I can feel myself being brighter and more able to focus. I would like to kiss the makers of cymbalta, wellbutrin, ambien, and xanax for giving me back my life. oh, and effexor, even though it didn't work out long term, it certainly saved me from myself at the time.
this is peace. this is contentment. this is where i've been trying to get to for a year. no imminent tears, no angry cloudbursts building up inside. i am so very relieved right now.
a big milestone for me was hosting the bookclub meeting this past week. i made dinner for the 10 of us, and gave them all belly dance lessons (it tied in with the book we read). they asked me to perform a little routine and i felt so self assured to be dancing for the first time in a year. the whole group told me that i MUST continue dancing. i emailed a local teacher and i'm going to join her classes. to be able to do something that i love so much, for it to give me joy again, this is the gift that medication and therapy has given me. i can show my face to others and not feel frightened of their judgement. i am who i am, messed up or straight, it's all me, not a stranger in my brain.
there is hope for us, now i know for myself.

Yeah! It's so nice to hear you sounding better. I would love to see that dance sometime. I'm glad you are going to pursue it again.
Doing a happy dance for PC here. (Think Snoopy dance style)
Take care,
gg

Just like my life, my post was lost there for a minute.
I wanted to say, congratulations.......I am happy for you. Can you take me along with you on your journey to wellness.....I seem to need a ride.

i feel the same way about cymbalta. It finally kicked in for the long haul and i feel better than in a long time. It's the way i used to feel.
I'm so happy to hear you are too!!!

Anything I say will sound lame, fake or whatever.
I just can't find the words to say how thrilled I am for you. A little envious, but thrilled!!
You've had a rough time, you hung in there, and you deserve this in spades.

In reply to MostlySunny - perhaps time for a name change? (nm), posted by saw on November 16, 2004, at 1:59:07
I'm pretty cautious. I'd like to see a trend over a couple of weeks before I announce a change in climate...
but I'll consider it!

Also - PLEASE don't be "Mixed Bag". I really detest that. They seem to be the only ones who use that phrase. Bugs the tofu oughta me.

Hmm. Right now I'm stuck at FairWithScatteredShowers.

I think I'll hang on to this moniker for a bit longer :)

Thaat's ok, no one else can either. All you have to do is nod and say 'si' or 'no.' If someone starts to question you, look tense and say, 'por favor, donde es el bano?'
