and doesn't have anything to do w/ the meds you're on. I've had so many losses in the last two years and the holidays are so hard, and then to see another year pass and feel as if I have still not accepted the losses, this is just life. Don't think can always blame the med.

Hi Corafree,
I agree. I think my emotional state is more situational than meds related. Right now I could be back on the highest dose of Effexor XR and it wouldn't change what's going on inside me due to external things.
Take care.

I agree also. Sometimes i think people who come here are looking for something that doesn't exist, thinking they should be happy all the time, wasting there lives looking for the perfect drug(s) to help them achieve this. Then what happens is they get on these huge drug cocktails of 8-10 different drugs and they have no idea of the different interactions/side effects, and then the meds DO make them sick. It's a viscious cycle that i see all the time at P.B. It's very sad. CBT is way too often overlooked or avoided because it takes too much work!

I don't know what to do now. I don't have anyone to call me and tell me they love me, except children that sorta' have to. When he was yelling about how I always make him feel bad about himself, I really really started thinking about that probability. If I am doing that, it is not the kind of person I want to be. If I'm doing that, why can't I see it? If I'm doing this, is this why I've been married 3x and had two 5-10 yr relationships? I was very much in love with my first husband. I got PMSD .. cryin' and not know why .. he said no wife of his was going to see a psychiatrist ..... I wasn't 'his perfect woman' anymore and never would be again, and emotion alteration every month, anxiety and then 'labeled' depression I maybe changed to a bad person and I can't see it. I have no friends. When ____ said I was 'odd', I don't think he meant it, but I'm not the loving person I was b4 'my mind changed'. This man does do things that are wrong and if he was w/ me he might hurt me, like my last husband. He lost his temper and screamed horrible things at me. I don't lose my temper like he, or like my 3rd ex, .. they're scary. But the thing is, what is it w/ me? Is it a 'borderline' PD? Am I forever 'tilted'? I want people to feel good when they meet me or see me or talk to me. I don't mean to be mean. This is what I'm looking at. He was awful and mean, but there may be something here 'for me' that would be better than having him. I really kinda' 'got it' when he was yellin'. I think when my 'support person' moved, I think that was the trigger for this 'stint of depression I'm still in'. I want to be a 'flower child' again. I don't like the w*r .. it 'tilts' people too. I wanna figure this out.
The meds are okay except 4 Eff-XR. I've been on it too many times ... it would take way too much of that stuff to even touch me. I felt better before I started it didn't I Phillipa?
Somethin' bad happens and I go running to the P and say 'oh no .. I'm not perfect again .. better have another AD'. I will not make that mistake again.
Afa the other meds ... good ... helpful.
I think it might be a while before I can find 'some of me' anyway and if you'll put up w/ me until I do, I'll be posting happiness.
Hey .. I do have Starbucks X-mas coffee about 10inches from my fingers, and chocolates (dark doves and those midnight milky ways)
Tks you guys .. will curl up in Dad's throw and rest a bit .. maybe call P.
