hi from a stranger

Sorry I have been missing in action for awhile. I was in a homeless shelter for 3 months til I found a place to live. Been a little crazy where I live. I'm currently living in a rooming house. I was assualted a couple of weeks after I moved in by a neighbor and was back in the hospital for a week due to that. I had another neighbor tell me my antidepressants are illegal. I was put on Wellbutrin back in July. I was also back in the hospital back in November the week of thanksgiving and my Prozac was upped to 60mgs. I have been going through therapy called transitions Monday thru Friday. Each one is an e visit which can be either checking in with a therapist or some kind of group that the hospital is offering to me. I've now become a hoarder of adult coloring books that I need to color in. LOL. I was taken off the trazadone due to sleeping almost 14 hours a night sometimes

Hi hlangdon, I've been wondering how you were doing. I'm truly sorry to hear

about the assault you experienced. I just shake my head in disbelief in what our society

has become. I am glad to hear that you are getting continued transitional therapy and hope

that puts you in a better place emotionally. I hope you will be keeping in touch with your

friends here. We missed you :) xx

I can't imagine how hard your last few weeks have been. I don't know what to say just wanted to let you know I am sorry.

I have some coloring books myself - Lol.

I too am addicted to adult coloring books. They calm and ease my mind and anxiety. Great outlet. I'm staring a program this coming week going to groups and therapy Monday thru Friday. Its virtual right now but I'm nervous. I've been in mental health groups before but it's been a long time. However I try to look at the positive and know this program is what I need right now. Thank you for posting.

Sounds like you aren’t yet On The right medication. Ask for a mood stabilizer and Effexor for depression and see if that helps. Wellbutrin and Prozac used to work for me but not now so I started taking Effexor and Buspirone for depression and anxiety along with the mood stabilizer +propranolol. I’m healed !!
