Turning 30 this year - 2 kids of my own and 3 part-time step-kids. One of which has made me a grandmother at age 29! Not sure where I am in life - am I more than a wife and Mom? This is me trying to figure out who I am again.

Drugs - literally........

It's been a while since I've posted - honestly I haven't had much to say that was worth writing down. I can feel myself falling depper into a depression and feel powerless to stop it. I actually called in sick to work one day last week because the thought of getting out of bed and showering was just too much for me. Sad, isn't it? One of these days I will do something about it.

In the meantine the thought of going on yet another medication is just not very appealing to me. I totalled up the meds I am on for various conditions - birth control, asthma, allergies, migranes - and I come up with a grand total of SEVEN prescriptions. SEVEN! Just for me alone! Not all of them are every single month - but pretty much so. And that doesn't count the over the counter stuff like cold medicine and Excedrine migrane that I seem to be popping on a regular basis. So do you see why adding Prozac to that mix doesn't sound very appealing? I am starting to wonder if I need to go find another doctor. Start from starch and see if they have a different viewpoint on my medical history and see if there are any other alternatives out there. I am normally not an "alternative" medicinal kind of girl but right about now anything sounds better than spending over $700 a year on perscription drugs!

    You DO NOT need drugs...you need to change your life. It's that simple. PLEASE, oh, PLEASE do not go on Prozac.
