Thank you so much for the awesome words. Knowing that my words might help someone makes a crappy thing not so bad. This will be a blur soon. There is another side of it, and the real me will be there waiting.
I upped my dose of Fish Oil, and my day started out decently even though I was pretty put out with the LLM. She is so fussy about her wardrobe. I have had 3 people today tell me, "just think about when she's 13." Um, no. I'd rather not.
Called the psychiatrists office today, and informed them that my therapist thought I was in a major depressive episode (scary place). The doctor gave me samples of Pristiq. I've heard great things about a Lexapro/Pristiq combo. That's the light! I start tomorrow.
The evening routine wore me down and the girls were tugging on the end of my rope. I talked harshly to them, they seem to know how to work me when my fuse is short. The BLM is under the spell of our magic elf and can't think about anything else. She slow plays me, can't hear me, and just worked my nerve all over the place tonight.
I have two stories to share about a traumatic visit to the crazy doctor and a folly at the ER (both depression related). I'm just saying that so I don't forget to share.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I feel them. I really do.

I have been on Pristiq for a little over 2 months and it has worked wonders. I wasn't on anything before because I wouldn't give anything a chance due to immediate weight gain from all other antidepressants I have tried. I had a major depressive episode and was put on Pristiq and snapped out of it within a week:) I hope it works for you. Hugs and Prayers:)
Yeah Momma! These past few months are going to be a thing of the past! Brighter days are ahead!
I have been thinking of you--I know you can get thru it and back to you :-)
Just want to say that I love your blog and feel like I know you from reading it this past year. My heart is going out to you right now!!!
I'm thinking of you, and send you all the love and support possible over the internetz! We carazies got to stick together (cymbalta & zanax, after years of wellbutrin working wonders) Hang in there girly!
Thinking of you Mamalish...
I didn't realize things were so bad for you right now, and I know I can't possibly understand, which is why I'm jokey with you about it. But I know it's serious and I am sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers. If you ever need me to take the girls off your hands, seriously just holler at me or drop em off on the door step. I'll feed em lots of cookies (cause we care about healthy eating and all) and let them entertain Sarah. And I suck at cleaning house, but I'd sure wash your sheets for you!
It WILL get better and before too long it will be in the upper 90s and you'll be in the swimming pool again!
You sound so much better already today -- I can "hear" your personality and clever words that I enjoy soooo much on your blog... So many of us can totally and completely relate to your struggle... I've been there before myself. I know that you will get through this because you are being so proactive and seeking help, which I am so proud of you for... I am a big, fat chicken when it comes to things like this... Usually, I suffer in silence until I reach a breaking point... I also know that you are helping so many others who have felt ashamed or all alone in their feelings... reading your honest feelings may be just what they need to seek help for themselves... Anyway, I am rambling now... Just wanted to let you know that I'm still praying for you and I know you will be on the other side of this soon... XOXOXOX
I love the title of this post! Hugs!
Oh and I totally hate those, "just wait 'til they are teenagers" comments...
Thinking of you! I know you don't know me, but I love your blog. I was on Pristiq for a long time and loved it. I switched to Wellbutrin to quit smoking and that was a mistake. I'm only on prozac now, but I have to take lots of it to help as much as pristiq did. Good luck to you!! I know how scary it is, I've been there!
