I just lost it with my husband!

[Nutty 2]

I never wanted to take anti-depressents. I mean, we all have our ups and downs...I usually tried to remain positive. When I became down I always tried to count my blessings...And if I felt bad I tried to get my mind on something humorus or like SusieK said, talk it out or exercise.

Also, anti depressents have side effects - weight gain (I like I need to go over 200 LBS, I already put on 30 from emotional eating) and lack of libido. Not to mention some studies say they may not be as effective as originally touted.

But this is a desperate action for me to take the prescription route. I don't want to feel this way, especially if my husband may be coming....I want to be back to my normal, happy self.

divorce in a war zone. now that's stress.

[Nutty 2]

I haven't even started them yet! My doctor will write a script tomorrow.

As for nervous breakdown...If it is as bad as how I felt at the beginning of the week, then that is what prompted me to call my doctor.

But don't worry, I am not considering suicide. I am not so severely depressed to have gotten that point.

I agree. But what's even harder are the events that lead to divorce. I am divorced (strangely now friend with my ex) and while it was bad, it was not like this.

zoloft works great. dont know what my problem was a couple years ago but my moods were swinging from being as sweet as pie one minute and ready to kill the next. stayed on them for maybe a year and then went off for probably a year now and im all fixed. so believe me i understand what ur going thru. hang in there...it will be ok

[Nutty 2]

Thank you Sara...

Do you know, the time I am happiest is when I am back in India???? I used to live in Himachel Pradesh and I consider it more my home than the USA. A lot of the stress I feel now is because I have a hard time getting used to how fast life is here compared to India.

I have to laugh at your husband's concern that it is your period causing your mood. Some men, don't intend to be so exasperating, I understand.

Thank you.

Wellbutrin Extended Release is what I am supposed to go on.

My friend said it may actually help lose weight and INCREASE libido

Wellbutrin is what they suggested...

It supposed can make you lose weight and increase libido

[Nutty 2]

I hope the diarhhea analogy makes him understand.

That made me laugh!!!! I still have a sense of humour! Thank GOD!

And it also decreased my smoking but it works.

Like I told you before Nutty dear; depression has nothing to do with willpower - it is a disease as real and insidious as any other major illness. Good to know you're taking the right steps to take care of yourself.

ok heres one. we applied for the itn number for income tax purposes, i got letter from state, etc etc of course they need the number ( i havent heard anything fr fed) so i call, sorry i cant talk to you on that its his number not yours (well yea but its attached to my income tax form) ok all i can suggest is you wait a little longer or have him call himself (do you thinkhe can call fr morocoo and hold for 15 minutes?) so i called ahmed, oh i just rec'd this letter i was reading i think it is on the tax and i do not understand it at all.....sorry we can not process etc etc we need etc etc..(which we sent) but he now doesnt understand..(well he is going to have to understand, because this is holding up my tax return which i need and they will only deal with him. Is he stressed NO am I YES

[Nutty 2]

Yeah, I have a friend who is on Wellbutrin and Zoloft (?)...She said it is the "pharmacological version of speedball."

[Nutty 2]

Gosh I didn't think of that....

That the state would hold up the tax return waiting for you to get the ITIN #.

Couldn't you file an extension with the state????

Now I have to contact my state tax department

I hope it helps my out of control eating.

Thanks Len & Bren!!!

i guess since its in their hands it should be considered (received) in time they owe me, but we did send the passport (and translation) his birth certificate and even a copy of the marriage lic and translation he is going type me what the letter says i will see when i get home, but apparently for state we should have held the form until we got the number......

We can feel your pain, just hang in there. Your patience will pay off. Take care.
