Hey Kath, Glad to hear that the meds are working. Step in the right direction huh? I'm sorry your son is sick but you are right about it being better than getting high. Feelings diaries can be a tricky business. You can end up re-reading the things you write down and critiquing yourself. My only advice there is be honest with yourself. Don't write what you think your pdoc wants to hear, dig deep and really be honest. It can cause you pain, relieve stress and map out patterns but I think it can be a very helpful tool for your recovery. Good luck with it and keep in touch ok. Don't know what we can do about Kathy. I've sent her some e-mails and had no answer, it worries me a lot. Take care and I hope your son feels better soon. Thanks for keeping me up to date.--hugs, Tina
Hi Tina - I'm assuming you're Tinal? I hope you're feeling better. I'm upping my Celexa to 20 mg from 15. Three days at 15 & no side effects. I'm pleased! Today my 16-yr-old has the flu & is "sick-in-bed", vomitting, etc. It's funny; I'd rather empty buckets than see his main activity & interest in life be getting stoned!

> I'm feeling way more positive; saw my psych (is that what pdoc means?) today & I think I'm going to be able to do some really good work with him. He wants me to keep a "feelings diary" - enter any major feelings three times a day. My big deal is being able to feel anger (or NOT being able to feel anger). I usually feel it for a second, find it's way too scarey & talk myself out of feeling it. My "committee" puts forth all kinds of reasons why the other person might have done; said what they did, etc. etc. & meanwhile my anger goes somewhere else - seems invalid.

Not feeling particularly anxious or panicky but I can't slow down this heart rate. What is causing it, I don't know but it's damn uncomfortable. Thanks for listening Love y'all---Tina
> > How goes your day Noa, Judith, Kathie, kath et al....? Still nothing from Kathy I see, getting seriously worried now.
