I've really been struggling lately

Hi Shelli,

Thanks for understanding and for reaching out. To be honest, I have tried most of the meds on the market. I take a significant '****tail' and am pretty closely monitored. While I am truly struggling right now, I have, unfortunately been in much worse shape before. It is because the meds I take do help some that I am able to be as functional as I am ... even though that functionality is marginal ... at best. I'm better today that I was, but still very meloncholly. I am really working on it, but as you know it's a real process and sometimes it takes a while to climb back out of the dark hole.

There's a Zumba Dance Party that I'd been really looking forward to going to ... part of me wants to go, the other part ... the more dangerous wants to hibernate. I'll have to see how tomorrow goes. I'm also going to meet group of folks from Duke tomorrow at lunch that formed a loose support gorup that meets monthly. When I'm like this, I know that I need socialization, but it's hard. I feel like the kid standing on the outside of the school fence... It's all me, not how people are 'making' me feel. I'm working on it...

I'm also rambling... so, I'll just say thank you again and good night.

Barb

Thank you...
