Hey Dulligirl, I have absolutely no advice but I don't think you're looking for any. I know what it's like to be used to the Paxil, miss taking it for a few days and then to feel the downward slide. I have felt the good feeling (meaning the lack of depression) Paxil gives me and had the thought that I might be able to deal with life WITHOUT meds. Then if I miss two or three days worth I do get a small sample of what life is like without the meds and it is much too overwhelming. It is like Dante's ninth circle of Hell and that does nothing to buoy my spirits. It's not a good feeling to know I can't "control" my mood. At times it seems so simple to me. Like you said, just think of England. Being depressed is not viewed by society like having diabetes or high blood pressure is. However, that is the analogy my doctor gives me whenever I mention this. This long ramble is just me giving you a playful punch in the arm while saying, "This does suck Dulligirl. I have a small idea of how you feel and I don't like it either."

Like Cardiogirl, I have no advice for you either. I don't think you were really seeking it, like you said in your post you just needed to write it all down to get it out. Boy do I understand that. Can I perhaps ask an obvious question? What steps have you taken thus far to try and meet other men? Are you a member of any of the online dating sites? Have you put an ad out in the newspaper (how out of date am I?)? Mr. Right just isn't going to knock on your door one day, it's time for you to go out and find what you want and deserve!

I think we feel lonley because we don't like being with ourselves. Can't see the value in our own self, so we seek out other people to fill that for us. Usually it's guys that we look to to give us that love instead of us just liking US and valuing that kind of thing. And you won't be alone forever, it's not going to happen. Do you by chance go for guys that you "think" are unavailable because you're afraid on some level that they'll get close? I do that...I didn't realize it. OH OH OH have you watched "The Secret?" It's gotten really commercialized and people find it new-agey, but it sure made a huge difference in the way I go about thinking about things. I'll send you a copy if you email me at [email protected]! You'll like it, I promise!
