Smed,
I am so sorry you feel incredibly lousy. :( I suffer from severe
depression so I can empathize with those days. I too am the type of
person to not truly show how I am feeling until I absolutely trust
someone. But, going through what I have, I now am more upfront with my
feelings. I am glad that you are reaching out, you need people to
listen. As far as if the Met is causing this depression, were you
having these feelings, consistently, prior to starting Met or just had
them since beginning Met? Either way it would be a good idea to contact
your doctor, so that both of you can decide a way to resolve this. I
want you to know that there are better days ahead. If you would like to
e-mail me personally to talk about this you are more that welcome to. I
will always be glad to listen, it is a tough thing to feel this way but
please know it can and will get better.
My e-mail address is bgreg1245@worldnet.att.net And Smed, I will keep
you in my prayers.
