Thanks for stopping by! The 2 times we have been to MC, have been somewhat helpful, and my W did WANT to be there. Both times, we have come out of there and she would be full of energy to work on things and make plans. The thing is that she submerges herself in work again and all the enthusiasm slowly ebbs away and then we're back to coasting along without any change. Seems like she's submerging herself in work so that she doesn't have to work on herself?
Regarding the forgetfullness: that's really nothing new, she's always been like that. The fact that she forgets stuff is really not that big a deal to me as long as other things don't ALWAYS take precedence, like they are now. I realize now that I have been way too pushy to ALWAYS make me and the boys #1 in her life. She has dreams for her business and I accept that and want her to succeed, just not at the cost of EVERY single thing we could be doing together, and that's where this was going. I think the trend is slowly reversing though.
Over the past couple of days, I did notice more and more of my old W coming back. More relaxed, more interested in having fun, etc.. I long suspected her meds to be the cause of her depressed outlook on life and our M, as well as her stressed out workaholic lifestyle. She never used to be this way, it all started about 3 yrs ago. She has been off of it for about 2.5 months and each time I see her, she's a little more relaxed and more fun. It's good to see! Not just as far as "us", but also for her own good! She's now picking up old hobbies. She asked when we're going to the Symphony, to make sure she keeps that date in mind (in light of past Fri). She's told me (unsollicited by me) that she now realizes how depressed and stressed out those meds made her, but that it's hard to realize that when it's you, etc.. Don't want to get my hopes up, but it does seem like her old personality is coming back a little bit.
We've got a new appointment for MC, next Wed. So we'll see how it goes!
