Blkvettes,
You are such an inspiration. As you may recall, I read all of your posts in one afternoon and saw, in fast forward, the difference Lexapro has made in your life.
Re: getting out and actually enjoying life again . . . our son is fifteen and I just told my husband tonight that I'm thrilled that he still likes to go places with us (on occasion). He is so funny and full of life, and truly is a joy to be around. We went to the Grove, which is adjacent to the Farmer's Market and, despite the crowds, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and didn't feel the least bit panicky.
I'm glad you were able to go out with your daughter today! It sounds like you had a great time and the trip was yet another milestone for you!
I really started to feel a difference on Wednesday, which would have been day sixteen. I made it through a long dental appointment Thursday and actually felt good on the drive to the dentist's office.
Thanks for posting back. You're right, there will be not-so-good days, but that's just the way life is, I suppose. My main concern is keeping the black cloud at bay.
Have a good weekend!
Lee
