sorry things kinda suck right now. I thought once we got off the roller coaster, we'd just be on the ferris wheel or something, but it seems more like the tilt n whirl...

And....speaking of depression. It took me about 8 mos to wean myself off of the antidepressants. I was on them for about 5 yrs (started them while still M'd to X). I've been off of them for about 9 mos now. So, how do I know if this is just a temporary setback or if I should consider taking them again. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THEM AGAIN......EVER!!!!
I hear you. And you have enough going on that this could just be a temporary thing that you need to give yourself time and space to get thru. I feel the same way about the ADs and about 6+ months ago, I weaned myself down to the level I started at 4 years ago and found myself not wanting to titrate back up... so unfortunately, this being not necessarily 'my' time of year, I've been faced with that and have been really stubborn and struggling. But I finally decided earlier in the week that maybe it was the right thing to do so I did... guess more than anything I just wanted to tell you I totally understand why you feel the way you do.
Also, I use my reactions to my kids as a barometer... if I recognize that I am short with them on a consistent basis, I titrate up... but this time, I recognized my struggles before it really affected the kids.
Enough of that. More than anything I just wanted to stop by and say hello and I'm sorry about your dad and I'm thinking of you!!

Interesting mention about your kids, Julie. That is exactly as my sister has done and why she got on some in the first place. She wasn't liking how she was reacting to her kids. She knew it wasn't right and went to the doctor.
