hi phillipa-

not sure what i will try next for my depression. i just tried adding effexor xr. barely gave it a try. about 5 days because of the start-up side effects (stomach probs/headaches). i know i should 'tough it out' more, but i just didn't have it in me to continue. i've done that few times and my pdoc is getting a little frustrated w/me.

i'm very down these past few weeks. this is my first depressive episode as i said. 18 months of basically lying in bed. this after a 26 year career as a teacher. i'm tired. i'm having very dark thoughts and trying to figure out a way to stop ruminating on my problems/suicidal thoughts. it's hard as i'm sure you know. i'm scared. i've given-up in many ways.

the anehdonia (sp?) is brutal too. ironic because i loved life until the depression hit me. nothing, and i mean nothing, seems to bring me any pleasure. that scares me as well. how can someone live without pleasure in their life?

anyway, thnx for corresponding with me.

john
