Okay, dearest Racer,
I'm asking.... why hasn't your mom spoken to her brother in 20 years??? :)
Navigating relationships is flat-out exhausting. For me, there's the positive energy of building/strengthening our marriage (when I don't want to hit him with a fluff bat!) which returns the same, and then. . . . slowly, she turns,... there's the negative energy of dealing with the other family issues which is draining. It started in December and will go on for a few more months, - best estimate.
I mentioned I went back on Zoloft as a prophylactic. The side effects are far more noticeable to me -- electrical brain storms, drying out, eyeballs in sand, sensitivity to bright light. My method of handling them --- why, poaching on the couch with an ice pack, of course. It's day five and they're beginning to subside but it's stressed my WH. I suspect it's reminescent of TMD (The Major Depression). However, despite the side effects, I'm noticing my brain is not obsessing (which was one of the driving forces to resuming Zoloft). So, I'm balancing expressing the positive aspects of the Zoloft w/hiding out waiting for the se's to subside.
ugh
