    Hey all. In case yall havent noticed, Ive been gone since last Friday. Ive been in the hospital.

    I dont think Ive mentioned it, but I have clinical Depression, and I got completely overwhelmed by it on Friday. Ended up in the Psych Ward. Im doing better tho, they've got me on Prozac, and Ive got an appointment next week to go talk to a therapist.
    Im also going to sign up for insurance through the hospital, plus Medicare. The Medicare will cover the therapist, and the hospital insurance will be very helpful in taking care of my physical problems.

    So yeah, just thought Id share... ^^

    My brother takes medication for depression and doesn't want to see anyone in the family. I am glad you are taking care of yours. It can be helped and I will send good wishes your way. Dooley

    Some of my plants didnt do so well during my absence :-? My mini tangerine has disappeared (looks like something dug it up or ate it :?: ), and my newest seedlings were allowed to dry out :scheming: I just hope my seedlings arent too far gone to save...

    So sorry to hear you've not been well. :( I'm pleased though to see that you're home again and have your meds sorted. Hope they do the trick for you and that you'll soon be fully back to your old self again.
    Take care now.

    The only thing I dont like about the medicine are the side effects, which include (these are the ones that affect me) dry mouth, drowsiness and nausea (which Im feeling right now).

    I'm so glad to see you back with us, Bip. :-D
    I've missed your input.

    I was hoping that everthing was okay,
    :-? I'm sorry to learn that you've been having a hard time.

    Those side affects don't sound like fun,
    will they diminish over time, as your system adjusts?

    Glad you are back Bip. Hope the side effects from the meds subside. If not, see if another can be prescribed. Sending good thoughts your way.
