..the hyperdreamer?
I maybe heading for -- i feel bad cause i don't support
Are you's there?
my mood shifts ..i'm getting paid for my illness..it's a full time job.
there is no future , no past and the now is trippy~pleasantly scared.
I have nothing to worry about...but i see a virus running through society that freaks my chickens.
I'm only half-way through stopping effexor..effexor--that filter.
I feel strange.
I'm gratefull for everyone here--a understanding flows throughout--but i'm a freaky-outsider-poorclown-scriptwriter.
Maybe i should sleep.
I miss you.

join me and my cat in the fetal position...
I m thick ...what's with the surreal blocking administration x-traordinaire mess with time and emotional waves..mechanical
So that's where my school-dreams are coming from. It's going to be a cold night--I recommend a niacin flush.
..where has the rebel in me gone -
self destruction fight pain with pain..i quite like the approaching death thing ~Fullstop~
mind torture...uncontrollable.

Slinky,
I'm not quite understanding what you are saying, but I am a little concerned. Are you doing OK? Do you have people around who can support you? Please call your doctor if you are not safe.
We need you here.

You mustn't say such things about my dearest Slinky!!
Slinky, you are delightful, whimsical, and thoroughly charming. You never have an unkind word to say to anyone. And you support others whenever you can, which is as much as anyone could expect from anyone.
I don't know that I qualify as an old-timer here. But I do know that I thoroughly enjoy you, and don't see you at all as a freaky outsider. Though I must confess that I often consider myself a freaky outsider, so perhaps I haven't the clearest vision for outsider-ness. But at Babble you'll always be beloved by many.
I enjoyed reading about your vacation. I just got around to catching up on posts, having had an unexpected ability to catch up a bit on my work. I'm sorry about the medication changes though. I detested coming off Effexor almost as much as I detested being on Effexor. Are you feeling a bit better now? Does your pdoc have any new suggestions for you? I know that the therapists have a long waiting list where you are, but didn't they at least approve you for one?
I'm glad to see you back, Slinky. I missed your posts.

Tell those self-critical thoughts to Be Gone! Give yourself some well-deserved love thoughts..
I'm so glad you're back from wherever the heck you'd gone.. I was starting to think you'd left us for good :-(
and now, a chorus of appreciation... Slinky! Slinky! Slinky! Slinky!

My mind doing gymnastics.
I have to come off efexor cause it doesn't work anymore--makes me sleep and sleep.
Therapy- looks like I won't be getting any.
I may need a new AD ..I have doubts about my sketchy dx my mind is racing but my body is tired.
I've been feeling a little insucure lately--
I can't grow up..
I didn't mean to exclude newbies --I just wonder what happened to others who are long gone.
The one's I could be playful with :-)to push the seriousness away.
I have to go out- it'll be trippy.

Those words resonate with me. They are the ones I say when I'm staring into the abyss, without people around me who have any idea of what it's like, knowing I can't explain it to them, knowing I can't be 'happy' like they want me to, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
I imagine we've all said those words to people, for our various reasons, and if you are anything like me, they mean something else--like, I think I'll make it through today.
I know you'll be ok, and I love slinky dresses.

sick.
Anxiety eating away my head.
Crying.
Absolute NO interest in anything...trying hard to stop obssessing about suicide ~Efexor withdrawal or prozac or both.

I'm sorry about your rough patch right now. Maybe not today, but I believe you *will* be okay.
I'll be okay. I'll be okay. That's what I say to myself, too, just like shar said she does. It may sound empty and facile to me while I'm doing it, but I do actually believe that it helps me successfully fend of hysteria when things get too black in my head. When I'm having a really bad day, I even call my husband and ask him to tell me that it will be okay.
He was quite sweet about it at one point when I was in a *lot* of (more physical, at the time) pain. He printed out "OK" over and over on a sheet of paper and then cut them all out - hundreds of tiny squares - and brought them home to me in a paper cup.
I can't send you a paper cup, but...
OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK

I'm so sorry, my dear. You're wise in realizing it's probably the medication changes. You'll feel better when that calms down. Until then hang tight and don't let those *$^% medications win. Can you call your pdoc to see if you're dropping the effexor too quickly?

I'm still on 150mg efexor so got a long way to go--I'm tapering slowly.
I'm suprised I haven't gone hypo..because of adding prozac.
Fortunately i don't have to work..so I'm getting through it..mostly sleeping--and complaining/moaning.
Thanks for all yer posts...it helps me greatly .
...I will be OK!!:-)

Slinky,
You do sound a little better. Keep on hanging in there! Nice and easy make the med changes go better, and there will be an end to the med changes, and then you can move forward. Be patient and post often!
