  I'm so glad you re taking this step Kruu. Great that you found someone who will see you that quickly. Hang in there. It's gonna get better.

• kruuyai said on Jun 05, 2008....

  botoni:  Thanks.  I hope so.  As low as it was last week, it almost couldn't get worse, so up is the only direction to go.. how's that for positive thinking?  :)

• pickersplock said on Jun 05, 2008....

  Hooray!  I wish you all my best, Kru!

• secretlife said on Jun 05, 2008....

  Good for you Kru, for recognizing the depression and doing something about it immediately. I'll bet you'll respond very well to medication. 

• mobil said on Jun 05, 2008....

  Good luck to you Kru, depression is a bitch. I'm sure in just a little time you'll be able to slap that bitch around..............all my best.

• Mamie said on Jun 05, 2008....

  well good for you! The first doctor must have been a quack and so the universe saved you the time and trouble. I hope it helps and I wish you all the best. Mamie

  I hate it when they make you wait, and of course what in the world do you do in the mean time? I'm glad you get to go soon though and I hope they can help you out.  I find writing down problems while they're happening or soon after helps for when you do get to talk to a shrink.  I'm sure you can make it through this.

• MissMimi said on Jun 05, 2008....

  That is excellent news, kruubaby!  The first step is always the biggest.  Hang in there, and don't give up.  (((((hug))))))))))))))))))  Thought you might like a lop-sided hug.

• kruuyai said on Jun 05, 2008....

  pickers:  Thanks, my appointment's in an hour and a half.  I'll let you know how it goes
  
  secret:  I hope so, too.
  
  Twyla:  Immediately?  Ha!  It took me about 48 years!  Well, actually, I took Prozac about 12 years ago for about 6 months.  It worked just fine, but I couldn't sleep at night because of the dry mouth and throat.  Up until now, I felt that I'd rather live with the depression than suffer through all that, but now...
  
  mobil:  Hon, you have such a way with words.  (great analogy, though)
  
  Mamie:  Or else, he was really good, and that's why he was so booked up, but either way, waiting was not an option.
  
  ninja:  Hi girl!  Nice to see you on a non-pirate post!  :)  Thanks for the tip.  I imagine he'll have me keep a diary of some sort.  I prefer writing my dreams, but oh well... maybe I should just direct him to this blog?
  
  Mimi:  Oh, that felt good.  Now, can you give me one that's lopsided on the other side to balance out my back?  Thanks! :)

  No problem!

• Never_Mind_The_Quality said on Jun 06, 2008....

  
  Oh Kruu, I hope you'll feel better when you come back!
  
  No, not better,....... GREAT!
  
  Remember we will walk the Alster in Hamburg with Paper.
  If not, we will tour Amsterdam the three or the six! of us.
  Jo, me, the kids and you Kuu!
  
  I have the day off today so will check up on you.

  i'll be thinking good thoughts of you.  will you do the same for me.  my appt. is tomorrow too, at 8:30 AM

• pusscat said on Jun 06, 2008....

  You already know I'm with you girl but GOOD LUCK kru :-)

  cry - I'm with you with your appointment too :-)

  Here's one of my special hugs for you both

• gingersoul said on Jun 06, 2008....

  Kruu.....good luck. Just don't make him change your lopsided hugs, ok? 

• Never_Mind_The_Quality said on Jun 06, 2008....

  
  Kruuuu,
  
  Just found out about Polar's secret!
  
  Now you have to come to Hamburg or Amsterdam!
  Or both!
  See  Tulips and eat Hamburger! haha.
  
  Be strong!!
  
  ;-))
  

• Twylarants said on Jun 06, 2008....

  Kru~ Did you try changing the time you took the Prozac? I took it for 11 years, and changed from morning to night, then back to morning every few years. Some people can take it any time of the day, others can't.

• kruuyai said on Jun 06, 2008....

  Mimi:  Thanks, I needed that!  :)
  
  NMTQ:  I wish I could... I really have to check up on this damned Schengen stuff.  It just doesn't make sense that I should be penalized for working here by not being able to travel in the rest of the Schengen countries.  What is Polar's secret?
  
  cry:  Good luck on yours, too.  :)
  
  pusscat:  Duh.. which way did it go????
  
  ginger:  That will never happen... I promise.  :)
  
  Twyla:  No, I never did try that.  I got Zoloft this time.  He said the side effects are not as strong.  We'll see.
  

• pusscat said on Jun 06, 2008....

  Ha ha I've no idea what happened there - must have been highlighted when I pressed return?!?!  Double do-o-oooh!!

  My apologies, dearest Kruu
  
  for not being "visible" and giving moral support; I have been reading and following and praying for you though, that all will be well.
  
  I am sadly in the same place. 
  
  I should write this on an email but if I changed windows, I would end up not writing anything again.
  
  As you might gleaned from my somewhat vague posts and poems, I am in a long process of separation and a very distant divorce, and the depression is not helping at all.  I need to do lots of stuff but I need to be better first...a vicious cyle. sigh*
  
  I am encouraged to see my psychiatrist from reading your experiences (plus seeing Kyle so happy gives me the extra push).
  
  I wish we could see each other.  Piet and I are talking about the Schengen at this very moment in Skype, I told him to read your reply to us in another post regarding this.  Gah, this is the same problem I have why I can´t move with him, even if I am not divorce yet  (I have not applied for German citizenship therefore also not directly EU, grrr).
  
  ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))))
  
  I wish you all the strength, dear friend.

  P.S.
  
  RE: Polar´s secret . . .
  Polly, skald and quiet will all be meeting in Iceland.
