Glad you saw the doctor. Don’t underestimate the power of those SSRIs! They have kept me at least marginally functional for a decade or more. Good luck!

That’s not trite. It’s true. But a little SSRI to bring me up to ‘able to get out of bed,’ ‘able to do laundry’ and ‘able to do the dishes’ couldn’t hurt.

Saw the Dr. yesterday. She agreed.

this too shall pass…

i can imagine that this reallly sounds trite, but it honestly has become my experience around most feelings. i spent so many years having thoughts, emotions, and feelings, that were punctuated and highlighted with substances that without the “stage lighting”, i sometimes find that life is just nothing special.

but what has been revealed is that life is honestly calm and drama free much of the time, and i needed to adjust my expectatios to keep in tune.

been there. hope it breaks and the fog lifts. it’s good that you’re noticing. sometimes the blue feels so normal that we forget what normal is.

Yeah, hon, at some point probably soon you should call your doctor.
You are living on your own now, right? That has advantages and disadvantages. There isn’t anyone else there to keep an eye on you or motivate you to take care of yourself. On the other hand you have a delicious independence. I remember your post when you first moved into your new place. That was a happy time.

I was just reading Rod’s blog. (Kickin’ tina) He talked about the 4th step, I think, and about using the tools and remembering to reach out for help when you need it. Just a thought.

Hope things clear up for you soon.
