im too tired to write. had a bad day. theyre not going away any time soon it seems. it started with someone telling me to face my problems like a grown up. so insulting. so insulted.

Well, whoever said that must not realize that adults have great difficulty facing issues as well!

Just keep talking to us and again, I urge you keep talking to a therapist and make sure your doc knows how your meds are working.

Try and relax tonight and baby yourself ((Manda)). :hug:

Manda I am sorry today was a hard tough day for you..but.. that is a stupid thing to say. How can one face promems like an adult when it is very possible those problems are new and bring new unknown feelings worries and thoughts to the surface??
Please just try as hard as you can to let that coment slide off you okay . beside you look like a young lady just learning about being adult....so I say who ever said that should ACT like an adult . Adults have problems all the time that are new and they dont know whow to handle or face them. Any adult who dose not have that happen is lying.
Go to your post of 40 things and do a few of them, do something fun or get some needed rest cus you have earned that.
when you feel like talking we are here. Take care of you honey dont worry about anyone else.

PEACE

Hey, Manda! :) Just my two-cents-worth, but there usually really is a lot of life laying around for those who can see it! I know I've been in the mud enough times to be blinded by it completely, but the tears do wash the muck away, and can make us see rainbows! Sounds corny, I know, but I've seen it happen! I hope only the best for you, and especially that you learn to love yourself again! :hug:

I will beat this.
I will not give in.
I will find happiness in myself.
I will find happiness in the world around me.
I will accept the bad.
I will accept and remember the good.
I will learn what kind of support I need to give myself.
I will learn what kind of support I need from others.
I will be the person I know I can be.
I will have bad days.
I will have good days.
I will remember the good days.
I will learn from the bad days.
I will learn to separate my emotions from others.
I will not seek acceptance from others.
I will not continue to dive into other people's emotions and make them my own.
I will be the Manda I love and know I can be.

I will be beautiful inside and out. And I will make the world a better place because I am in it.

It's taken me a long time to say this, but thank you for the insight. I don't think Prozac is the drug for me. I think I need to try something new. I'm frustrated with trying and trying, but I'm starting to realize that even though I'm tired, my efforts will pay off with the right meds.

THANK YOU DAVID

At the star of a day the mind and body is techniquely more able too cope, as the day goes on and if your not eating enough, or drinknig enough water your body and mind begins to naturaly tire. This is when we naturaly feel more vulnerable. Eating regularly, drinking 5-8 glassess of H2O and if you can find the strength exercise...it helps to strengthen you holisticaly...

I'm no doctor...its just an observation but i notice you said you are taking prozac.
WARNING http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100002193.htmlI
Depression and other psychiatric illnesses are associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and suicide. You should be aware that this medicine may not start to make you feel better for at least two to four weeks. However, it is important that you keep taking it in order for it to work properly and for you to feel better. If you feel your depression or anxiety has got worse, or if you have any distressing thoughts, or feelings about suicide or harming yourself in these first few weeks, or indeed at any point during treatment or after stopping treatment, then it is very important to talk to your doctor.

I WAS PRESCRIBED THIS TABLET 15 YEARS AGO AND IT SENT ME BARKING MAD and lead me to my attempted Suicide...this does not mean it will have the same effect on others...but if your feeling lower than usual, speak to your doctor and tell them your darkest thoughts....there are other meds in the same group that have less hairy side effects....im on Sertraline[Zolfot] which by the way has good results on OCD....

BUT DONT STOP TAKING THE PROZAC...speak to your Dr before ending any meds.............

A bit of a cry for help tonight. I spoke with my psychiatrist today and we're going to take me off of prozac. Please help me be patient. I hate trying new meds and new things. I just want SOMETHING to work. I convinced myself prozac was working even though I KNEW it wasn't ...because I just wanted SOMETHING to work.

Please support me (I know I don't have to ask but...) as I go through this whole process again....

Much love

Manda

:hug:You got it Manda...:hug: I know the feeling. You just want it to end. Hang in there and keep reaching for some hugs, and reading and writing, and praying or meditating, whatever it is you believe in. We do care, and we do understand. :hug: Let us know what he decides to try. My son went from Celexa, which wasn't helping him to Effexor, but, he had to get to a crises point too before realizing that the Celexa wasn't working for him. Thank goodness I was able to help. The Effexor is making a huge difference for him. I am unable to take AD's because I am medication sensitive, so I find other ways. Take care dear friend. :hug:
