it's funny...a good friend of mine just told me that she went on meds for anxiety...why is it that it feels so lonely? i just have an observation i'd like to state...why is it that no one really seems to care until you say that you have a problem? it's like no one really caring until you dont pay a bill and then watch how many people sit up and take notice.

how about seeing it as no one gives the extra attention until there is need to? if things are going well, there is no need to 'raise the bar' so to speak. but if there are troubled times, of course those who are closest would want to do their best and cheer you up.

My wife got a severe case from post-partum chemicals. Depression is in the family too, I think. It was so bad that I was in the same funk and couldn't get out. We both went for therapy, individual for her and group for the two of us. She has been medicated ever since. The Psy guy said we should have come in sooner, that the drugs are more effective the quicker you get on them. Take care of it!
