Hi gang,

All is well, had to do a business trip to Miami, but it sure felt nice to be away only for a couple of day's. Spent today with my son and doing car stuff and it felt AWESOME.
Well back to work in the am and hope everyone is doing well.

Kradle, I too am on Antdepressants. the al so helps with the aniexty and that is why I am where I am. I too need to soldier on. Great post mama.

I am sorry that I don't understand what u are going through. I took an antidepressant years ago and I hated how it made me feel so I drank instead...that didn't turn out well either....All I can do to help is listen/read....

Follow up with the cardiologist tomorrow....

Good Morning all - I was on AD's too, for many years and then came off them for various reasons - but feel that I might need to go back on them - except it was really hard back then to find one that worked for me without terrible SE's - the one that did work for me the FDA said one can only take 40mg of it - I was on 60mg and 40 doesn't hack it for me.

Meggie - the Rhodiola is a herbal thingie that can help take the edge off and I got some yesterday and am hoping that it will help. I am also going to be talking to my therapist on Thursday via Skype! It has helped me in the past and I am hoping I am not too far gone for it to help again! :happy2:

Got to get ready for work - running a tad behind this morning and want to get food ready to go with me as I am there for a bit longer than usual today ....

Hugs to all, sun XXX

I think being in our fifties or there abouts qualifies for some type of Loony Pass!!!!
everyone except for K9...I think she's the baby of the group.
I miss Reccie and Zenny lease:
off to work
May peace be with all of us today.......

[mama bear]

Suuny...not sure what you were taking but time released Paxil is helping me
12.5 mg in the and 12.5 in the evening

[fennel]

Niner is the baby of the group. I'm thinking of you today, K9. :heartbeat:

Kradle, Sun...so sorry about the depression and other psych issues.

Sun, can you check with your m.d. about ADs? I know there is a first cousin (on a molecular level) to the AD you were on that you might try. I hope the rhodiola helps.

A very grey and gloomy day today...but, pretty in it's own way. I am the only person I know who loves the pewtery greyness of the winter sky.

[mama bear]

Grey and gloomy does not sit well with this girl, unless I am tucked into bed with a good book
Fenny - you may have a streak of Edgar Allen Poe in you!!
SO - I get to work. I am called by my boss to meet her an hour north at The Ritz Carlton ( can't complain) and have drinks and visit. She is in town for a conference...I am not driving......I refuse...so I am riding with another manager
grrrrr...I am such a creature of habit, but have decided to enjoy the view of the ocean with friends...its' very desolate and lovely up there

[fennel]

Geez, mama...your boss starts hitting the toddies early!

Can you take some pics of the desolate beauty?

[K9Lover]

Good morning everyone!

First of all, THANK YOU Glassy for your thoughtful post. I KNOW that Sierra is doing what's best for her, and she says it has nothing to do with me...so I am adjusting. She WILL be back...and she's only moving 35 miles away! We sat on the couch last night and cried and hugged, so I guess that part is over. NOW we just need to load up her dads truck at 2pm today, I am off at 1:30. I did not drink over the weekend. I refused to be drunk her last nights home...so I feel good about that. We went to a movie on Friday, but the restaurant we wanted to go to afterwards had a line out the door so we both said "I'm not that hungy" and we just skipped it. LOL Pizza party with family was fun. All the aunts and uncles were there and they gave her cards with a little $$ in them. Sunday was her teen party, I ended up not going because there were no other parents and I wanted her to just have fun with her friends...I have to stop hovering right?? LOL She had a blast and they got her a card that had about 50 signatures on it. And at school on Friday her "class" that she was teachers aid took a group picture and all the kids signed it. She truly is loved by a lot of people around here...she may realize she misses it....anyway, I am FINE...tomorrow is a holiday, so I will tuck up with a book all day!!

Kradle - Sorry you hare having such a hard time, but I am so glad you got to talk to Matthieu!!!

Someone made the comment about the fathers feeling the "empty nest" syndrome harder sometmes and I do think my dad did...he is the one that is always reminiscing and missing his "little girls". Whenever he goes to the beach he texts us that he's enjoying the sand and surf and the only thing missing is his girls running through the waves...

And maybe I am the "baby" of the group, but can I please get a Looney Pass too? LOL

My thoughts are with Nursie tomorrow. If anyone talks to her, please give her my love.

My mom is having cataract surgery on her eye in the morning, they did the other one 2 weeks ago, it only takes 20 minutes and she will soon be able to see well again. It was getting to the point where her bifocals were distorting her depth perception and she fell a couple of times. One time we cracked up so hard because she fell and there was a lipstick (a perfect kiss) mark on the sidewalk....we only laughed because she DID not get hurt. But hopefully she won't be kissing the asphalt anymore. LOL

Back later, I love you guys!!!

[NoraC]

Well - shoot. Just lost my post. Don't know what happened. So, I'm going to just say hello to everyone.

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K9 - hang in there.

[fennel]

Loony pass granted, K9!

Sounds like Sierra had a lovely seeing off this weekend. You did so well. :heartbeat:
Who knows? This absence may not last very long.

[mama bear]

we aren't meeting till later and yes I will take some pics....
google Ritz Carlton Amelia Island....you will want to go......

[mama bear]

Loony Pass granted!!! I am so proud of you for being there for Sierra, K9. I almost texted a few times....
I will check on Nursie later
I'm outta here
I love you all.......I am freaked out about leaving work early....what is wrong with me????
