Luv ya Mystic...you are always there to lift my spirits with your kind words of encouragement.
I just want you to feel better soon and I know that you will - just keep your head up and we will be here for you. It took me a long time but I finally decided to try something and luckily it works for me,so I just take advantage of it and try to help other people like you who are not feeling so good right now.
I know how discouraged you must feel but believe me you will pull out of it and look back at it like I do and say "oh I never thought I was going to feel like myself again" I say it all the time.
I still have my ups and downs especially around my period. I still have to take a xanax around that time. I am currently on 5mg of Lexapro for my anxiety/panic disorder other than that the xanax has been a life saver for me. I never tried anything else and suffered all these years since I was 17 on and off - now 33 I think I finally have it under some control.
I am really scared of meds like you are and I have a very low tolerance for medication so that makes me even more scared, but I was so sick of having panic and anxiety and fearing to do so many things with my family that I finally asked my doctor what I should do... and that's when she prescribed me the Lexapro and believe me it sat in my cabinet for 2 weeks until I finally decided to take it. The first 5 weeks were tough and I thought I would have to live like this forever, but then Lexy introduced me to this board and with the help of all you guys I stuck with it and after the 6th week I started feeling much better, so now here we are 3 months later and still managing to get better.
Hang in there and just know that I am here for you and so is everyone else on this board.
Love,
anxious babe

Thanks mystic for remembering me!!
Ya know, now that you mention the foods we eat affecting the way we feel makes alot of sense to me. I had gestinational diabetes with all of my pregnancies and now I have to watch my blood suger and make sure I eat more protein than carbs in a meal. If I don't watch what I eat I tend to get in a gloomy mood and feel really yucky!! I am trying to lose some weight now and have been eating alot of veggies and drinking TONS of water. I wonder if that has anything to do with my feeling good lately! Hmmmmmm.....
Well, I hope you can find a way ( any way ) to help you feel better (soon).
Hope you had fun with you grandson and have a good weekend!!
Gator

> is there a test for hypoglycemia..think it is just a blood sugar check
I think it is called the "fasting" blood sugar test. The doctor make me take it both times I was preganant. (Ask Mel if she had to do it.) You just fast for 12 hours, I think. Then you go in and then they give you this syrupy pop stuff to drink. Then they check the blood to see how you react to it.
> Hey Simus where ya been girlfriend..How are you feeling???
Doing ok, Mystic. Not where I want to be, but better than I was.
I'm still praying for you. I look forward to "seeing" you greatly improved, by whatever the means. Hang in there until that day.

Hi Coco,
You really don't have to do a high fat version of Atkins. I don't. The only thing I eat that is considered taboo on other diets is cheese and full fat salad dressing. I eat lots of veggies, eggs, chicken, fish and sugar free chocolates. Gotta have those. I was bad today though and yesterday. Getting a little bit sloppy with obeying the rules. Woops. I still need to loose about 10 but I am having a heard time being faithful. When I put my mind to it, it will happen though. I'm okay with that. Important thing is that I am keeping the pounds off. Good luck to you. Mrs. C

Hey,girl . . . good luck with the increase. I know how hard it was for you to take that step. It was good to see you in open the other night; I hope it helped.
I had a weird night last night - I didn't take my lex yesterday, and I kept waking up with the room spinning and sick to my stomach; like an inner ear thing. Once I opened my eyes for a minute, though, I would be okay and had no trouble getting back to sleep. I feel fine today, but my sinuses are kind of popping and I am having cold sweats when I exert (house cleaning). I was thinking maybe I should take my lex today instead of continuing my "vacation" but I got up way late and if I take it that late in the day I have trouble sleeping at night. I have tomorrow off, so I am hoping that I will be straightened out before I go back to work. There are just so many variables with these meds; hard to know what is meds and what is our own bodies.
I hope your day has been enjoyable, and I will say a prayer for you to have peace over your meds.

