Hi Louise, I'm so sorry your having to go through this.I wanted to end my life right after I fell and hurt my back. I was hurting so bad I didn't want to live like this. When I get depressed and feeling sorry for myself I think about the people who don't have a home or food and other things and It helps me. My doctor put me on effexor xl and it changed me. I was crying all the time. I hope things are better soon for you just remember you have people here that care. Love Wanda
grandmapain, I am sorry for how bad you felt after you're accident. Was it that bad you wanted to end you're life ? I am glad you didn't. I guess unless you are in someone else's shoes you can't be a judge of how they act. PS: Love the avitar!
Louise, that is great. And all of us has lived the hell you are going through. Except for the divorce, and that is what I would be going through now if I hadn't come clean with my hubby. He is the best. Try to remember that everything happens for a reason, reason being there may be a better man around the corner. But you have to get you straight first. And your son should be number one as well. But I am glad you called for a shrink appt.

Hope that getting on methadone has solved your pain and withdrawal issues. Have you seen the psychologist yet? You may still be advised to take an anti-depressant to geth through this rough time in your life. Sometimes they really help, especially since the pain medications are all depressant drugs by their nature.
I've been on Prozac for years and every now and then I decide it's not working and quit taking it. And every time I do, I wind up regretting it and going back on it. It's not a mark of shame any more than needing medication for pain.
