Hi elsie girl and over 55!! I think we're going down the right road. Day at a time. Over 55... STOP IT!!!! You shouldn't be disgusted with yourself. I do the same thing. There ya go! We all do. Know what? This journey that we're struggling with gives us the right to blow it every once in a while. Please don't put unrealistic expectations on yourself.
I'd like to report that my AD's.... I'm down from 225 a day to less that 18.75 a day. It's taken me about 5-6 months so far. And if it takes another 2-4, I'm okay with that. All I know is, I'm getting there... It's been hard. Headaches. Vomitting. "The Shakes". "Baby hallucinations". "Cruel thoughts". Went through all of this if I dropped the dosage to quickly.
I am feeling better. I actually have energy (almost)! I never used to leave the house except to go to work. (Hence the name on this thread.... I'm not afraid to leave the house, I just don't wanna". Didn't even sit on the deck with hubby darling. Now? Wow. I actually went out yesterday (Sunday) Trip to IKEA for a new shelving unit and rug. Came home put up shelving unit and put down rug. This from a woman who hadn't cleaned her house in years (my beloved's been doing everything... gawd, he's wonderful... I woulda left me years ago.... bless him).
I wish the same for you all. Health is number one. Happiness comes from health. In the greater scheme, nothing else matters. Material things are just "stuff".
Let us know how you're doing with the AD's. I thank god for this site and the support and caring I see.
Love you all. Take care. This too shall pass. We shall overcome this hell known as depression.
