Yeah, what is it that takes us from the top of the mountain and down to the bottom of despair without a pause? The triggers for me are reading about someone being hurt by a person in a rage stage similiar to mine, or a person having the same problems with his/her family as I did, etc. I know all my ...

What kind of shrink would deny a patient needed meds? A lot of them if they weren't the original prescribing doctor. Many of the docs I've seen have refused to continue another doc's prescription, arguing that they don't know if I should still be taking them. With computerizaton now, the docs can co...

Can you speak with a religious leader? How about Human Services? There are people, lots of them, whose sole role in life is to help people loke you. If you can't get out to speak with someone in authority use the internet to talk with these people who I know will assist you. In the meantime, FIGHT A...

There is nothing I can add except, the place you're in is one you've visited before. You know you can get out of this mental prison, you've done it before. Remember you have the support of all us. Drop a line when you need a broad sholder to vent against or cry on. We all must stick together. Clear ...

Based on my experiences, which are somewhat similiar and detailed in another post, your job in all of this is to take care of yourself. Too much of what you're going through and you will be the one suffering from depression. Your dad seems to be like mine was, he doesn't understand what your mother ...

This is one of my flame buttons, people telling me to be more understanding. Goodness I try but they don't. I know there is a lot of stress in the lives of all of us, but all of us means you and me both. If I should chill. which takes a lot of nergy I can't afford, they should chill as well. It was ...

I respect the frustration and difficulty of the position you find yourself in. I went through something quite similiar with my mother. Fortunately she was a drunk. I couldn't get her admitted to a psychiatric hospital, she had to do it voluntarily (state law). So, I took mum and dad out for lunch, g...

Yes I've done quite bit of therapy over the years, when the side effects of my depression get too out of hand -- uncontrollable rage (during which I destroy furniture in my den, break windows, etc. In the distant past I attacked people when the rage got out of hand. It is not a pretty sight. -- very...

I have been thinking about chatting in this forum for a long time. I am a 73 yo white male from outside Boston, MA. I am taking Cymbalta for depression and, save for the side effects, appears to be working quite well. Of course, the drug counters the depression but not the root causes of the depress...
