> Hi all,
>
> Today is my husband's birthday, and I'm just looking for any ideas on controlling both my depression and anxiety for the day. I've taken a Ritalin (but tempered it with gabapentin), so hopefully that will take care of the anxiety (by the way, it's most likely the last Ritalin I will ever take - Yay!!) But I'm feeling really depressed today, and to make things really difficult I'm in a washout so I can start Nardil on Tuesday. So there are really no medications I can take. I had started crying while I was with him this morning, so that's why I raced upstairs to see what was going on here on PB. But we are going out for Indian for lunch - his favorite - and I am SO afraid that I am going to break down sobbing while I am with him and in the middle of the restaurant. I want so badly for this to be a completely happy day for him b/c he is so good to me, he has really put up with a lot b/c of my illness and is still standing by me. Plus, he lets me get away with letting the house be in a state of disaster. In short, he is a wonderful husband and deserves to have one happy day without having to deal with me and my negative emotions.
