   Hey Pauline, Yes it is early here in GA. Did you get my last email to you?? Probley with all that is going on with you, you might have mist it. BTW : ) My Ray went through close to what you are going through "3 days" out of the hospital. "she" packed her things and said she had called "his daughter" and she was coming to take care of him and left. THEN two months later asked him to let her come back and live in town cause she had been diagnose with copd/empazima and couldn't keep the lights on for her ox and needed someone to take care of "her". Ray of coarse being the kind man he is let her. He did all the cooking, cleaning, paying all the bills, all of it. She was in a wheel chair and could hardly get out of bed. This went on for 2 years or more. Ray contacted me in November of last year. things went from there. First thing he tolled me was he had made her a promise to take care of her till the end and the first thing I tolled him was we could be friends and email each other till he was finished there. Then 6 months ago she said she didn't want him there anymore and wanted her sons to take care of her. It was Ray's out of his promise. This is the kicker. Rays daughter said as soon as Ray left "she" was up and walking. So she used Ray and his good heart (no pun intended) to save her money and then again wanted him out. The good ending was Ray and I were able to start our lives sooner. Keep the faith. God has a plan for you. And it will be better then what you had. Just ask him to show you the way and he will. Ray and I are blessed to have each other again. He was the last man I was ever with (12 years ago: ) and now I know why. You too will find someone better then what you had. My 12 years alone gave me time to grow in my self and be a better person and a Christian. Remember Prayer is power. hugs nancy

   I have noticed that several on here take two anti-depressants. What would be the reason for that. Seems like one medication would be enough as often two SSRI's are being given at the same time. Since they are both for depression, does anyone know why some doctors use two at the same time. The psychiatrist I saw gave me prozac at 10mg and never mentioned taking anything else. I have taken xanax for panic/anxiety attacks for about 20 years and the psychiatrist ask me to quit the xanax but that made no sense to me since it works and does so within 30 minutes. The prozac took about a month if it actually worked at all which I sometimes wonder. I did get over the depression but maybe that would have resolved by itself. There is no withdrawal with prozac as it has a long half-life and I probably took it about 6 months longer than I needed to as it was a security blanket for me until the psychiatrist told me I was taking a very low dose that would not have worked for severe depression that's when I wondered if it really did anything or if time just took care of the depression but it was so scary for me I didn't want to quit the prozac and risk those feelings returning. I thought panic attack was bad until I had the depression and I do not want that shit ever again. Ann

   Ann, I don't understand the reason for two either...but have wondered the same thing. It's strange that you'd rather have panic attacks than depression. ( not that we get to pick and choose which we have, nor do we want EITHER! But, I feel the exact opposite.....I guess it depends on how severe either symptom is for you. My panic attacks were very severe, and left me unable to breathe and feeling like I was having a heart attack. I was very paranoid, and got to where I didn't answer doors, telephones, or go anywhere. I stuttered when I talked; actually more like gasping for breathe to talk. Depression just makes me cry, sleep, and be bitchy. Don't want to be that way, but.....I prefer it over panic attacks any day! Guess we are all wired differently. Connie Ann Ray <annsachybreakyheart@...
