No Ellis, no drugs yet, recreational or otherwise.
I have never spoken to a doctor about it, and I dont feel it is dangerous. I am going to monitor it though and if i get worse instead of better I will consult with doc. I think it is just the time of year thing mostly.

Good, I'm glad to hear it. (if you know what I mean)
You're smart to monitor it. Don't hesitate to see your doctor... you can't be friggin' around with mental health.
Hugs, hon...

DITTO! Not everyone needs drugs, but those who do are REALLY grateful for them!! They brought me back to life!!

Drugs...
 

I highly recommend drugs if you struggle with depression. I resisted for years thinking I should be able to handle it or somehow think my way out of depression. I wasted so many years of my life... years that could have been much happier and more productive. Its like trying to will away diabetes or cancer... it just doesn't work that way. I have been off meds for the last year while trying to get pregnant. Now with the latest infertility diagnoses I am back on meds and praying they kick in soon. It has been a very difficult year for me and an even worse month.

Sojo, feel better soon sweetie!!!
Love, Soozie

You know what! I think you girls are all the drugs I need! I love being able to chat with you guys and tell you my problems. You always give me honest advice. I do feel much better today. This time of year just carries so much stress with it. I need to start focusing on the good and the fun of the season rather than the bah hum bug side of things.
Thanks for caring! Seem to be saying that a lot lately, but I mean it.
Virginia

ooooh, la la! We are drugs! :D

Virginia, I'm glad you're starting to feel better. Maybe if this is ALWAYS a stressful time of year for you, you're actually ANTICIPATING that it's going to be bad. Try to change it around this year so that next year you won't have that sense of forboding. You can't change the bad stuff (being short of money, feeling crappy because there are so many people in bad circumstances at Christmas... okay, you can help with that a LITTLE, but you can't fix the whole damned world), but you can change how you see things. You maybe need to get over to the Grateful Thread and list a few things. I think I do, too. Hugs, hon.

Den and Sojo, drugs are great, aren't they. :dance: I'd quite likely be dead without mine. Not a pretty picture.
Sojo, I hope yours kick in really soon. I know you're feeling down right now... keep looking at all the good in your life, sweetie. Hugs...

I adore my drugs! They give me a normal life!!!!
Ellis...not "we are drugs"...

Drugs-R-Us!

Sojo-I waited way too long too. For drugs AND for therapy. And both my parents (retired now) worked in the mental health field!!! I grew up assuming I'd go into therapy one day, and STILL waited too long!! I hope yours kick in soon!!

Soozie-Now we just need to turn that R backwards....

Ellis-Wish we had little musical symbols too... "Whoa oh oh oh....alternachicks are the drugs that I'm thinking of!!"

Virginia-Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better!!! We aren't pushing drugs. Just trying to let anyone who MIGHT need 'em know that it is okay yo use 'em!!

Now wait a minute... isn't this the weigh-in thread? :D

Drug pushing... hmmmm... what a novel idea! A career change!

ummm...that's prescription drugs right? ;) guess we'll all have to become pharmacists then. Excellent profession, well paying as they seems to be a shortage of them in Canada these days. Wish I'd known that when I was graduating high school~ I could have gone in to pharmacology (think that's what is called ).

Actually I probably should have gone into forensic science...I seem to have missed my calling.

Mauvais... have you been digging up bodies and dissecting them?

Oh Mauvais, not again...didn't you swear that you wouldn't do that anymore?

I can relate, Mauvais!! All the benefits of being a doctor, none of the worries of making a fatal mistake!!! (Probably earn less, but ANYTHING would be more than I am making now!!!) HMMM....Making jewelry, dissecting bodies......

Sorry :o I guess I fell off the coroner's wagon again didn't I? OOPS!

xo,
Mauvais the Mortician ;)
