Hi! Nice to meet you too.

Please let Queenie put a bandaid on your forehead or at least on the bumper of the car...she never gets to enable or help anybody these days since she is in recovery. For old times' sake giving a little TLC would do her good. ;-) Ya gotta love a queen who cares so much! (((Ann)))

Bob,
Welcome to SR and to this crazy thread. As for the extreme crankiness...well some of us still deal with that regardless of what program we follow! (and I wonder why Dee...as he reads this is smiling?) Speaking for myself. I am never cranky! I AM NOT CRANKY! Sorry for the tangent, Bob ...I'm really happy to meet you.

Anyhow, 'Bob' I'm glad you found this site and look forward to reading about your recovery and your whining too.
doing pretty ok with not drinking. dumb luck likely. I realize this forum may not
be appropriate for whining about getting off of antidepressants, but....
"WHINE!!!" the more I read about that stuff, the scarier it is. it is a
much nastier withdrawl than anything I have experienced. in fact, I
can't seem to quit. very weird.

anyway, thanks for the nice post. how are you doing today?

you are probably right. I quit prozac cold turkey once. no big deal. quit
the dreaded cocaine in my very late 30's, cold turkey, no problems.
am 51 now. I would like to keep taking the Effexor XR, but I have been
switched to the new and improved effexor which is called pristiq.

for now, I will not try to just quit the effexor or the pristiq. have a
dozen effexors left, and 10 weeks of samples of pristiq. I think, as I
said, you are right. for now, when in doubt, do nothing.

I was in a "funk" about a week ago...didn't want to get out of bed. Well, I SHOULD have gotten out of bed and paid my car insurance.

Yep, got a letter that it was cancelled on the 24th...6 days before I wrecked. Going to their office when they open and be for reinstatement. Otherwise, I have a wrecked car that I still owe money on and get to pay for the other guy's truck.

That'll teach me to get in a funk

*Whine* My computer died *Whine*

I came in this morning and it was just sitting there, so sound at all, and no power no matter what I did.

I hooked up my trusty rusty old one (Sorry Zipperman, excuse the phrase) and will be computer shopping today.

So if I disappear, you will know that I am lost in cyberspace somewhere but will be back as soon as possible.

I'm not depressed today, but still really nervous. I'm a ninny.

Plus we have a bunch of severe thunderstorms coming through today. They make me nervous as it is with everything else going on today.

(((Barb)) - I can understand about the thunderstorms. They usually don't bother me, but lately we can't get one without "high winds" or tornado.

It's going to be 90 degrees here today. I'm not ready for the summer heat!!!

BTW...car insurance has been reinstated, so wreck is covered

Well one down (party) and one to go (graduation). Party was a success, for all that my mom was a nervous wreck and I wasn't far behind her! Lots of guests, lots of money and presents for my deserving daughter! And lots of food and good company. She was the star of the show today, and enjoyed her 'fifteen minutes of fame'. She and family, me and her dad, and friends had a good time and we (me and her dad) were actually quite civil... seeing as how we had to be civil in public, don't you know! Even my mom and dad were quite civil with each other... my dad knows better than to make 'remarks' about my mom... tho my mom doesn't know better and talks dirt about him to me all the time... sigh... But all came together to help daughter celebrate her special day!

Now tomorrow she will leave her girlhood behind her and enjoy her summer before starting college in the fall. I am proud of her and tho I'll miss her terribly I know it's my job to raise good kind smart competent kids who are ready and able to grow up and leave home... sniff...sob...

So my whine is more a release of half the tension. I should really be exhausted by this time tomorrow!:bounce

It was also difficult to deal with my "successful" sister, who is so quick to point out the speck in my eye while ignoring the plank in her own, so to speak. I just remember how much I love her, even if I don't like her very much!


It was so tempting to want to just "go numb" during some stressful moments today... but I didn't give in!!
