I have been and get back to where you are right now all the time. Some times I can snap myself out of by breaking the million tasks down into smaller chunks and to quit trying to 'do it all'. About the crying though...that one I needed meds to help me with. I used to get started crying about one thing and then be okay about it but unable to turn the waterworks off. Tears would just stream down my face all day. I take Effexor and it has helped so much. I wonder if you need your dosage upped or something?

I'm pulling for you! How did it go with the therapist?

I went to a holistic healer/drummer/??? when I thought I was losing it. She was totally wacky and absolutely comfortable in her own skin and convinced me that it is perfectly acceptable to be a #@$ up as long as you're having fun. It turned out that I didn't need medication but I did need a reality check. I was trying to achieve a perfection that is just not possible and still working out the side effects of a nasty, emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend from years ago. I did not embrace the wilder side of life but I do have a lot more fun and I have left behind most of the things I don't like to do... it is worth every penny to drop off your laundry every once in a while!

Good luck and big hugs!

Daisy-Wow. You said some things I hadn't even realized. With dh gone, I AM taking up where he left off. Never even realized. I have my therapy appt. in 20 min., and I am going to level with him. He is a wonderful guy, and I feel very comfortable with him. Also, I am seeing my MD later this week, and will discuss meds options with her.

I don't know what I would do without all of you. I haven't known most of you long, but everything happens for a reason, and I know you are the reason I moved here from the JC site.

Okay, I will knock it off, even tho I kinda like that whip...

Marcie,

I am sorry you are feeling down. A lot of great advice has already been given and I agree with all of it. One thing I can see is that you are a great person even for just existing! You are unique. You are you. Please write down all the positive happy things about yourself and read them everyday! You are worth it. Good for you for coming here with your feelings!!!!
