Hi. I'm a newbie. Clinical depression bigtime after my girl of 2+ years dropped me. Things were great until she hit a grief wave of anniversaries from her deceased daughter and husband, and she retreated into herself from me. This happened last year too but we got back together. I continue to pray fervently for her return, but am losing hope. Started citalopram (Celexa) a few days ago, and trazodone for sleep. No help from either yet. I really just need to vent, so thanks for listening. Any other help and prayers appreciated.

So sorry that you are going through this and her by the sounds of it. The Celexa will take couple weeks to kick in, peronally would only go on 10 mg to start, especially with the other thing, just to see how you feel on it. For many it will induce a better sense of balance and calm, though you should also look at other non medication assistance like talking therapies, hypnosis for anxiety, get them free on you tube, just have to go through a few to find what voice and content suits you, (there will be many that can help). Michael Sealy, The Honest Guys, Linda Hall and Jason Stephenson are just a few.
I wish you all the best and am confident that things will improve for you.
Hi and welcome to HU. I'm sorry your going thru this. Hopefully the medicine will help you feel better. Grief affects everyone differently and sometimes its difficult to reach the person going through grief and the same with people with depression. All I can suggest is too take care of yourself and be there for her. You cannot fix the loss but you can be there for her if only to hug her and let her know she is not alone and is loved.
