Meds for anxiety and depression for you. They won't make the situation better per se but they might make it easier to cope and they can have a numbing effect which can help you get through the days.[/quote]

I strongly disagree that meds for depression have a numbing effect, ir at least of they do, they are the wrong ones for you. I have been on several anti-depressants and have felt the opposite of numbed.  When my depression is treated I am more focused, have more energy and can actually think through and solve problems.  This is the part of depression that people don't understand if they haven't been through it -- it has cognitive effects, it makes it much, much more difficult to process and solve problems.  Everything seems hopeless, impossible to overcome.  The right anti-depressants don't numb you, they eliminate the sadness AND the inability to think things through.

Which is why I think the PP who lashed out at OP was way out of line.  Maybe she's never hit that wall, in which case she should just keep her mouth shut because she isn't helping.  OP doesn't need shaming, my guess is that she already feels pretty terrible about herself.  What she needs is support and to get the right help.  I posted earlier that if she doesn't take those steps, she isn't worthy of our sympathy.  But unless she goes into that kind of denial, my heart feels for her and her daughter.

Please get help.[/quote]
