This is my first time on this site. Don't even know how I found it. Just wanted to thank you for the encouraging words you gave on your post.
After surviving cancer 6 yrs. ago, the aftermath almost did me in. I went from an outgoing, social, energetic mother & pastor's wife to a reclusive shut-in. Having never been on meds before, finding a good doc was challenging. He put me on 6 ml Xanax daily, 150 ml Wellbutrin XL, and Remeron. It took that to bring me back from wherever I had gone.
I watched an old family video 2 nights ago and wondered who that person was who looked like me...I don't know her anymore. I have 2 wonderful daughters who still need me around and a good husband who would be better off without the stress of my condition. I just want to be myself again...happy and involved in helping people. But i don't know how to get there.
I tried several meds at the beginning without success. My life today is just surviving and crying in secret so my children don't see.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
