Day two on wellbutrin

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give a quick update about what's going in my life since being on Wellbutrin while being a new mom to a 3 month old ( as of today :) ). I am slowly adjusting to the medicine, I notice a mild difference in my mood far as I don't feel anxious as much. This morning I received some news about a church member who passed away from a heart attack in which I knew him for years. In fact, we share the same birthdays! I just spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.. After receiving this sudden news, I felt depress and heart ache for his family especially his mother. When the family make the final arrangements for his services, I'm debating if I need to attend. I want to pay my respects to the family but, at the same time I don't do well at funerals meaning I don't want to see someone at their complete stage of life. It all started when my mother died and during her services I had to sit in the front and view her throughout the services. At the aged of 30 I still see this image from time to time and my mother died when I was 9. When my grandma died last year, I did the service arrangements alone and when it was everything was finalize, I couldn't see her in that way. I had to ask my sister to view her before the services. The only thing I seen was a close casket. Death is something I can't handle, even if it happens to someone I don't know. I know death is apart of life but, to be honest with you guys this is something I can't grasp... I'm afraid of death

Hello Sheila!

Death is difficult for everyone, I believe. I can understand your fear of death, especially after the passing of your Mother when you were only 9. I believe you will face that fear when you’re ready. Not attending the funeral of your friend is your call solely. Don’t beat yourself up for not going, if that’s ultimately what you choose to do.

I’m the exact opposite and it really helps me to see someone in death as it helps me with a feeling that it’s real and I can then finalize the death in my head. So, it takes all kinds to make the world go ‘round. I really believe you will face death when you’re ready! Wishing you the best!!

I’m afraid of death too.

I know how you feel, last year I flatlined and once stabilized I had a mini stroke, I also have cancer, it's been a very difficult year but I've been able to cope and adjust through prayer, some days are better than others, I struggle daily with anxiety and depression but I am a Jehovah's Witness and I have support and love from a very dear sister in the congregation. You don't need to be scared, trust in Jehovah. I'm here for you if you would like to talk. Just remember that you are not alone.

Mornin,Sheila,your fear is very common. Many experience death of loved ones in the very same way.Am sorry for your loss,I also lost my Mom,but I took care of her,she was a dialysis patient.Mom wanted to die at home.We had Hospice involved,but I was her caretaker. I am grateful I have no fear of death. When we think about it,it is US,the ones left without them,that feel sad,empty..they have left their bodies,but I believe in God, My faith is strong,and I believe if we live a good life,we will see them again..I cried,was sad,,went thru all the emotions. If you decide not to attend funeral,it’s alright.You need not explain,send a heartfelt card,say a prayer,no one should be judgement.If someone is,are they really a friend? Enjoy your life,you are lucky to be blessed with a new baby 👶. I was losing mine,when,at 27,while doin a D&C,Doc found an Endometriosis tissue, decided,on his own,to remove my Uterus! When I woke up,the nurse came in and said the procedure went well. But,Doc removed your Uterus..by law,he should have taken a tissue sample,had it analyzed,woke me,discussed it,before he removed it.. I was devastated,as I love children! It took me a few years to accept it. But,what doesn’t kill you,only makes you stronger!!

I’ve been on Wellbutrin many years.I have Panic Disorder. I’ve been on everything, this works awsm for me!! I take 300mg., in am.

Sounds like your life is goin in a positive direction! The fear of death,I believe, is because death is unknown..as for me,my faith gives daily strength,brings me joy,love,and happiness. I wish you well,enjoy your life,we all get bumps in the road..take one day at a time,enjoy your sweet child,smile,Jesus loves you and yours.
