Hi Res, if you want to fix it here is a list of chores for you.
1) undo the heart attack her hubby had
2) go help clean up all the house that both of them are struggling to do for medical reasons
3) decorate the whole house for Christmas, tree, etc
4) do all the maintenance around the house
5) go over and cook them a full Christmas dinner so they can both put their feet up and
enjoy each other's company
So when are you going over?
Teaching someone to fish, is worth nawt if they can't physically do it, or if they
happen to live in a desert!

P.S I am sorry if post is looking goofy lol can't see that good today. On a positive note school work is done and I have a break now. Also my Doctor for some reason has done a 360 she actually listens to me which feels real good. Have another nuero doc who I am supposed to go see who specializes in MS I just need answers hopefully I can get some definite answers and not a bunch of I don't knows or I dont see it or it is your depressions excuses. I have had two mris show white matter changes in my brain so this is a bit concerning to me anyways...

Hi Lynn, just wanted to add that when a person is stressed for a prolonged period
of time it affects the chemistry and hormones of the body, which in turns
starts to affect brain chemistry.
Its these changes which have a knock on effect and cause the very real symptoms of
depression.
Medication is based on correcting those very real (not imaginary) biological changes.
Over time they can correct themselves but it takes sheer hard positive determination
to do it and the corrections take time. I have a relative who goes to a gym 3 times a week. Lol
When i get really stressed for example the raised adrenaline and cortisol (I think
that's what it is) messes up my cycle really bad. Anything which is capable of doing
this also has an impact on the other functions of the body, including how the brain functions.
Prolonged stress has a genuine biological effect. People use to think depression was imaginary
but it is a real imbalance of functions in the body.
If someone has a broken leg, they need time to heal. Its the same with stress and depression,
unfortunately many still think it just needs a quick fix and teaching someone to fish!

Post menopausal enough that I could grow a mustache and beard any 15 year old boy would be proud of. lol Isn't that as balanced as one gets after menopause?

The difference between your depression and mine is you're supposed to be depressed. You're life right now, (until you get out and on your own), is bad enough to be depressed about. It's a reasonable responses to a bad situation. I'd be more worried about you, if you weren't. That would be "unreasonable."
As for PDA's, I did read the list, and, for one reason or another, I know I don't have any of those things with the possible exception of MS, but I doubt I have MS, because that usually hits middle-aged people, and I past that already.
Whew! Good thing. That isn't one of those things I'd want to have. But thanks for thinking of it. Honestly, I never really worried about such things until I was with my dad at his doctor's appointment, and the guy told him he either had ministrokes or dementia. (He has the worst of those two things, so we've all become a bit concerned with our gene pool.)
Thanks for thinking of another possible answer, and don't you dare have PDA either, young lady! (Yeah. I said it. 43 is still young. lol)

Yay! on doctors listening. Rare anymore, isn't it?
Boo on the possibility of MS, BUT don't fret too much. A friend of mine had plaque on her brain when she was in her early 40's and worried about it becoming MS too. She's now 60, never has had MS, and I don't dare ask her if she still worries about it, in case she forgot about it. Try to remember to only cross a bridge IF you get to it. (I tend to worry ahead of time, and then regret all that wasted time worrying.)
