I can't keep from crying my eyes out, I should be so grateful for everything but right now I don't care if the sun ever comes up. It is freezing here at the beach today, maybe weather may have something to do with my mood. I went to the gym yesterday but can't make it out today, wow, what a difference a day makes.

I was so sick I couldn't stand up, I felt as though I had vertigo. I tried just cutting back each week as my dr. suggested, bad experience for me.

I have had lots of different therapys and have tried almost every antidepressant that's come out. I suffer in silence most of the time.
