Feel paralyzed by my sadness and depression

I really don't think it is a good idea for doctors to medicate a person because someone else is causing them big problems. Maybe on a temporary basis, perhaps. It takes two to make life better. It takes action, on the part of the suffering person. I spent years volunteering and helping others. It preserved my self respect and my initiative. Healthy nutrition and exercise and a good night's sleep is essential. Setting goals and working on a personal project is helpful.
I lived to please another person and it nearly destroyed me. We all need to take care of ourselves in order to be able to live and work with others. Dorisena

I have seen the good results that can come from medication for OCD in children and adults. One relative chose to go off the meds as she matured and is a happy, successful person who has learned to overcome her issues. No medicine now. It can happen. Dorisena
