I'm in a strange place?

I'm not sure what it is, but my mood is for lack of a better term weird. I'm not sad, angry, happy, flat........nothing. It almost feels like I'm stoned. kind of here but not here at the same time.


I wouldn't swear to it, but i think my tdoc picked up on it cause she kept giving me strange looks when I'd answer a question. she didn't say anything but kept asking me how i was feeling. that alone was strange.


dont get me wrong, this is kind of a cool place to be, especially given my moods in recent weeks. i'm just trying to figure out what it is. has anyone else ever been in this kind of mood? is it med related? and does it last? like i said, i'm not knocking it, just trying to understand it.


thanks

Traci,


Since you just started on all the new meds, I'm betting it's med related.

Thanks Marci,


I meet with the tdoc again on Thursday. hopefully by then i'll be a little less zoned but more 'normal'. i felt like i was in the hot seat or something everytime she stared at me. I was really trying to stay 'present' when i was in there but I just kind of kept going into the zone. so now she probably thinks I'm a total fruitcake, if she didn't already.


at any rate, thanks for your input. hopefully you're right and its just the meds and that'll work itself out. even though i kinda like it where i'm at, i know its not a good way to be as a parent of three kids.


hugs

I agree on the zoning out thing. when my pdoc changed my meds., i was definately feeling quite groovy! DH was looking at me like " i don't know if i like this! but this is pretty cool' i guess he was used to me flying or crying or ranting around the house. when i went to my PD office, even doc noticed i was calmer. He looked at me and said " are you OK?" and i looked at him and just said "smooooooooth" rotflmao!

i sometimes wish i could go back there! it didn't last very long :[

***i sometimes wish i could go back there! it didn't last very long :[***


that's what i'm afraid of. i don't want this to end. i haven't felt like this since i had good reason to feel stoned. rofl! and that's been a good 20 years ago or better.


i can also relate to your comment to your pd. when tdoc asked me (over and over) how i was feeling, i just told her very mellow. she didn't seem to like that response too well. but hey, at least i was honest with her. lol!


thanks for your input though. i appreciate it.


hugs,
