yep I just called my doctor and spoke to the nurse. She will call me back. I think it is good for us to have our space right now. I will not file for divorce right now I need tiime to sort it out.
good for you.....whatever happens....you'll be glad you didn't act so hastily....don't forget to put in your share of the effort too.
I disagree sierra - antidepressants aren't "mind altering" in the way illegal drugs are. When they work you don't feel high or confused at all. You just feel calm and able to think clearly. In fact, if you feel anything other than just "better" on an antidepressant you are not having a good reaction to it and need to try another kind.
I agree with this totally. I have been on anti depressants once, for about 6 months. I didn't feel euphopric at all - I still felt sad about things, just not as though it would never get better which was how I had been feeling before.
I did go to a therapist the whole time I took them, and continued seeing the therapist for a while after as well. I think that's key - you do need to work through the issues as well as just 'pop the pills'.
I know some people are on them long term, and don't do any of the mental 'work' (like seeing a therapist). I'm not sure that's the best idea, but I'm not a doctor, so can't really comment. I probably wouldn't have wanted to be on them long term, but I would take them again if I ever felt I needed to. Hopefully I won't!
[quote=sierraAZ;6055395]No kiddin'! It has 2 pages of side effects! I was considering it long time ago and decided I'd rather live with less than perfect skin than be a wreck. I have a general rule of not touching anything not recommended for pregnant women.
Hi I have not posted in a few days and I am sure most of you are glad about that. I feel most of you have been a help in some way or another so I figured I will keep you all updated throughout. As of right now, I spoke with my husband and we both are really going to try to work things out. The problem is ME. Last night I was absolutly positive that I wanted him to move back in and from there we would move into the place he was going to take and from there we would work on things. Well, this morning I woke up not so sure. I feel maybe it would be better to keep things the way they are and work from there. I still dont know how comfortably I would be with him back. I am going to see the theripist tonight and I will see what she thinks. I really am trying but honestly I dont see it happening. I am trying to keep a positive outlook, my heart tells me things will not work.

If you can keep an open mind and tell yourself there are any number of possibilities, it might be easier for you. If you can be open to the possibility you might be wrong about you overcoming these feelings, you will give yourself a much better chance. You know the saying, "fake it til you make it" ? Tell yourself it will work even if you don't feel it in the beginning.
Do the work, go out on dates and try but don't pressure yourself. Start off with something easy like going to a movie where the whole date doesn't revolve around conversation. Start with short time frames together...half hour for coffee. Its okay for the feelings NOT to be there all at once in the beginning. Sometimes the effort along with therapy will bring the results in time.
Its okay to feel, but don't give those feeling so much weight or power. I don't know if this makes any sense. Just don't say "never".