Hey Jlynne..thank you so much for your post..I hope that it wasnt because you didnt take your med that you felt that way..Maybe it is allergies or something like that and it was bothering you last night..I know sometimes when I'm woken up I feel just horrible ..I fall asleep on the couch a lot and I hate it because when I wake up to go upstairs I feel disoriented and that is not a good feeling then it just sets off the thoughts and I hate that...
I'm praying that you feel better today and the rest of the day went fine...Thanks for being there for me take care and talk to you soon..Luvya Mystic

Jlynne,
Hey girl... I took a lexapro vacation a few days ago and woke up feeling fine... after about 40 hours (I forgot to take it)I started feeling dizzy, spacy and just weird. I took my lex and a nap then felt a lot better, it took a day to get back to normal though. I hope you get to feeling better... my sinuses have been terrible all week. I feel my sniffels are going to take over the world!! ( I type as I am sneezing). God Bless Me.... you and all the Yo Yos.
Love ya,
Lexy

Hi Mystic and the rest of the yo-yo's, I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weekend.
Mystic, you are always in my prayers and I wish you luck with your increase. Maybe this is what you need to get you back on track again. I hope you had a great day with your daughter and grandson.
I myself had a wonderful day, I spent the day outside with my kids, my neighbors and their baby - it was a great day. I had a ton of chores to do but said "who cares" they will be there tomorrow. I was never able to do that before the Lex, the house being out of order would drive me crazy and make me very anxious but today I could care less. I have learned to enjoy a beautiful day with my family and friends.
Love and blessings to all,
anxious babe

It poured on friday, it was 72 degrees and BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY. I did it guys. I did it. I held up entirely and completely, smiled all the way down the aisle, no tears, all smiles. Me and dad eskimo kissed....awwwwwwww...did i mention i looked hot? I felt like i did...ok..smiles smiles..then the sign of peace, gave aunt t a rose, and the tears began a rollin'...i even did a couple of those grunty cryey squacks, left a standing with my family and i jetted right back to the alter:) It was ok, it really wasnt bad for gods SAKES SHE CAME! SHE CAME TO MY WEDDING!!!and she even wore a lei!!!..Reception was great, instead of the bridal dance they did a golf "tournament" people kicked in money, 600$ to be exact and bet on who would shoot the closest to the hole. We got the proceeds and the "winner" got 50$, which of course, no pun, he gave to us. plus i got out of a lot of dancin. we presented to garter and bouquet, and then played billy joels shes got a way....and i danced with aunt t and i was once again squealing and bawling, but you could have heard a pin drop in that place. I mean total and complete silence, and everyone was standing, and I kid you not EVERYONE EVERYONE the dj the bartenders, the waiters the waitresses everyone stopped and looked and cried and smiled ...AUNT T DID NOT CRY! SHE IS SO STRONG, She simply smiled. after about 30 seconds, i took the mike and asked my dad to cut in and then the rest of her brothers and sisters, and then at the end i asked anyone else that wanted to share the best wedding present in the world to go give aunt t a hug and everyone, EVERYONE gathered around her and cheered. It was absolutely amazing and incredible. I will never forget the feeling I had in my heart when that song was playing, it was totally indescribable. it would have made the perfect visa commercial, it was entirely priceless..please listen to that billy joel song and think about this wonderful woman, who never got married or had kids, retired and moved away and got diagnosed with cancer. she went from a size 24 to a 6. SHE LOOKED BEAUTIFUL THOUGH! Everyone had a lei we had light up ones and beachcomber hats and afterwards i put on a white sundress and a grass skirt. and there were flowers in the drinks there were pink flamingos and blow up ukeleles and palm trees and seashells and shell shaped mints and framed postcards of beaches on all the tables and seashell candle centerpieces and my girls got me these light up flip flops and i got some hot lingere...and some lady i did not know gave me her wedding band at the bar the night before to wear as something borrowed...i gave it back after of course. I had a precious cousin that was convinced that i was a princess and i carried her with me all night long. I got to tell so many people that i will probably never see again before they leave this earth exactly how i felt about them. I smiled and held my head up and it was incredible. cept we forgot to get the marriage license signed oooooooppppppsssss... I am so happy i can not describe it...i forgot to take my lex for two days in a row but had a half a xanax here and there...I DID IT!!! Next stop, CANCUN!!! See yall in a week.
