It has become a real problem for me as of late and I dont really know how to attack it. And mostly its a problem for me during the day when im at my office and actually have work to be doing I find myself on here, or any number of other sites just reading articles, messsage board posts, really anything written about relationships and saving them I guess. I've probably read more about relationships in the last 10 weeks than most therapists have.
You and me both! I'm in a similar situation where I'm able to coast some at work and have just been obsessed with reading everything I can including downloading ebooks and reading them at work. All I can say is if you find the answer to the way out of this let me know what it is, LOL! The one word of advise I have is if you haven't already, let your boss know what's going on in your life and hopefully he/ she will be sympathetic like mine has been.

Are you on an SSRI? If so, a week isn't enough for it to take full effect, you might see some improvement but more likely you'll feel more like you're on a rollercoaster. It can take 4 to 6 weeks. I was put on Viibryd a little over 3 weeks ago after I had a major 4-day-long anxiety attack (I've never had one in my life before BD). I felt better some days and worse on others. It's taken until now for me to feel like it's starting to stabilize. Most people report that it takes a month or more on one before you start feeling "normal" and like your old self.
