@jimhd @1634517678 @njp1013 Thanks. I'm doing pretty good today. The depression is under control and the anxiety is almost gone. I ended up having to call the doctor since I was getting terrible headaches from the Mirtazapine. I slept OK without it last night but still had a headache this morning. The headache is gone now so maybe it just had to get out of my system. Still waiting for the doctor to call back today to see what he wants to do. I may be back to just melatonin for this weekend.
I went to my daughter's parent teacher conference last night and talked to the teachers. My daughter is doing very well. This morning when I was picking up my daughter for school, my wife asked me what happened at the conference last night. I was actually able to tell her. I remembered several of the conversations I had had with the teachers and was able to relate them to my wife. It really made my morning. Maybe it was the depression or the medication I was on that was causing the problems. Maybe the lack of sleep. I don't know at this point but I'm feeling pretty good about it.
The school had a presenter from NAMI come in to talk to us about mental illness. They had a presenter earlier in the day talk to the kids. It was a really good presentation and discussion about mental illness and how to help kids that are dealing with it. I really wish my wife had gone to it because a lot of things she says were talked about and debunked.

that is great to hear 🙂 it sounds like your wife is one of the lucky ones that doesnt have to understand what this is all about, and rather than having gratitude for that thinks its because she is somehow 'stronger'. well she is wrong. sounds like you are doing great and should be very proud of yourself. hopefully i am feeling better soon too.

@mandrake70 It's nice to see your uplifting post here! I hope that you have a great rest of the day, and that your weekend is what you want it to be. No matter whether it is better sleep, or meds, the fact that your recall is better is wonderful! Give yourself a pat on the back, please, since I cannot reach through the cyber-space except virtually ;))

@mandrake70 Your post is really uplifting. It sounds as if you are getting more control over things and as if the medication definitely had an influence on your memory and state of mind. I am very happy for you. I'm glad too that your daughter is doing well, and that you felt good about talking with your wife! So much good in your post.
