Need some help |
I'm in the process of getting a divorce and I'm going to get laid off in the
near future.
At times my wife acts as though she wants to work it out but then at other
times she as mean and hateful to me as she can possibly be.
I have another job but its in another state but I feel that when I leave it
will mean there wont be any chance at reconciliation. Needless to say
calling a moving company and getting my things all packed up is going to be
more than I'll be able to handle.
I feel as though I really need an antidepressant, problem is I've tried
antidepressants before and they either made me sleepy, gain 20 pounds or
turned me into a zombie.
I know different AD's work differently on everybody but can anyone give me
some advice on what might work better than another?
Words cant describe how lonely and hurt I feel right now. Is there anyone
out there that can offer some meaningful advice?
If your going to slam me or say something that isn't positive or helpful
please don't. That's the last thing I need at this stage of my life.
Thank you
Will

letting go is never easy and it sounds like you might just have to ,
staying there and being treated the way you describe can't be helping either
of you ,much , so , maybe some time apart is best ?
as for medications , like you say different ones work different ways ,
I guess the best you can hope for is a doctor who understands this ,
and will allow you to change meds every 3 months or so ,
until you find one that works , sorry to read you're going through this ,
it's a painful thing the first few times but it gets better ,
I know because I've done it so many times that now ,
I just think its part of the relationship process and ,
I move on as quickly and as best as I can and just let it go

I have some sense of the anxiety caused by your situation..
From my own experience, I try to do what needs to be done, and emotionally
detach myself from what's actually going on...
Once it's done, I'll revisit the issue emotionally, but at least by then
what's done is done...
All I can say Will is... This too shall Pass.

MiddleEarth..

no...Wellbutrin hasn't caused me any serious side effects, Zoloft
is immediate deep chemically-induced despair, Serzone is like
a bad nervous acid trip, Remeron? not horrific, but not nice...
Strattera started-out looking like a good thing untill I went up
to 25mg., and it screwed me up enough for me to quit it...
I'm still dealing with withdrawal I attribute to it...

I went thru something akin to that without drugs. it took a year+
to really be able to function, and at that, I considered it wretched
as my x-sis-in-law said "go with the flow"
I modify it with "but not over the edge"
avoid all alcohol, and if possible, smoke some pot. I had plenty
but I didn't touch it for months, since I don't do it when I'm down
smoking pot didn't help. manipulative so-called friends aren't my
friends anymore, since they seemed to revel in my wild-eyed misery
If your going to slam me or say something that isn't positive or helpful
please don't. That's the last thing I need at this stage of my life.
it isn't my nature. but I slam and sink fangs in those who do that
Thank you
Will
take care. and don't stop thinking that in a year things will likey
be better. my yardstick is 1000 days; I have a different time-sense
