Turning a corner, thank goodness

preissless1 · February 2012

This week I've been feeling remarkably better - the physical withdrawl symptoms aren't as strong, and I feel like my mood pendulum is slowing down. I want to thank you all so much for your supportive words and suggestions. Going through a medication switch is tough both physically, mentally and emotionally. And every little thing seems magnified by 1000. And unfortunately, taking 2 weeks off from life & being a mom to re-calibrate is not something I can do.

I know I still have a few weeks for this new medication to totally take effect, so I'm still more emotional than what I'm used to, but at least I'm not wallowing in the deep self-depreciation and despair place I was in for the past 2 weeks.

It's a good thing I'm coming out of the weeds, because C is getting 3 molars all at once, so he's needed a lot of attention and help getting to sleep the past two nights. I'm glad those teeth waited until I was in a better place to come in.

And I just recieved "Babyproofing Your Marriage" in the mail yesterday, and just a few pages in to it, I keep thinking "YES, I feel that way! That is me/us!" so Thank You for that recommendation. And DH has agreed to read it too.

Glad you are doing better! And that is exactly how I felt when reading the book and DH said he felt the same. It is really helpful to know that so many people go through the exact same thing (so much so that they wrote a book about it) and to know that DH and I weren't just awful and doomed.
