[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 488199, member: 3419"] {{hugs}}. Weary. I hear you. I haven't gone through infertility and I suspect those hormones may add a layer of depression, (not to mention the loss), but I have gone through the other issues ... and continue to do so. I had a week last week just like you're having now. A person can only take so much. I agree with-the others ... work on yourself. Go to the gym. Go for walks. (You son is 11. You can leave him for 45 min for a walk, right?) It is so hard to detach but it's got to be done. I have/had situational depression, too, and chose medications, in addition to which, I had breast cancer and cannot take hormones, so the medications help with-that. Yrs ago I tried Zoloft for stress and headaches and ended up getting even worse headaches. Effexor works for me, most of the time. :) Others here have had awful effects from Effexor. Everyone's body is different. There are times when a difficult child can break through any medication, any sort of detachment, any sort of professional intervention. They just zoom right to the heart of things and are relentless. Still, if you want to function day-to-day and get your life back, go to a homeopath, and/or go to a primary care phys you trust, and get something. It is so important to be able to function day-to-day. If I couldn't paint or create something, my life would seem worthless. I get so sick of taking care of other people. I am not a born caregiver. It's been thrust upon me. I was thrown a curveball. I know how you feel. I'm so glad you felt safe enough to share with us. I would definitely try out something. It will take several mo's to see what works and what doesn't, but your son isn't going away any time soon, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
