Re: Kabu,

Exactly! 

I took a couple of things for a few years that did that for me, anger issues along with chronic dysthymia. When I stopped taking them, it turned out I was better able to manage the anger: My brain had learned new pathways for processing the triggers that remained when the meds were no longer there to shore them up!

Re: Sea Gypsy,

You're so right! Those of us who have lived with mental and emotional impediments have had to be strong to not give up! We have to fuel both our own inner lives and the outer ones we wear to appear well and steady. It is such a relief when help is found, whether appropriate counseling, or medications that bring balance to out-of-wack brain chemistry!

constantly looking for sympathy is usually a sign of some underlying serious physical or emotional problem that may never have been addressed. i look at myself and know that the medication I take daily helps me to see the Whole picture, not just dark alleys that go nowhere. I don;t have side affects I am just set free to be the person I like to be.

Some days are harder than others. I'm sorry they exist. I'm not so sure that people with mental wellness issues are weak though. That was the thinking in the past but perhaps it's different now. Conside that maybe it's not their fault if there is a physiological reason for chemical imbalances in the brain. I don't know. May tomorrow ge cheery and bright!

Good afternoon

Venting not only feels good, but it is also healthy. It appears that you have got yourself back on track. Have a great day. Stay warm and be safe.

Beneath it all I sense a solid footing, a place to step up from,

and from all the BS and miseries that can hang around, the material to sprout something lasting and beautiful.
