So glad you're back Girl. Reading your post really made me feel good inside. It is so good to see someone going through something so rough and come out the other side. I'm sorry that you're still not feeling 100% but grateful to hear that you are at least in a better place. :ghug3

Glad to hear you were able reach out for the help you needed, Ro. Changing up meds is scary. I've experienced a similar reaction a few years ago. Just relieved you were able to stop the wrong one in its tracks before we lost you.
As far as being honest with family. I've shared more bits and pieces with mine as time's gone on. Two out of my four children have experienced depression, one of them clinically diagnosed and treated at the age of 10. The oldest just left college early (first year) on medical leave and is seeing a therapist who must clear him to return.
Thankfully, both of them have been honest with me about their feelings. They know it's O.K. to hurt to share their feelings because "Mom's" been honest about hers and asked for help. Your daughter's a lucky girl.
Glad George is still in the picture, too. Although you must miss him, he hasn't left your side.
Take it easy, L.
