Shannon, I've definately been in this place! I couldn't shake it at all. Like you said, I really wouldn't think about suicide, but I DID think heaven would be better as well! I didn't want to at the time, but I did agree to try antidepressants. It took a while to get the right one for me, but I'm now taking Cymbalta. We call them my happy pills at home. My teenagers often ask me if I've been remembering to take them. (They're not miracle drugs!) After three years or more of taking anti-depressants, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend happy pills to all my friends!
