Cheslie, hang in there. Spring is coming. Jim saw buds on the lilacs today and a robin.
If you need the anti depressents don't feel like it is a failure. There is nothing wrong with taking medication when it is needed. It is no different than taking meds for high cholesterol. Your exercise should help. I know the feeling of not being motivated. Many days after a few minutes on the treadmill I think I can't do this, then I talk to myself and remind me that I did it yesterday and I can do it today.
I have been OP today too. No exercise but did fine foodwise.
We went to SS and church this morning and then Scott watched the Daytona 500 and I took a nap. I didn't mean to, but I slept for almost 2 hours! I have a touch of a cold, and I think I must have needed the extra rest?
Chelsie, don't think a thing about taking to medication if you need it! A couple years ago I tried some and it didn't work for me. I tried Lexapro first and it made me so tired, I was falling asleep talking on the phone. Then we tried Effexor and that did the same thing. Last we tried Prozac and that didn't make me sleepy, but it didn't do a thing for the depression. Wes takes zoloft and has been on medication since he was 8 years old. E-mail me personally if you want the whole story. It is a long and painful one, but I give thanks to God for the meds. They saved his life - literally. :)
I hope everyone enjoys the day off tomorrow. I think we will take the kids to the .50 cent movie to see Bolt tomorrow.
