And LO! Didn't see a recent thread for you either. Saw that you're dipping your feet into the dating pool a bit? That sounds exciting and scary at the same time! I'd be so gun shy.
I've tried to reply to everyone individually. Lotus, I don't see a thread for you either, but you always have wonderful words of wisdom, thanks so much!
p.s. For those of you who were or are on an anti-anxiety med, did you get that 'script from a therapist? I'm considering that but at the moment, am not seeing anyone.
I started Prozac when this started. I've reduced my dosage, but def. going to stay on it until this is all over! In our state at least, you have to have an MD or Psychiatrist prescribe, therapists can't unless they have an MD degree. So my family GP prescribes it for me. I also saw a C for about a year in addition. Both were wise moves for me. I still have all my regular emotions, no side effects, but my depressed days are a day or less, rather than the weeks-long I was having before I started ADs.
We conversed via email. I am sorry that you are still stuck in this limbo. You are so right-you deserve better for both you and your daughter. You have my email if you need further contact. My old sandbox thread is well buried!!!!!!

Hi, I am feeling much better. Think I may avoid the anti-depressants for now. No decisions on the home front. The bad news this week is that there is no end in site. It's going to on for a few more months. Yippee.
I am still hanging in there for my daughter. She is as disgusted with her father as I am but we're still a family. Life is going to be so busy the next 1.5 yrs with college visits, then auditions (for music), etc. I want to make the best decision for her.
She came home with wonderful news this week -- news that made me realize that perhaps I need to think about things longer. She has been nominated by her band teacher for a Distinguished Scholar Award for Talent in the Arts. She has to audition in June. If she is a finalist, she is awarded a 4 year scholarship. Even if she doesn't make it, it's a heck of an accomplishment to list on a college app! I am so proud of her.
For now my first priority is her -- and doing whatever I can to make her dreams come true. H and I get along fine (that's never been our problem). We're pretty much living together, but separated. I have my GAL activities that keep me busy when my daughter is not. H never wants to do anything anyway.
that is wonderful that your daughter is up for an award and a scholarship! I hope that she wins! It's great to see some of the old gang posting again. Yoyo does still have a thread, I think it is still the Playhouse. Just not as busy as it used to be. Funny, when she had no social life, the thread was busy, now she is dating, thread is comatose!
Thanks, Lotus! Daughter performed a solo today at a local competition and did good enough to go to the state level. It was quite a piece! The judge said it was the best performance of the day (she played last).
I think we should resurrect the sandbox! Saffie?! It was good just to have some fun amidst our troubles. I found the new Playhouse home...
