And I hope that some women who typically have been anti-anti-depressant drugs read these comments. It makes me so angry when people send the message to those who have not yet sought medical help for depression that "the sun will come out tomorrow...chin up." It won't and you can't without help. Good for you Sara--and good luck. Amen Sisters. And I hope that some women who typically have been anti-anti-depressant drugs read these comments.

I wonder how many of us Beta's also have/have had depression. Are we really Gapmoms with a chemical imbalance? heh. Glad you are feeling better and that this works for you! I have to work REALLY hard sometimes to stay sane. I was just thinking about us “Betamoms” and if that has anything to do with depression.
