Bad couple of days...

csnyder002 · 11-15-2007, 08:59 PM

The past couple of days have been rough. A simple disappointment set me off. I have been feeling really bummed and fighting with the hubby again. I hate this. He's really pi**ing me off too. I feel like I'm going through a mid-life crisis again. (long story). This could be the beginning of another setback, where I lose my mind and can't stand to be around people, especially the hubby and long for something or someone to cheer me back up again.

OR I could wake up tomorrow and feel better. We shall see. But, I'm not too well right now.

Hi,
Sorry to hear this. I have days every once in a while were I'm just irritated at everything and just want to be left alone. But thankfully it only last a day or two at a time. Hopefully that will be all it is for you too.
I've felt like crap since this all started for me, though it's gotten better, and usually I'll get set off my being p'd off at being sick of feeling sick.

There is something to be said about season changes and mood.

Is that what it is? Yesterday I was buying gas and a guy in a big big pickup backed into the lane in front of me and he was so far in the middle, I couldn't go around him. The attendant moved a cone so I could get by. I didn't think in advance, I just reacted - when I drove around him and we made eye contact, I mouthed the word "a$$hole" at him. He came back with something much worse, ending with "you". Not to be outdone, I said something a little worse. I have never ever done anything like that before. I don't know what got in to me, but I felt pretty good on the way home. I am almost six months off prozac and have not had rage or even much anger. That's why it was such a surprise that I did that. I think I better be more careful.

You know, I've been unusually low-energy and cranky lately too, and I'll bet it's because of the time change. That always affects me. I've been furious at drivers a lot lately, too. Luckily most of them never hear me call them a-holes because the windows are up.

I also jumped all over a good friend yesterday and I feel bad about that.

The time change always gets to me, but even more so here in London, where it starts to get dark after 3:00 in the afternoon. I just want to crawl into bed and hibernate for the winter.
My husband has a cunning plan. . . we've bought tickets to a concert series, so I have to get out of the house in the evenings (sometimes three times in a week!). So far it's been nice, dinner out and a concert. So I may be totally exhausted by the time the days start to lengthen, but it's a fun diversion.

Try not to be so hard on yourself. Also, try not to argue with men in pickup trucks, they think they own the road (and they sometimes carry shotguns!)

Take care

I would definately agree with you here. I'm 38 Months off and had many season changes to deal with. I seem to get hit bad when the season changes whether it's to summer or winter. I'm having a really bad time at the moment and have barely left my house for weeks, suffering bad panic attacks again and just feeling agitated and like really really tired amongst still trying to cope with the lingering w/d symptoms i still get. I've woke up this morning after having a much better nights sleep than the night before and feel like i've spent the night in a nuclear power station, feel so strange and more tired than I did before I went to bed, could barely get myself out of bed this morning!!

Just thought i'd add my thoughts and have a little vent at the same time, hope ya don't mind folks !!

Only in Texas, ma'am!

Why are you tapering two meds at once? That makes everything 10x as hard.

csnyder002 · 11-16-2007, 11:50 AM

Thank you to EVERYONE. I got a couple of good laughs. I'm glad it's not just me! And BTW- I was not my plan to taper 2 meds at the same time. It just so happened that I learned new information and decided to alter my orgininal plans. Even my PCP agreed with me (surprisinginly enough). So, I may just have to suffer through some bad days for a while here.

FYI: I do feel better today.

I am happy to hear you are feeling better! It makes life a whole lot easier.
