| You can get them from between $15 and $50 at a thrift store. I really don't care for more than $50 worth of ceiling fan. I am more particular because I am likely to stare at them quite a bit (as does my son). So it has to be "right." I stare at the computer screen. So a screensaver you can download... |

| Ster, This is by no means meant in a negative way (I just wanted to state that in the beginning). Just a few years ago, one of my best friends quit taking her Lithium after being on some dosage of it for many years. She killed herself shortly afterwards. She began with the idea that she didn't need ... |

| Oh yeah. I NEARLY forgot this one: Our local Supercenter is having air conditioning troubles---for the past 5 years. So, when the air turns on, the noise is unbearable. Grinding, warbling, and chuffing. The noise of it absolutely consumes my thoughts and I usually leave without completing my shopping. |

I have no medication to recommend. I just wanted to send you a hug and warm wishes.
Have you considered that this latest round of depression could be post-partum depression?
I have no idea how old your child is or what your overall symptoms are, but I thought that it was worth mentioning. |

My son (7) is a moderately functioning Autistic.
I am an aspie, so I may not be the person that you're looking to talk to.

At different times in my life, I have been diagnosed as having depression, anxiety, being obsessive/compulsive, and being a manic depressive---none of which were precisely right. I've been on many different kinds of medi... |

That's what they'll do to us when they get prenatal diagnostics. :cry: Lots of people---me included---didn't do any genetic testing during pregnancy. I'll love whatever God sends me. So...I see no point in finding out. We knew that we w... |
