Connie and RJ, thank you for your good thoughts for my health. RJ I think you're right about not healing as quickly when you're grieving. Connie, I hope they find a treatment for your cat. our furry friends bring us so much comfort and it's hard to see them sick.

Im sorry michelle, prayers being lifted that you feel better soon, you are so kind. I think sadness prolongs recovering from any illness. When our hearts have been broken forever it is harder to mend other health issues. Probably always will be. Connie i remember having to make that decision with my sweet dog clark, he was 15. Oh what a heartbreaking and painful decision. Its been 10 years and i still miss my sweet buddy. Im sorry, i know your pain

My cat has pancreatitis and they don't seem to know how to treat it definitively in cats. He is 12.  I don't think he would survive anesthesia of emergency surgery (then what?) or anymore tests. I am watching him waste away... my heart is breaking.....

I just wrote a post and ended up not hitting send so I lost the entire thing. what I wanted to say is thank you to everyone who sent kind thoughts regarding chris 2 year death anniversary yesterday. I haven't been on here much, posting that is, because I just haven't had the energy. I have been sick since December. it started out as the flu and bronchitis but I haven't been able to shake it despite 3 rounds of antibiotics, steroids, cough medicines, etc. I was especially sick yesterday, I guess because of the anniversary date. I was having a hard time breathing, and then I remembered that that day 2 years ago when I got the news about chris, that I have is having trouble breathing that day too. I guess it's hard to imagine how we go on breathing day after day when the most awful thing has happened. I think of each and everyone of you everyday and know that you have tremendous strength in the face of your pain, a pain that no one understands who hasn't lost a child.I don't postlike I used even though I don't post like I used to, my thoughts and prayers are always with you. Hopefully as my energy returns, & I hope that it will, I will be on here to be more support to everyone.

Sharon, my dr started me out at half a tablet for one week then full tablet. Im on a lower dose, 50 mg. the only thing it did notice for about 3 days it kinda ran me to the bathroom, random quick times! But it stopped. I Have not had any jitters or anything negative to date. I have never been on an antidepressant before so, like you very skeptical, didnt want to feel worse, if that was even possible. Im actually noticing longer periods where i am not so consumed and crying all day. I was,am desperate to get some control over my mind so i can get some direction here in my life....

Amy.. Thank you. I am taking the 5-htp from Costco and xanax at night. Rj, did the Zoloft make you jittery? My niece is a pharmacist and said that it would make me feel worse before it would make me feel better. I was scared because I don't need to feel worse right now!

I have no words for all that everyone is feeling except to let you know I understand; I get it.  Have been there and still go there but not as often.  It will ease up but it takes time; a long time.  It's gradual.

I wanted to say to those that are feeling depressed and don't want to go on prescribed medication there is a natural one that I found that seems to help me stay a little more balanced.  It's called 5-HTP.  There are several makers but I take the Natrol brand.  This one is time released.  If you belong to Costco they carry it.  It does not help with the anxiety.  I do take prescription for that.
I wanted to stay away from the prescribed anti-depressants because I was on them for years when I was younger and I always had side effects.  Wasn't sure the 5-HTP was really helping until I decided to go off it.  I did notice a difference and went back on.  They are probably not as strong as prescribed but they are natural if that is what you are looking for.
I don't know if anyone else on here has found anything that helps.  Would like to know if anyone has.
Take care and go slowly. H❀U❀G❀S

Oh jill that is awful, as if the pain isn't bad enough, how can anyone be so cold. You and your husband need support now, not such unkindness. Omg i cant even imagine. Im sorry you are dealing with that. Sharon, i too was afraid to start my Zoloft and xanax because of things i read but then i decided to go to the positive websites and read, has helped many plus i figured since i am in such bad shape, im already at the bottom so i will try anything, just in case it may actually help, if even a fraction. Larry has been gone since feb 1 2015. My dr says it takes about 3 weeks to start feeling the effects, i will say it is starting to take the edge off. Im still suffering daily but am praying this will get my serotonin levels under control in the brain that such trauma depletes. This is a life long journey the life we knew before is gone, for me, this is the hardest thing to accept. Larry was my life, being his mom was what kept me going, brought me joy. Right now the memories are not enough...maybe someday but not now.
