Thank you so much Ginnie. those are all good suggestions. i will try to apply some. i like the shelf thing and not giving it attention all the time. the concept is similar to what my own therapist described for managing obsessions, but your friend expressed a much more concrete way of doing it, which is so very helpful. i am not obsessing right now but i sure will remember that, because i can really go there. i can get angry too and the past couple of days of mood dive i do get easily bothered by silly things, but i mostly let them go because of how listless i am starting to feel. thank goodness the energy is gone with the mood, or it would have been a subclinical mixed state - no fun.(especially for my cohabitants



)!
i am basically just babying myself and telling myself it is the taper whether or not that is true. i thought i missed a dose but turns out i didn't. i still need to post that thread to explain why this is complicated but i don't know if i will do tonight. my head is twinging too.
i am sorry your odctors didn't call me back. you know what. mine didn't either today. that does suck stinking rotten eggyolk doesn't it???!!!



and on that note

... (or not so much)
i wish you a peaceful evening Ginnie. thanks again for sharing. sending hugs and good thoughts. i hope your docs call tomorrow. sheez, i hope mine does too but my decision will be made by 7am when i take my meds so... whatever.
