Back from Pdoc.....

Well.......I feel better today. Doc called in phenegran for the nausea and by 8pm last night I wasn't sick to my stomach anymore. Now I still have the shocky feelings and I still feel distant from life, crying a LOT but I feel much better because the nausea has subsided a little.

He put me on abilify (sp?) 25mg/morning. Trazodone 50 to 100/mg night which helps me sleep. I have to read up on the abilify.

I go to my first tdoc appointment on the 17th. I really could use her tomorrow, since it would have been my 12th anniversary. Pdoc said something today that really hit a cord. He said that xdh wasn't only physically abusive, he was mentally as well and somehow I have let him still have that hold on me. How true? VERY! Actually x called this morning, he had a cat scan and now he's got me all worried about him. I do still love the jerk, I swore I didn't but I hate to say I do. I know he's toxic and I need to stay away from him. When I do see him I cry like I've never cried before. From this moment on I'm going to try to journal my feelings so that the tdoc can see. Is that a good idea?

Well...I'm at work, better actually do some work.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started ablify about 3-4 weeks ago, only 5mg. It is wonderful. I still feel down but am feeling better than I have in a long time. Plus - I have not had any side effects.

Hope it works for you too.
