My husband expected that I would be All Better today. I had to break it to him that it would probably take a couple of days (??!!) before he could hope to see any real improvement in my mood. I sure do miss my T. I was very glad to pop my Prozac capsule this morning, but have noted that my body is aching horribly, probably from clenching different parts of myself in states of anxiety.
I will plan a soaking bath sometime for today.
I managed to finish my grocery shopping that I couldn't quite accomplish yesterday (at one point I was going to just leave the full cart in the aisle and run away, but instead paid for what I'd managed to put in there and limped home with what I had). Man, that was one Bad *ss day.
Still can't stand noises like the TV or the gardening guys outside - it all sets my teeth on edge. Music a no-go likewise, am considering popping in a set of earplugs but can just imagine the look of dismay on my husband's face as I attempt to block him even further out of my mind. Can't really win on that one. He wants me so desperately to be feeling better, and I am feeling like I am failing him so utterly there.But he made me a cup of decaf tea (((((PartlyCloudy husband))))). I don't feel that I can share my dark thoughts with him any longer - they don't feel safe with him :-(
Thank goodness for the boards.

Pc sounds like you did great yesterday. Feeling that way you went grocery shopping? I could never do that feeling that depressed the happy face? Oh I do know how you feel something similar tomorrow. Difference between you and me I'm afraid of meds and you have great faith in them and that is the diffence between them working or not. See hubby cares. Love Phillipa

I'm not sure I have faith in meds but think that they are the only way out for me in conjunction with therapy and alternative stuff like yoga and chiropractractic. We each have to find our own path back to wellness as best we can. Not feeling so great right now but mornings are the best time of the day (and I get up pretty early these days, before 7am) so I am trying to get done as much as I can before I crap out.
thanks

PC boy we're opposites as now I start to wake-up. Don't know if meds are the answer to anyone. Not trying to be negative. If permission I could write my thoughts to you privately since can. I've always wanted to be able to get up early and as hard as I've tried even working days didn't begin to wake-up till llam and had gottn up at 5:30am. Just in a daze. Love Phillipa.

Don't know what you could possibly say to me privately that you can't say on the boards. So no babblemail, thank you.

(((((partlycloudy))))) I'm so glad you checked in here today. You've been on my mind so much lately. Hopefully you can feel just a little of the babblelove that's being sent in your direction.
The fact that you even attempted the store yesterday is completely amazing to me. My hope is that you will see that effort as an accomplishment and give yourself a pat on the back, even if just a little one.
I'm so sorry you can't share your dark thoughts with your husband. It's so hard when you can't let them out without people freaking on you. My thought is that if they're allowed out, and then accepted, they tend to fade. It's just a theory at this point, though, because I've not yet found that sort of accepting person. But, we're here, and I think many of us could be that place for you if you need it.
Big hugs to you, my friend, and a fresh-out-of-the-oven brownie if you want it.
Jammer

Again, don't see why that can't go on the boards - just not this one, being Psychology. Hope you're understanding of that.
