I'm new as well having joined last night.  Just jump in, put your feelings out there, and someone will reply.  I got several responses to my first post within a few hours.  This seems to be a very good community of people who are just looking to get and give support.  I have two furry children, a 5 year old terrier mix and a 4 month old kitten.  They also provide support when I'm blue because they don't care how bad my day was or how down I am.  They're always there with love.  I hope you find this community as beneficial as I have already.

Thanks Stewie,

I have never in my life felt this way before. I have been on anti depressants for a long time but I don't know what is causing this now. Could be a host of things but I am going to the doctor so he can figure it out.  I just need someone to talk to about it . My husband is very sympathetic but I feel like I am dragging him down too. Thanks for listening

Your dog is so so cute I would love one but unfortunately I have a husband who dosen't want one. There are really nice people on this site who will try and help you with whatever you want to ask.

Hi Fifi,

Thanks for chatting with me.  I have always loved dogs. My cockapoo Midnight was 21 years old last year and we had to have her put to sleep. We got Macey through a rescue shelter in May of this year.  She is five years old and a Lhasa Opso-Tibetian Terrier mix. The shelter people said she was found abandoned when she was a puppy and then adopted but then she lived in Florida.  It will be interesting to she how she likes the snow in Cincinnati, Ohio this winter. Anywho, the couple that had her moved to Ohio but they had a baby and Macey does not do well around children. They told us when we adopted her that she does not do well around other dogs or small children.

She does have an attitude problem with growling and barking at people when we sit on the porch but I hope to take her in for training for that. She is a joy to have around.

 

Hi...pleased to meet you..and Macey!

My mother has had diabetes for years and when I was younger it was very out of control...during these times her brain did not exactly function well. Also more recently when she lived with me for 5years I managed to get her on a good diet and found that a multivitamin with iron helped her a lot.Now I know you might not be able to take some vitamins with some antidepressants so I would advise you to check this out with your doc first. On the menopause front...I had mine early following a hysterectomy and quite literally thought I was dying! It seems my folic acid levels were low so needed some supplements and some time for my body to become fully happy with the new hormone levels! I didn't take HRT as there is a history of breast cancer in the family but took a few Agnas Castus (herbal) tabs along with a multivitamin for a while...but again you would need to check out with a doctor or a herbalist or both what you can and cannot take together and be safe.

Do share any problems you are facing this is a very friendly site and everyone is really supportive and understanding.

Great to hear from you...keep writing.

Hi Hypno,

It's just hard when all it seems to unravel at once. Once I get my diabetes in control I do have to seem my gynocologist so I can talk to him about any other drugs for the change.

 

Thanks for answering my post.  I did have a great weekend though, no crying or feeling sorry for myself.
