Is this pill going to make me happy?
Is it going to bring back my motivation to do things?
Is it going to change the grouchy me into a sugarcoated mom?
Will it actually make me want to iron clothes, pick up the kids happily and do all my daily chores as if I were a character in The Sound of Music??
If it is, so be it...

What is the pill?
Why are you taking it?
Do you really need it?
Sometimes things pile up on us. I have been fortunate enough to be able to escape such prescriptions.
-It's an antidepressant
-Because I seem to be moderately depressed
-I think so...
what would you suggest I do??
What feels right for you.......
I wish I knew something about depression, Nuri, but I don't. I have occasional down periods, sometimes caused by over-the-counter sleep aids, and once in a while a down period when I just am down without any apparent cause, but I hesitate to say that I'm depressed. Maybe I am, but I don't know that.
Personally, I try to avoid pills of any description, but if I really needed medication, I'd take it. So far, I have needed medication very rarely.
I try to mentally conquer whatever emotional bumps in the road that I encounter, and have been successful. Maybe that's because I really haven't had any major bumps; I don't know.
I think you have some tough circumstances to deal with, but you also have two darling little girls to brighten things up.
All of which is to say, "I don't know what to tell you."
But I hope you will continue to share your ups and downs with us here.
Thank you both!
James, I think I'm not good with struggling with my emotions... You're right, I have a lot to thank for, and no "real" reason to feel down, but... I still don't know weather this is genetic or just because I have to deal with other issues and the easiest way is to put a patch... but right now I just don't have the strength to fight "naturally". I will, at some point. I hate depending on pills.
