Depression

Just read a post on the following link:

Depression is a big part of grieving and a natural process in recovery and doesn't need medicaiton. Working the Steps and going to meetings heal.

It talked about anti-depressants and confirms that they don't always
work for people with fibromyalgia. My doctor tried me on three
different kinds and the fourth one they tried just caused liver
damage, yet Viox is suppose to be the greatest thing since sliced
bread for people with arthritis.

They made me feel like I had a giant sized hand on the top of my head
hholding me down. It was like they were preventing me from being me
and I would rather be mobile and in pain, than a couch potatoe
zombie. Exercise is important and it is difficult to get through the
pain to start it, but it is so cruitial to "living" in today.

They showed three different groups: stressed, partly stressed, and
not stressed, and I belong at one time or another in the first two
categories, mind you, it is quite often self-inflicted.

I know I am capable of shutting down and shutting off when "I" want
to do something, then wonder why I am in pain afterward because I
didn't feel it in the moment. Last night was a bad night for me, and
when I looked out I knew why, it was raining. I generally start to
hurt two days before it gets here.
