Well, this discussion hit home for me! The last 2 months have been depression city for me. I get my attitude great and the next day, I'm a mess. Alice, what is the new drug you heard about? Sounds like just the thing for me. I'm battling anxiety (never had that problem) and depression. Makes me so mad.
The only thing that saves me is that I'm so compulsive and have to get things done. Gaining weight is not an option!!! But my life is way too limited. Help! ma
