My take on going back on when feeling WD symptoms are the same as you guys! Its not going to take effect immediately and make the symptoms go away so why bother doing it? Unless I find that I absolutely have to have a medication in order to not kill myself, there is no good reason for me to take it. My ups and downs have always been there anyway, its just part of who I am. I know this new doctor looked at me strangely when she asked "have your moods ever been stable?" and I said, no, but that's just me. Like there was something wrong with me for accepting that. People are way too quick to try and find a quick fix...myself included! I WISH I had never started taking prozac when the psychiatrist told me that research was showing most depression was caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and that they were finding that talk therapy was passe, better living through chemistry was the future of psychiatry. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was SO desperate to find out what was "wrong" with me. I never considered the possibility that I was not the problem and thus needed to find the solution.
@secretwhitepop yes, if I could turn back the clock.
I cannot change the past but I can damn sure try to warn other people of the consequences, I am living proof, I'm sure we all are, of falling for all the lies.
LOL a bit angry today, but I was pretty triggered this weekend..my husband's oldest son wanted us to "meet" his girlfriend...meeting to me would be having dinner, not an entire weekend of company. He already has one child who is 7, with a "baby momma" and lo and behold, they walk in the door and she is obviously very pregnant. And neither one of them says a word about it. I mean, what do you even say? LOL. Finally my husband just came out and asked his son "is she pregnant?" I mean, bizarre. Why would you even put someone in the position to have to ask that question? I felt like I was in the twilight zone all weekend. Just weird.
Anyway, today I am feeling good. I still have some shaking. Has anyone heard of TRE? Its a therapy based on the premise that shaking is a way to discharge energy, particularly trauma. I had heard of it years ago and tried it, but I didn't like it. I am wondering though if its our bodies response. My acupuncturist seems to think there is a lot of validity in it. I know that after sessions of therapy/bodywork/acupuncture sometimes my body shakes. So I am looking at the WD shaking as being a positive thing. Just the body releasing stuff. Sorry for rambling on. Have a great day, everyone!!
