Doing well

[Cookie2217]

Hi everyone. So I just wanted to put a post up to say that I'm doing pretty well right now. I've been on Prozac now for about 3 months and it's really been a game changer for me. Oh the wonders of modern medicine! My husband's cousin Dave who's a therapist himself talked to me a lot about Prozac and told me that it's the medicine that has been on the market the longest for depression and that it has helped him too. This gave me hope enough to change my medication.to see if it could possibly do the same for me and it has so far so good.... Before that I was in a four-year battle with a depressive episode that was so devastating and debilitating all the same time. I couldn't even see my way out of it and gave into it all. At that point in my life I had lost everything. Maybe not everything but close to it. I lost my job, then my home and had to resort to living in my sister's basement and she was absolutely awful to my husband and I while we were there. I became even more depressed and didn't even get out of bed at all for the months of January, February. and March of 2024, except to go to work and come right home once again. I had absolutely no desire to do anything. I was at my lowest point but switching it up in July and trusting in my husband's cousin who convinced me to do a medication change, it has literally changed my life for the better. I wish I did it sooner so I didn't have to suffer like that for so long but I guess it was my destiny and journey to take. I finalky tried and did it eventually coming out the other side of the darkness. This bleak, hopeless, and helpless well of dread that I was living in....day in and day out that almost swallowed me whole. That's the best way I can describe how I felt at that time. I wouldn't wish that on anyone whatsoever as it was so lonely. I felt that no one could understand me and I was completely on my own. Before moving to my sister's house I would try to sleep all day and night so I wouldn't be awake for long. Living that way was just as bad as not living at all are unable to reach your true potential because I wasn't living I was just existing back then. I'm so grateful and so very blessed to have realized that I needed to change for the better. I began to trust in others again that had told me to try Prozac. I decided... "why not what would the harm in trying something I've never been on before." I decided to give it a shot and low and behold it worked! I haven't felt this good in years! I just want to say thank you to Dave, my husband's cousin bless his heart, because he hoped to save my life because I was not present for anything. All I knee was pain and anguish along with hurt and worthlessness. Now, by trying this medication I am now hopeful and present in every way for my husband and for my friends and family. I'm now participating in life again finally and loving every minute of it! Thank you Lord for making people smart enough to make antidepressants like Prozac for people like me that suffer with depression. You don't have to suffer alone that's the lesson I learned and it might have taken me four long years but I finally crawled out of that hole that I was in so I can enjoy my life once again!
