Struggling and need help #2

[CharlieBrown]

Last night was interesting. Went and got the prescription filled for Celexa and on our walk with the dog she talked about all the feedback she has heard from people that used a low-dose to "get over the hump" for a few months. I listened and at the end, I asked if she wanted my opinion (instead of just giving it). She said sure and I told her (basically, that I thought it was worth a try).

At dinner things were going ok, then she mentioned a Coach purse she saw. I said Mother's Day is coming up, then tried to joke that I was relieved because gifts aren't one of her 5 LLs. She looked at me and said that she was really annoyed by that comment. I asked why and she said she didn't know, she just was. I dropped it but later, asked her to help me understand what I said wrong. She said that the fact that I am talking about 5LL's and acting like I am some expert just bugged her. She couldn't really articulate it, but I think it is more that therapy is supposed to be therapy, and I am talking about it too much. Point heard and understood! No R talk tonight!

Also, no wine last night. She consumed a lot Friday and Saturday visiting friends and going out. She needs to "dry out" so I need to forget about it for tonight as well.

She didn't tell me if she decided to take the Celexa or not and I am not going to ask. She knows my thoughts.
