Hi Tepiaca:
My heart goes out to you. I do know what it feels like to be in this devastating depth of darkness and depression. It is so hard for others to understand, but not for those of us here. You have so many friends who care about you and can relate and are here to listen to what you are going through. To share their own experiences and offer suggestions. It is hard to be so disabled that just brushing our teeth and bathing is too much. I have been through all of this ........ the lack of appetite, no interest in anything, shutting ourselves away from family.........
Just getting through another hour can seem impossible. Yet, we do it and before we know it we have made it through to another day. The hard part is to have just finished yet another round of meds, that didn't work, to try yet again. I have just started three new meds again for the umpteenth time. We know that we have to wait from 2 - 8 weeks for the meds to work and this may seem like an eternity. Then we have to wait and see if it works.You are a fighter with a lot of courage, or you wouldn't still be here trying again. Nardil is an excellent drug for so many. I agree with others that you should not mix it with Parnate. Perhaps you could try some of the other suggestions. If you cannot do it alone, do you have one friend or family member who could help you?
Tepiaca, it takes a lot of guts to reach out like this and open yourself up. I would venture to say that you are helping others who are feeling like you do but are not capable of getting their feelings down. They are probably reading your post and do not feel so alone and helpless. Please keep writing and letting us know how you are doing.
I think it is a blessing that you have God in your life. Do you have any prayer lines that you can call? I know that, for me, when things are at their darkest in the middle of the night, these wonderful people are there to listen and to pray with you. Maybe you could find out if there are any prayer lines or any outreach lines that you can call, anytime when things may become unbearable.
Keep hanging on. Your friends are here to help you and listen and to care for and about you.
Bless you,
maryhelen
