Down in the dumps again – challenges with adult children

Same here-my husband was in the Air Force and I never called him at work and still don’t unless it’s a true emergency.

I’m really struggling!!! I have no energy, appetite and absolutely no desire to do anything or go anywhere it’s the worst I’ve ever been. I feel numb inside almost dead inside. I just feel so awful. I started taking my Cymbalta at night to possibly help with my daytime tiredness but it hasn’t helped. Now I’m wondering if it’s the Cymbalta. Do y’all think so?

No I don’t. I take Methadone for pain. I’m really struggling and I’m suspecting it may be Cymbalta.

@kdo0827 MIght be I couldn't take Cymbalta it affected my mind I lost things and forgot something you would just tell me . How long have you been on it?

Cymbalta and Effexor are in same group and I cannot take them. I get sick.

@lioness So much for an excuse for short-term memory. They made me downright mean!! I think I am just dingy at times. Have gotten back into some Tai Chi. Missing y’all. Need to catch up.

@parus you,ve got a good sense of humor I'm going to try Tai Chi everyone says how good it makes you feel

say I need hearing aids, say what, sonny? Never been late being called for supper though. sometimes, just don't want to do something. no reason, just exercising management perogative to not do something. makes me still feeling in control of life and that feels good at age 71.

Yes, I'm a big believer in the gentle, graceful movements of Tai-Chi. I'm sure you will enjoy it, @lioness.

good beer does the same. come to think of it, even a bad beer does the same without the work. do it naked, now, that would be interesting.
