> I'm just so tired, and I can't seem to think much further than the next minute. My mind just seems to be blank. It's so odd. Like I'm shutting down or something. I don't have any energy left to fight, you know?

>> SandySandy, I know that feeling - it comes right after an emotional upheaval for me. I think it is the body's way of trying to protect us while we are "coming down" from an overload. I find it best to require as little as possible of myself during those times. When is your next appt with your pdoc?
Are you able to keep your meds straight? (I mean take them as directed, on time, etc?) I know you are on some pretty heavy duty meds. I have to keep a log to make sure I take mine correctly.
I am taking Lexapro and Lorazepam. I just recently started taking the Lex in the early evening, as opposed to 1st thing in the a.m. Too soon to tell if it helped. I just hate this feeling of being "wired but tired". But at least I am no longer crying all the time.
When I first came to this board, I didn't have the courage to submit a post - it took me about a month to finally respond to someone. I was having a problem with social anxiety, too. I still feel like running by the time I get through the checkout lines sometimes, but it is getting better.
I hope you are able to find time to just breathe and kick back a little. Not easy when you have children at home, eh? The numbness is part of a healing process - it will pass, kind of like a veil being lifted, and you will see more clearly.
God bless you and your family. ...jlynne
