LONELY ISOLATED IN NEW YORK

Hello everybody I am here in New York by myself in the midst of deep depression not finding much joy in anything. I’m supposed to start Pristiq for whatever that’s worth as Lexapro is doing nothing to get me out of this hell. Is there anyway that there are groups with video chatting? Seeing a person I’m sure we do not only me some good but everyone

Greetings, Maxine,

I am TRULY sorry to read that you're in such pain.:( I have been on Lexapro and Pristiq. I would advise you to contact you doctor and/or psychiatrist, but you also mentioned being alone. That can make a bout of depression even worse. Stick with this medicine for the time being. Contact your doctors ASAP!!! Whatever you do DO NOT HURT YOURSELF OR ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!

You are not alone, I live by myself, have no family, good friend died last Aug, I see all the emails, I think of us like a big circle holding hands, that way we are not alone. Just by writing to us here we are making contact. Look on line and see if there are any chat rooms available, people want and need contact. I am lucky I am on cymbalta 50 mg in a.m. and trazadone 100 mg at bed time. I am depression and anxiety free, and sleep like a baby. I do not get lonely or bored as there is so much to see and do. I wish you well, sending peace, love n hugs....Sprinkle 1.....

Hi Maxine,

I'm here in New York also. Alone and depressed. Sorry. I can't offer much help. I'm in the same boat. ☹
