> Hi KDi,, thanks so mich for your kind reply, I really appreciate it! I seem to repeat the same mistakes over and over. At times I feel like I want this to cvhange,, but then I want to stay stuck and that's crazy!!! I did call a therapist today, but haven't heard back. What do you mean by re-live those old relationships? They are gone now, never will return-it just isn't reality or possible. I like the journal idea. I did that for a few years, but I didn't suffer from depression hmm I wonder why? LOL
> Thank you for the hugs, I need them right now-I really do!

> > I'm glad you posted. If everything turns to (you know what), you may be continuously repeating the same mistake. Picking the same *type* of person over and over. Therapy would be best. That's how I experienced my emotional awakening. Therapy plus my positive reaction with Effexor. Lacking the funds for that, I would try to find someone kind and trustworthy willing to listen like a therapist. Therapists ask questions to redirect your self-analysis at different perspectives, offer suggestions, but never tell you what you need to do. If you don't like opening up to someone, start a journal. Re-live those failed relationships, making notes of how you felt then, what you liked about it, what you hated about it, and why you think it ended. A cliff notes version of your life. That would be beneficial even if you ended up doing therapy. Maybe you'll see a pattern.

Everything I do seems to turn to (you know what) If I'm whining, so be it, but I feel really bad tonight, I have been taking Lexapro for about 11 days now and I realized that I need some really good therapy, but where do I start??? It seems thatt every therapist wants $300/hour! DO I see an intern? Where do I look? Will I ever get past my issues? Does it ever get better? I bought OTC sleeping pills tonight becasue the Lexapro is making me wired and I cant sleep. But I don't want to get hooked on them.

Keep On!
