I did buy the fish pills from Costco awhile back but could not make myself take them after I smelled them!!! I wonder if there is anything else out there that works as well but does not smell??? I'm so sensitive to smells lately...
Today was the worst day in so many ways...Why the hell can't it just get better and better and not go back and forth???? (I'm sorry guys, I'm feeling sorry for myself today.) I had a great morning, went and planted native plants on the sand dunes, went on a dune hike and scavanger hunt. I felt wonderful after being outside all morning! Then I prepared a presentation/request for our school, offering to do a program for National Reading Month, they were totally unreceptive, I was not the okay, I'll take your sh*t and smile while I find another way to get it done kinda person I normally am. I actually got rude with the principal and voiced my opinion to the room (like 6 people, big whoop). Rude for me is not real rude, it's just not taking no for an answer... Anyway, my point, things went drastically downhill from there, I got home and was MAD, at the world, at the school, at stupid people, at my family, at me. And I COULD NOT controll it. Like, I was thinking "settle down, it's not a big deal" but I couldn't. I went on a rampage through the house. If you were in front of me, I found something to scream at you for. I slammed a painting on my wall sideways and knocked a sconce off the wall. I threated to leave and not come home. I tried to go to sleep (at 8pm and I'm a night owl!) That didn't work, I could still hear everyone talking and doing things throughout the house, that pissed me off. So I got dressed cussed my family out some more and took off in the truck blaring 3 doors down, smoking and wanting to go somewhere, do something, but there was nowhere to go and nothing to do. So I drove to my old job, talked to two of my "friends" and calmed down a bit. It's been three hours and I'm still really unsettled...Now I just feel like sh*t, and totally guilty. When the hell is this rage going to stop? Has anyone else had anything else like this happen? PLEASE, PLEASE share. Before taking effexor, I was NEVER, EVER like this. The most yelling I did was scolding my kids, or yelling to get their attention. The effexor was only to treat depression, and now I'm having attacks of rage??? What gives guys?
