she told me they gave her trazodone last night. for someone like me it's nothing but for a newbie, it'll do the trick. It's an antidepressant as well as a sleep aid. First time I took it I was really, really sleepy but then I got used to it. They tell depressed insomniacs to take it at night but it really leaves me with a hung-over feeling that lasts for 3-4 hours.

I don't like it; but it might work for her.

Just spoke with her...

She thinkin' HARD right now: about how things came to the crisis point, and where exactly she wants to go from here.

Her voice is focused and full of humor.

She's in the Pit, but she ain't kneelin'.

How can I not love her?

Oh I love it. It conks me out and the neurotin keeps me out. Waking up is a bit slow esp. if I took 2 Traz. But yeah, the first time? 3, 2, 1 ...

Thanks for keeping us updated Henry and Tril. She is stronger and smarter and nicer than she gives herself credit for, she'll be up and on top of this soon.

Henry, I know she is really smart and probably wont need it, but there is a book by David Burns - Feeling Good, The New Mood Therapy - that helped me A LOT after I surfaced from my stress related breakdown (he also wrote a companion handbook, which actually meant more to me). He is one of the prime developers of Cognitive Therapy. I still use these books from time to time.

CBT is a life changer, but it's work. Feeling Good is an excellent, easy to read book. I recommend it, too.

Wow, Pico. That's the exact book that turned my life around (along with some help from a counselor). But the book made the difference. It takes practice, like anything worthwhile, but you can learn to change your inner dialogue.

There was someone here recently who said they were depressed and didn't know why. I meant to post this book as a recommendation, but forgot.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this book changed my life.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I have a long road ahead re: retraining my brain as far as negative thoughts and beating myself up and...a lot of things. I am home as of yesterday and i am working on a few things while trying not to look at the mountain. I have no idea what will happen when i get back to work but i will be prepared for any of the options.

My family and friends (here and on here) have been very supportive and that means so much. Some don't understand it, i know, but that is ok too.

I got beautiful flowers from sarge and tril that really brighttened my room. I met some wonderful people and the staff was great.

Thanks henry for being a conduit, and for loving me for exactly who i am.

I probably won't post much for a while, but you're in my thoughts, my friends.

Good luck with figuring it all out. You know we're all in your corner. I'm glad you're taking a step back and focusing on you.
