I cried a whole lot yesterday. All at once. Let it out. Talked to my husband. Made myself interact with my children. My mood started to get better. Today has been really good.

Jenna - I am not on any other meds & I did not get the Effexor prescribed by a psychiatrist, but my gynecologist. I know he has the ability to change the meds as well, but I am not ready for that. As far as the bipolar, it is something that I have wondered about before. My sister has it & I do have mood swings, but quite a few of the other symptoms I do not have. I do not rapid cycle, I do not have bouts of insomnia or needing very little sleep. I am either very up or very down. There really isn't an inbetween. Which I did some investigating on borderline personality disorder yesterday online after reading another post on here about it & I actually have almost ALL of those symptoms. That as well made me feel better. Just knowing that I am not alone I guess. I am going to start seeing a counselor. My doc told me that it would be a good idea b/c the meds alone would not cure everything. I just have not gotten to it. Have been busy, have to figure out what to do with the kids & such. I am going to start seeing someone soon though. Want to tell them what I feel is going on & see what they think.

I thank you all for your encouraging words & for your concern. You are all greatly appreciated.
