She was 22 when this happened.
Resolution.... I am not sure. This is the first time I have even said anything outside of my husband and mother. My thoughts are all over the place.
In 2007 my sister decided to tell me her daughter had sex with my ex husband while we were married. I was stunned when she told me. I think I told her to shut the F up because I could not believe it.
I confronted my ex about it. I always felt he cheated on me when we were married yet I could...
All over the place. A fury of an emotional mess.

Angry. sad. Anxious. Afraid.
Put in my stomach. Nausea. Neck is super tight.
Meds are not working as they did before. I don't understand.
Had been on Paxil for two years at 40 mg a day. Doctor stopped the...
I should have clarified... My 79 yr old momma.... she is all about the healing of cannabis. She introduced me to it. She only worries because of the majority of society.
You would get a kick out of the many journals and note pads I have purchased because I go through the writers Rush and then.... Nada
A gratitude journal. Whew that is a lot of commitment. To whom? I don't know.
I have this anxiety I guess I could call it. If I am expected or counted on to do...
Here it is, December 2014.... Just weeks away from the new year.... In the back of my mind, it is another year I will not work and another year I will not be a contributor to our home. My thoughts are all over the place right now. I have looked at the journal I was writing in ( a year ago) and I...
Yes.
I am reintroducing the Paxil.
I am terrified of therapy. I have not had targeted therapy...
With each step forward, I seem to acquire a great deal of fear. I have survived the past three years in the safety of my home.
I will be visiting the other thread too.
The Beginning of the End of this Medication
Day three of taper process.
A valuable lesson learned with this most recent medication change.
Grateful I have such a supportive husband and mother.
I do hope to be medicinally managed by the end of the month. Keeping a positive outlook.

Met the new doctor yesterday.
Whoa ... Huge difference.
Dr. M. Immediately put a plan together to get me off this awful medication with the goal of minimal side effects.
I feel encouraged.
I see the new therapist tomorrow. Hoping for a good connection.
I thank you all SO much for the responses.
I am still waiting to see the new doctor. It has been 6 weeks since I began the Pristiq ... No improvements what so ever.
I will absolutely be getting back on the Paxil.
I too read a great deal about Pristiq and how it's just a different form of...
PS
I went out today for the first time in almost a month.
It was a big deal for me and my husband.
I have gone out only a few times (a few miles away from my home) since the med change.
I forced myself to go. Had one small emotional breakdown but was able to push through it.
We went two...
Thank you all so much for your feedback, insight and advice.
I really do appreciate it.
For the first time in what seems an eternity I feel heard and helped.
Thank you again
I agree about the meds.
I agree about the psychiatrist being bias to the medications vs. the patient.
I agree I should go back on the Paxil.
We do believe he received a kick back for the Pristiq which is $700 vs. Paxil which is $8.99 (generic and out of pocket)
As for talking to the doc...
Going to attempt to answer the questions and hopefully not create any confusion.
Ok.
2011 trauma began
2011 lost medical insurance
2011 obtained legal council for trauma
No medical... No resolution at this point with my case so I was all alone in my research for medication, help, therapy...
