Hi everyone,
I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and to thank the members of crossdressers.com for all of the love, support, and advice during the difficult year that I have had. Despite covid and everyone's own difficulties this year your continued support has been a lifesaver. I honestly do not think that I could have made it to the New Year without you.
Right before Christmas I felt like I was hanging by a thread. My depression had seemed to have a life of its own and I felt as if it were a roaring wind pulling me deeper down and removing my ability to think clearly. I had missed several days of work and was drinking far more than I ever would have normally. I finally listened to the advice that a forum member had given me in a PM and I called my family doctor and told them what was going on and how I was feeling. I was told to come in immediately. After several long conversations with my doctor I was prescribed an anti depression medication and referred to see the clinics therapist.
Lexipro is a wonderful medication and coupled with a little therapy I have been feeling much better. I no longer feel like I am battling just to take my next breath. I have a long way yet to go but I know that I have the love and support of my daughter, brother and this forum to help me get through the divorce and whatever decision I should make regarding transition. Thank you!
With Love
Rachel
