Good God Racer, talk about getting hit from every angle possible! If problems would only come one at a time instead of in tidal waves, eh? Wow, I'm glad you got through it all and are here to share your wise advice, though I know it couldn't have been easy. I too lost my Dad (suddenly) during this time and I wish I could have figured out all this crap about the Paxil before losing him so I could have done more with him instead of sitting here like a bump on a log.
I can't wait to feel like myself again. To get my passions back for my painting, to feel alive and awake and to feel excitement. I want to *want to be* sociable again, to feel like respecting my appearance again, to have the energy to rid myself of the weight that came on from paxil. I want to enjoy doing things with my kids again and to feel butterflies in my tummy when I'm happy - I miss that. I used to enjoy talking and visiting and I've been darned close to being a shut in for 4 years, avoiding people, not wanting to speak at all, not to ANYONE. I do have a renewed hope that maybe I'm not lost forever! I just have to find that alternative AD that will keep my depression at bay and still let me feel alive and figure a way to lose these pounds which seem resistant to efforts to get rid of them, although I haven't really had the energy to put forth much of a consistant effort. Has anything worked for you?
