Thank you so much! I am a big supporter of acupuncture and it cured my back issues. You are right! I will try it. But I am also feeling, today, as I have in the past, that I am going to give in. It’s almost too exhausting all the stuff I have to go through just to be and feel normal.

My symptoms are the feeling of what I used to call “homesick” in my tummy. Now I know that as anxiety.

I’ve had it most of my life, looking back, and have been a snappy individual - as in always with a quick and sarcastic retort... irritable but funny. So I got by. It made people laugh.

Now I’m not doing so good. Since my dad died I truly don’t see a point in doing a lot of things. Not thinking “S” but definitely wondering what it’s all for.

Thinking of trying Lexipro. Just an easy SSRI to lift my mood. I’m on nothing now, so it won’t interfere with anything. I am truly at a loss and meanwhile it’s a beautiful day and I am, otherwise, healthy. There is truly no reason to feel this way.

And funnily, when it lifts, it just plain lifts. So strange! (But it doesn’t last!)

Just wondering if I should stay off the meds completely and the lifts will continue or throw in the towel.
