I Never Imagined Being Here

Although xanax is a short term treatment for depression/anxiety, maybe you should inquire about a more true anti-depresant like Lexipro or the like (prozac type). It takes a little while to kick in, but afterwards you can really deal with a bunch of stuff. Although it is a bitch to get off of, when things do settle down, it can really help with the right now.

Also, just be friends with this girl and I say this girl to make you think that she is just a girl, one of millions. You would not talk about an R with a friend or someone that you are just beginning to date. Try this mindset.

Thanks for the advice. I meet with the dr. in just over an hour and hope to come up with something. I feel bad because I hate taking meds of any kind, but I feel I really need it right now. I think a true anti-depressant may be a better option vs. xanax.

My W just called and said that she wanted to go out tomorrow night. She wasn't sure of what to do, but we can find something. She started it by saying "Lets go out tomorrow night because I know you wanted to get together". I told her that I didn't mind either way and that we can go out only if it is what she wants. She said that she want to go out, so I said ok and left it there. She said that she will call me back to finalize the plans.

I am feeling stronger today, but I have some concern about seeing her tomorrow night. I seem to have a long recovery time after our encounters. My goal is to keep the activity tomorrow night as purely friends with no R talk. Focus on friendship, not relationship!
