About Me

Mother of three, currently laid off and gong back to school. It is very difficult to deal with this. That is why I fnally wanted meds. i am scared of the side effects. I was on prozac 19 years ago and am one of the 3% who bacame suicidal. They say this gets better with age, but mine has gotten worse. I cycle rapidly, can be severely depressed, become numb and then maniac within an hour's time. Feels like I am losing my mind. I also am supposed to deal with all my past abuse issues, but that makes the depression worse and brings out addictve behaviors. I love the manic because I can be on top of the world and accomplish anything. But I hate the anger that comes with it. The depression, well, what good is there to say about it. So, at this point in my life, I am trying something new with a new diagnosis. I am hoping for the best, but not expecting much.
