I have been prescribed many drugs for depression, adhd, anxiety and pain in the last 15 years. The death of my younger sister in a car accident and then the quick death of my father from a form of bone cancer I have been of scripts for many yrs. Since 1993 at least. I am now struggling to put the past as a memory and move on with my life.
Since I believe that life is a dance you dance from birth. I think I stopped dancing when my sister died. I was #5 in 6 children. But instead of picking up the beat again when my dad died I walked off the dance floor. But do bad I want to get back on the dance floor and learn to dance again. I am scared and my kids lost a lot of me in these past 13+ years.
So please don't stop dancing and for Gods sake don't leave the dance floor. How do the ones of us who have walked off the dance floor get back on. Any suggestions? Still looking for the answer.
Thanks
Hi,
I believe I can relate to you delima. I too have been treated for depression and anxiety for more years than I care to admit. There are many things we can do, and you have just taken one step, admitting your powerlessness over this situation and asking for help. There is usually someone out there that can identify with our pain. God sort of made it that way, I believe. If we have suffered through something, then we can share in the suffering of another person. And many times be of help and support to that person.
I have a hand of friendship to offer to you and also some encouragement. I too have lost loved ones, my mother, husband, best friend and my daugheter's best friend,age 16 n a matter of 18 months. I know that seems impossible, but it happened and I was nearly cripppled with the pain and grief. Also, there are very good links on the internet to help you in many areas of your life. You can't depend on just one support person, you must have several because one isn't always there at times when you might need someone, so.. several to hold you up during desperate trials is a much better way. The internet provides us with support at the touch of our fingertips if we just accept it.
I am here for you and many others are too.
Tell me more about yourself.

Hi Judy,
Thanks for responding today. I am 45 a miserable marriage and two children, son 20 and daughter 15 going on 30. I am taking care of my husband who had horibble motorcycle accident on Dec. 19, of 2004. We were on the verge of separating after 29 years together, 23 married. So these have not been the best of days. He is still in a wheelchair or can use a walker some.
So adding this to the mess my life is already in it only has been more stress and disappointment. Just like you and your life struggles, God Bless You, I also have a few other things. My mother 76, has had congestive heart failure since 1992. Two pace makers anf 2 defibulators later she is here and VERY dependent, I and one other sister take care of her. It is a daily sturggle but I should be thankful and I am that she is still here.
I also have a gay son that I adore and he makes me love life just watching him be happy, he forgives me for my shortcomings, but my husband disapproves although he knows don't even go there. I will never chose any man over either of my kids. So I am trying to get a prespective on this mess and heal myself too. I have been on the same meds for about 7 yrs., my first shrink fell down the steps at home and died, so I moved on the her husband who is in the same practice. So some meds were changed now they are just maintained with med checks. So when I did ask for help she was great but then I called for an appt. they gave me one to tell me she had passed, so one more for the ringer.
I know I am whineing but I needed somewhere to put this. I don't feel safe spilling my guts to the other shrink because I did it once and she died and I was lost again. So here I am on the internet a complete mess.
Thank u so much for the reply it has really mad my day.
