In reply to difference bet no 'future' and wanting to die?, posted by jane on December 14, 1999, at 19:16:13
Thank you Jane. You described exactly what I was feeling, and pointed out where I ought to head next in my recovery.
This is one of the reasons this site is priceless: If I can not form the exact words to express how I feel, all I have to do is look around because there is always someone wheo has been there, and gives me the words.
I really thought for a while that I was 'cured' as the wanting-to-die feelings subseeded, and was already accepting a long, dull, joyless life, just grateful that the intense pain is not present.
Now it seems there might be more to this. Also, now I know what to tell my doc when I see him next time instead of 'everything is fine'.
JohnL, thank you for the information. My doc is planning to take me off Serzone and start SSRIs, and I've been against the idea. Mainly because of the sexual side effects (Just in case I ever might get interested in sex again). I don't think I've ever heard of the TCAs, new as I am to all this. What are they?
What kind of side efects? Where can I find more information on them?
Thanx
Dee
