partlycloudy,
> I was under the care of one practical nurse after another (never saw the same one twice), so I would start on an antidepressant, feel mich better after 4 months or so, taper off with their supervision, and eventually crash. What sent me for professional treatment was that the duration of being unmedicated and OK became shorter and shorter until I was basically crying all day long.
What kind of care did you get from practical nurse? Was this in concert with a doctor of some kind?>I don't want to end up like my father - dead at 53 years of age, with 3 out of 4 children estranged (yes, I was the one still close to him); and I also know that not wanting to drink and not doing it are different issues. Hence my stepped up efforts with my therapists.
So you do have some impetuous or something more than just thinking it would be better not to drink to quit. Do you have your liver checked periodically? I know a little about this as I have several friends with Hep C. This is important. How is your weight holding up? If I can be so bold how is your eliminating (bathroom)? Are you having problems eating or going too loosely?
You are not alone either. I just met you and already value your friendship. So as your friend I must insist that you take better care of yourself. I have no room to talk believe me:)Take care,
Irene
