This is not uncommon. I can relate to most all of what has been said. I realized a couple of weeks ago that I would just sit there and cry and feel sorry for myself. I tried to make myself snap out of it and be thankful that I am alive, but just couldn't do it. That's when I went to my primary doctor. She was so understanding and prescribed me Celexa. She had me take 1/2 pill the first two weeks then a whole pill after that. Wow what a difference. Yes it is still hard with these life changes we have to deal with but just do your best to be there for him. Also watched American's Funniest Video's and when I start to fell bad I go to my Tivo and watch it. Laughter can be a great medicine. Stay positive !
