Well, I have suffered from depression/anxiety since I was in High School - so for the past 15 years I have been fighting this. My most recent problems is depression with severe anxiety. It is so hard to even get out of the house. But, I go today to see a new doc and I hope that she will help me or know of someone who will. Loosing some weight really has boosted my spirits - but it sure doesn't take care of the mental side of me. I just want to live a normal life and I am just waiting for that. I have a wonderful, supportive husband, wonderful, supportive mother and wonderful, supportive sisters. WE TALK, and talk, and talk. I think that is what makes my family so close.

I really need something for the anxiety attacks. I have taken Buspar - but it makes me feel like I wish I were not alive. That is a terrible feeling. I take Celexa and it helps somewhat - but doesn't take care of it all and it does have sexual side effects folks. (Once again, glad I have such an understanding husband).
