Damned Depression
So.
For the third time in a year (ie 12 month period, not since Jan 1 of this year) I’ve maxed out the anti-depressant I’m on.
Doc gave me a choice of holding where I am, switching meds, or adding a second med to the mix.
I talked about the fact that I feel as if most of this is external (as opposed to just my brain giving me a hard time) and said I thought I’d like to hold where I am for a bit, to see if the veritable shit storms taper off.
So that’s where I am. Still in a holding pattern. You probably noticed that from the fact I’ve hardly had the gumption to write much for about the past year, but on the bright side, I am holding on, and maintaining altitude is better than crash and burn.
So now you know what’s up, and I appreciate your continued patience with me.

Holding pattern is definitely better than crashing and burning. I hope you get to soar again soon, though.

I will always have patience with my wife!

Holding patterns are indeed better than the crashes. If the stimulus are external, a holding pattern is a good idea. Once those external things resolve then you’d need to adjust again. Sending my best thoughts your way, Michelle.

I love you all.
Esp you, wife. ;)
Steve, the only problem is that the external issues will not go away and my attempts to make them better: FAIL. (What? You want to go on vacation to relax? I don’t think so!)

Let there be more chocolate and appropriately applied use of the Shovel of Doom (TM).
((hugs))

chocolate, exercise, baking, and silliness are what I prescribe. ;)
hugs to you, my dear! ((((((((((((((((HUG!))))))))))))))))
