Gosh, same thing here! I didnt think I had a problem either. I felt bad for blowing up at times, but I'm so much more sweet and patient now. In fact, a new co-worker told me this morning that I have a very sweet disposition. WTF?
I've been anti-meds too.. mostly because I'm not sure I understood that stress/problems, etc can make us depressed. Didnt understand the illness until my H had a major depressive episode. Then of course, I couldnt compare to the pit he was in. I don't recommend that people just go out and get meds to cope, but honestly, H, me, D12, and S6 are all taking ADs right now. H for D and OCD.. major improvement. D12 and S6 for the anxiety disorder they inherited from him. My kids don't act drugged.. very low doses, but the change in them is amazing too. They were also angry with the separation, scared, and not coping well. This isnt a long term solution for sure, but it was time to admit we needed some mental help with our family falling apart. That is a BIG deal.. yeah, divorces happen every day, but they still hurt.
