REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

I can always take strength and comfort from knowing I belong to a worldwide fellowship.  Hundreds and hundreds of thousands, just like myself, are working together for the same purpose.  None of us needs to ever be alone again, because each of us in our own way works for the good of others.  We are bound together by a common problem that can be solved by love and understanding and mutual service.  The Program -- like the little wheel in the old hymn -- runs by the grace of God.  HAVE I THANKED GOD TODAY FOR HELPING ME TO FIND THE PROGRAM, WHICH IS SHOWING ME THE WAY TO A NEW LIFE?

 

TODAY I PRAY

May my thanks be lifted to God each day for dispelling my self-inflicted loneliness, for warming my stoicism, for leading me to the boundless fund of friendship in The Program.

 

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

I have a world of friends.

 

 

 

 

I took wellbutrin 150 for years pre op and post op.  Generic buproprion, brand name, extended release and regular.  I have not had an issue with any of them. 

I was told the same about extended release meds and rny.  However, my surgeon reviewed and ok'd all my extended release meds to be continued post op unless they were problematic.   In two years none had to be changed due to rny. 

I've been battling depression for years. I've been carrying, taking care of my daughters father for 5 going on 6 years. He will not work, go look for a job or seek training to get a job. When his last job went out of business 5 years ago he would not even apply for unemployment.

He's  just too depress to get out of  bed and do anything for himself. When I complain about his actions he turn them around on me and say that I have the problem. He is fine. Well I've been carrying his weight along with a child/teenage with special needs. I threatened to kick him out, leave him at a shelter, tried to be understanding but all the problems again lay on my shoulders  AGAIN.  I have the problem. He is fine ....

Both my daughter and myself are living under this cloud of his depression. It is difficult dealing with my own. Not only depression... comes his negativity about every little aspect of our life.

Yesterday, I decided to move into my daughter's room. One night in a seperate bed, I feel different. The cloud/fog has lifted and I see thing clearly. I do not feel overwhelmed like my legs and arms are tied. 


I am looking for insight... any.

I hope that everyone is finding the help that they need.  I am STILL really struggling with this issue.  It is SOOOO hard!!
