Wellburtrin for 2 weeks now.... Starting to feel like myself again. PMS should be starting right about now.... I'll have to wait till nxt month for the meds. to help me throught that.

I think I told you all I've been on Well. before.

It's so nice not feeling the "end of the world" is happening everyday !!

Good to hear FTM.....Is it helping with possible flashbacks or dealing with hubby?

[fasttalkingmom]

I don't get flash backs any more now that I faced my Ex. It's Dealing with husband......

It's easier to let his behavors slid over me. Do you know what I mean ? I can change only myself.....

I'm not taking about any abusive behavors, I'm talking about his obsessions and mood changes. They can get me feeling very down and out of control. He moves on, it's nothing to him but for me it sticks with me. From stuff I've read about people who are simular to my husband it's very common for the people around them to end up with depression.

Heh,...I guess People would get depressed if constantly attacked with attempts to make someone feel down and out of control....mental abuse kinda sorta thing, Ya know what me mean?

FTM,

I am around less than totally supportive ppl (just the way it is for now) and I am working VERY hard on myself not to get into the emotional abyss, in certain situations.
Before, I just let myself get sucked into the drama which reeked havock on my confidence and moods is general.
It;s a struggle, but I am getting there - handling dramas with rational not emotional. I slip now and then but much less than I used to (affected by other;s ups and downs so drastically)
My humble opinion and experience.
