Hi Orchid,

It’s really good to see you.

> What steps are you taking regarding your depression? I know you are in sexual therapy, but that won't aim at your depression that much. And I read about your GP and Prozac. Is that helping?

Somewhat. It seemed to be helping two weeks ago, but I’m not sure it’s still helping. Maybe I need a higher dose.

> I think it is better to treat depression when it is early on rather than wait till it gets late. I think perhaps you can stop your sexual therapy for a while and continue your personal therapy (either from your old T or from a new T).

I see what you’re saying, although I’m pretty much committed to the sex therapy at the moment. And actually, I finally did my homework last night and it went pretty well!

> Also repeated episodes of depression puts a person at a higher risk to long term depression (from what I have read). So it would be a good idea to tackle that early on and not let it grow to be a fullblown depression.

You’re absolutely right. I need to be careful.

> And I think your husband probably meant to be supprotive since you said he has been that way in the past.

I’m sure you’re right. His intentions are good. He’s a good man.

> Regarding not being a superwoman, sometimes, I have that problem too wiht my rheumatoid arthritis. But remember that life is not about being a superwoman or anything for that matter. It is what you *can do* and what feels comfortable *for you* at any given point of time, irrespective of what you used to be in the past.

Yeah, that’s true. You know what it’s like. (((((Orchid)))))

Thanks for your thoughts.

Love,
Tamar
