Kristi,
Your history sounds similar to mine (I lost mother and a brother to suicide), but I do respond to ADs (prozac). I also understand and can relate completely to your feeling of "don't go there..." regarding your childhood. I am DEFINITELY no expert in the field, but I think you might reconsider getting help for repressed memories. It's quite possible the things you may be stuffing inside are causing your depression and feelings of being non motivated. I feel the same way; my attitude is "why bother? life sucks and then you die....". I've always been somewhat sexually repressed (had an inkling of it probably stemming from my childhood) but never wanted to deal with it. Due mainly to the persistence of my pdoc, I'm beginning to deal with it, and while I hate it and it's painful, I'm starting to see how the traumas in the past can f**k up your life. And it's not too late to change things. I apologise if I've made assumptions here that I shouldn't have about your life; obviously I don't know you and could be way off base here. Please forgive me if that's the case.
Marie
> That really does sound interesting, and something I just might look into. I don't think i want to dig to deep into my child hood...... very strange.. I found out last year that I lived with my grandparents until I was 11 years old.... now 31.. and I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER IT. Strange huh? I always assume... if I repressed that many years of my life... it might be better to keep them there... if ya know what I mean. But could this stuff actually like.... gosh I can't even think of a word,.... kind of... um.... :-) talk you into being motivated?
