I read your posts on admin and came away feeling you are definitely not okay. I did laugh at your descriptions of shrinks (been there too), but I know you must be hurting- is there any way I can help? Take care, judy

I just wrote you the most wonderful post and accidentally hit escape.
I lowered my dose of Celexa fron 60 to 40mg to try and rediscover any sexual feeling..got anger instead. I'm gonna go take 20mg now and get back on track. I can't believe my anger, kinda scary.But I know one thing. You are a fine and caring person that makes life worthwhile. I'm very grateful to you. Over the last few days, nobody has been able to cut thru this madness. And you just did.
Thank you Judy...thank you,
Phil

Happy tears :-). You and many others have ALWAYS been wonderful to me, and it seems such a small thing to try and give back. I know how difficult it is changing meds and I'm really glad you recognized what was causing you to feel so bad and did something to make yourself better. I can never express anger, I wrote a post on that- how rage is so terrifying I think because I feel I couldn't control it. It really meant a lot to me (and I'm sure others) when you tried to help the board when Dr. Bob was gone. (I hope I didn't repeat myself here). I sincerely hope you begin to feel better soon. Take care, judy

I have been reading your posts of late. I feel badly that things aren't good right now for you.
You are in my thoughts.

Judy, I'll get better and thank 'you.' I was raised in an alcoholic family and I, up until a few years ago, always had a smile on my face. Even if I knew I was getting screwed by someone. I'd get angry later. Counseling helped me realize how angry I was and am but I'll always be an alcoholics kid. Read the characteristics of ACOA's at their site and you're reading about me.
You are a very sweet and caring person Judy and I hope your fear will subside. The thing is, most sweet and caring people have had to suffer to reach an understanding of what true caring and love is.Be happy, you are loved.

Allison, Good to hear from you. I shouldn't have dropped my Celexa dose but had no idea anger was lurking underneath. After 20 years on meds I have no idea what baseline is! But I'm a survivor and that's all I am. I just go from one day to the next hoping; I think psychologists call it magical thinking.
I would also feel better if it wasn't a frying pan in Texas right now. You could put a pot in the street, fill it with water and steam some vegetables. Problem is, the pot would melt into the asphalt and gradually sink to hell. : )
It's nice to hear from you. At the rate the boards admin is going, I'm actually thinking about getting outta here myself.Peace and Love,
Phil

Phil, don't go. We need you here. I need you here. When I was having run-ins on Admin over the 2000 board (and actually got blocked for a week), I took a break from even reading Admin. I glance now and then to see what's going on, but I won't get involved like I was before. It isn't worth the stress and loss of peace.
I'm an ACOA too. My pdoc has been showing me lately how I am putting too much of myself into things... caring too much... because I don't want to treat people the way I was treated. But then I never get out of what I put into something and that leads to disappointment, depression, withdrawl from the world.
Maybe take a little break and breathe? Then come back.
Love ya,
AllisonPS: It's hot as hell here in upstate NY, but we don't melt pans on asphalt like you Texans. We steam everyone to death by keeping the humidity real high. Even my roommate, who is from Kenya, is complaining. And sweating.
