    Something just happened that I've feared but never thought I'd see. My brother just shoved my nephew into a 'time out chair' for asking him a question. My brother has been yelling at SIL & nephew for stupid things all day long. Niece is almost 6 months old and has been crying a lot today...

    Detoxing from anti-depressant

    life's little things

    Here’s the deal: my ‘baby’ sister is getting married in September. She lives in another state. She has expressed how excited she is to see ALL OF US.

    quandary re: meds

    I am currently on an SSRI antidepressant; have been taking it for a few years. The situation is that I had run out and couldn't afford to refill it for over a month or so. At first I was cranky, unable to sleep, feelings of real sadness crept back in big time, sick to my stomach, dizzy...

    cartoons/violence/kids

    I got some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons - the 1987 version - for my nephew. He's been watching them only in my room while I shower for about 30 min to an hour a day, not on weekends. Rest of the time, if he watches tv it's PBS, Leap Frog, or Preschool Prep phonics learning dvds. Other...

    hurt my back

    I hurt my back today lugging around the little one - doing laundry, etc... well, it felt like my back was on fire, it hurt that bad. When the mom came home I immediately handed over the kids and went to put a heating pad on my back and lie down. Then I remembered I have DMSO. I put some of that...

    small talk

    Sometimes I don't feel the need to engage in small talk...I mean I will do the basics of course, but sometimes I just don't know what to say OTHER than the basic stuff. One person asked me, "are you mad" "why are you quiet" "are you depressed" those kinds of questions...so I replied, "I'm fine...

    withdrawal symptoms/anti depressant

    I've been out of my anti-depressant for close to a month now. My RX is waiting for me at the pharmacy...I'm waiting to get paid so I can pick it up. I didn't think it was a big deal until recently when (I'm guessing) the meds finally cleared their way out of my system...IDK. At any rate, I've...

    feel like I am losing it - burn out?

    I'm going to regret posting this but I have to get this off my chest before I crumble... I am ashamed to admit what I did last night but I know you guys can relate. I took (2) 10 mg valium = yes, 20 mg. total and I still freaked out at entering my online class. Usually it is easy for me to jot...

Problem is that this class is tailored to 'get to know the real you' kind of thing. There is no textbook, but the professor posts readings online from a book called "Peeling the...
