Any word from Donna?

Lynn,
Thanx for asking about me. Been struggling a lot with some depression and a general lack of energy. Haven't been doing alot of things that I should be - taking my vitamins, exercising, eating properly. Struggling with the regain and with shame at this point. My sleep patterns are way off - can't fall asleep until 3 AM and then sleep until 11 or 12. Have been doing volunteer work 2 days a week which has been helpful. Just in a dark spot. Need to talk to my psych about dosage or med change and I need to give myself a kick in the pants.
Glad to hear about the decisions you reached regarding your work and moving to Florida. Enjoy the weather down there. I always like seeing you post on the board. Take care.

Donna, good to hear from you. I was at Barix on Saturday and missed seeing you.
Sounds like you need to work closely with your doc for a while. If a kick in the pants would do it, well, we'd all be doing whatever it is in our own lives. We kick ourselves all too well.
There was a woman at Barix on Sat. who was dealing with regain (and shame, and feelings of failure). It was hard for her to come but please know that the group was wonderful. Each and every one of us knows "there but for the grace of God go I." Don't stay away, friend.
The FL story is tentative for now. On one hand I am hoping that something falls into place. On the other hand, there is a big difference between going down for a couple of weeks and actually living there on my own (even for a while).
