sorry I have been trying to get away for a few days.
you know the drill with SSRIs - give them 4 weeks. give yourself 4 weeks. 4 weeks is eternity when you are in the pits of emotional despair. but kara lynne, you haven't had enough time to give yourself a fair shot.
can you do other things to help with the side effects? schedule a massage for the muscle aches and pains? see if that helps for the headaches?
before you go to therapy with your ex, kara lynne, ask yourself:
1. "what would going to therapy accomplish?"
2. "what do i hope to achieve?"
3. "what is a realistic outcome of this situation?"i sense a disconnection between the probable answers to questions 2 and 3. i hope you think long and hard before going to therapy with him. the longer you are with him and dealing with him, the harder it is for you to heal.
closure and sadness sucks, but being stuck in relationship limbo is an emotional purgatory that will eat your brain and self-esteem.

i'm sorry you feel so bad and hope desperately that you will get some relief from your pain soon.
