hello
im andrea and i have suffered from anxiety/depression problems for about ten years now. I am trying to gather up the balls to ask my doc for a rx for Zoloft...i just dont want to admit defeat yet again. I have mild to moderate OCD and lots of manic tendencies. The racing thoughts are unbearable, esp at night and im exhausted. As I write this now, i should be going to bed but i dread another night of trying to sleep. Glad to have found this board and hope we all get better!!!

Re: hello
Welcome, and we hope you feel better, too!
Please remember that going to the doctor does not equal defeat, though! Getting the help you need is a strength, not a weakness. I am sure it took a lot to admit to yourself the problems you are having...take credit for that! You are a strong woman for all you do. One of the best things you can do for yourself and your family is to get the help you need to start recovering from depression.
I am with ya on the exhaustion. Just this morning as I had to drag myself from bed to get Alannah ready for a day at grandma's, and myself ready for work, I felt I just couldn't bear to do it, I am so tired. I am here now, and battling fatigue. I want nothing more than to curl up in a corner and shut everything out. But being here on this board helps me get through everyday. I hope you find some rest, too. The Zoloft might just do that for you (it is helping me sleep, although I realize I still have a ways to go on being myself again).
Good luck to you, and please see your doctor! Remember, the ladies on this board will be here to support you, too!
((Hugs))
