leveled me out. Only problem is that it has left me too low. I gave it six weeks and had to do something else. Called the doctor two weeks ago and he wanted me to wait. I'm on my third day of the new dosage and can't tell anything yet. Thank you for checking on me as I am really struggling. Nothing will pick me up right now. It would be very easy to do something I would later regret right now as I have women calling me and texting. I know that I am not ready and I do not want to hurt anyone. Just want to kill the pain. Not a drug user or drinker.
Rouky sadly I did spend my weekend watching TV and sleeping. I am just barely functional right now. I wish you were here to drag me out and make me have some fun. There is just so much negativity around me right now. Saw STBXW at the recital yesterday and was struck with how immature she was acting. It's amazing how a little time apart brings some clarity. Her family was very kind to me however and I was moved by that.
S13 is an amazing musician and I am so very proud of him. S's 25 and 24 are doing very well also. How do I be strong for them? I know that they are watching me and they expect me to fight through this. Please pray for me.

I think you need to give your medicines time to kick in. I'm trying a more natural approach, still can't see no effect! Probably not enough illegal stuff :-)!
About that negativity thing, can you tell me more? How is work? How is your interaction with your boy? We need to look for everything and anything that brings a smile on our face!
I need your prayers Rouky. Very little makes me smile these days. Work has been OK though. I'm a little worried about the colder weather that is coming and having to work in it. Hoping that I will find something to do that is inside. My son is having a rough time with the shared parenting. It can be pretty inconvenient for him. He is finding his voice though in stating what his wishes are. Very proud of his strength and intellect.
The negativity is in the many relationships that have failed in my family in the last year. It is so hard to observe the carnage that is going on here. So many broken hearts and bad decisions. As is the case here at DB, every story is the same. One spouse couldn't meet the emotional needs of the other so they had an affair. It's is just all so sad.

Feeling a little better today. Got a couple of small things accomplished regarding D. Got some work done in the yard yesterday and back at it today. cleaning ladies came and got things looking good in the house. Best $45 I've ever spent!
Starting to see STBEW for what she is. Maybe I am healing to a small extent. Therapist is telling me to get out and do something and to stay away from negative people. I am always amazed at how positive some of the people here can be considering the pain that they endure.
God Bless you all and thank you for your prayers!

Rouky you have been so helpful. I don't know where I would be without you. Mostly I appreciate that you keep checking on me. Wish I could do more for you.
