Oh Stephanie, you sure have so much going on in your life. I've been on and off antidepressants and I do not notice a difference, but that's just me. Now, I've been on xanax which is for anxiety and that helps me a lot. I don't think it would hurt to try the "happy pills" (hehehehe) and if they aren't for you, then you taper off or stop.
Please know Stepanie that you are in my prayers

I have a website. www.suggiebabies.com and then you can go to http://www.glidercentral.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=c frm to get more info on sugar gliders. Currently I have white faced blonds and my gray pair which I'm sure is what you saw at the fair is currently pregnant. It's always a good idea to get them from a breeder. The ones at the fair are taken away too young. You can see on my website the female that I just sold to a lady name Coeli she had gotten one from the fair and it died. It was taken away from mom and dad way too young. They also inbreed which cause all kinds of defects.

Thanks again Suz...the definition gave really describes me to a" T" (Having generalized anxiety just means that you are a bit more sensitive than the average person would be to everyday problems and events around you).

Well, there were two points that I also wanted to make in my last post but that I neglected to say:
First, if you were worried that you would become dependent on the anti-depressant medications, you need not worry about that. It is not something that you can become addicted to or dependent on as you might with other types of medications. Anti-depressants are non-narcotic and don't produce a "high"...they are only there to keep seratonin levels high enough for your brain to absorb what it needs to keep your emotional state steady.
Secondly, we all need help sometimes. Having generalized anxiety just means that you are a bit more sensitive than the average person would be to everyday problems and events around you. It doesn't mean that you are crazy, out of control, or unable to take care of yourself or others. It is simply a description of your sensitivity and ability to "absorb" problems. No one needs to be "super" anything. We, as women, always seem to do too much...but coupled with anxiety, we drive ourselves crazy with worry about not having done enough.
Be kind to yourself!! Take help (in any form necessary) if you need it, and don't feel guilty or ashamed...instead be proud to know your limits and be proud of your ability to ask for help when you need it.

Oh- no way!!! Like I said it's been a long time and after having my own children after years of "preaching" to the parents of other children- I try to keep my mouth shut!!! It's WAY harder on the actual living side of the fence!!! Then again- isn't everything?
My 2 stepdaughters acted out in their earlier ages and their later teen years haven't been nearly as dreadful as the early teens. It was awful at the time- but looking back- the issues, challenges and consequences do seem to escalate with age and I'm glad their rebellion years were earlier. They've settled very nicely into their 17th and 20th years, although we certainly aren't without our issues- it certainly isn't the battle/war zone it once was. :)

Congratulations Anna on your small petite size.
I have a question for you. I have been inquiring about a sugar glider as a pet. I went to a festival and they had sugar gliders there and allowed you to hold them. Ever since I held one I have been thinking about them. You did say you breed them or had some right? If you can give me a good website to get more information on them I would appreciate it.
Thanks alot and enjoy those little clothes I know I do. LOL

Thanks Belle! I am going to seriously pray and think about it over the weekend and be more open minded about the meds...Thanks for taking time out to read this too! lol I know it took all day! I will keep you guys posted on what I decide.

Thanks Suz!! As usual you have given a great response. I appreciate all the information and you sharing your personal experience with me. My PCP said I had generalized anxiety disorder and I am like..what the heck is that? I don't feel like I have a problem but it seems to keep coming up and my PCP and my new internal medicine doctor don't know each other but they both came to the same conclusion and it shook me up a bit...I am thinking am I that messed up and don't realize it? Whoa is me..what's a girl to do. Maybe I did not give the meds a chance the first time around because I don't want to depend on anything or anyone...and I know that is aproblem too..thinking I can do everything by myself...which is wrong especially when there are ppl and meds that can help. I have to get over the superwoman syndrome and maybe follow the experts advice. Thanks again and I do appreciate the response....and it was not nearly as long as the one I wrote! lol
