Hi Ladies :) I just wanted to post an update. I've been going to acupuncture now for 5 weeks, twice a week, covered by insurance!!! I trully feel it is helping greatly!!!! I look forward to my appts and I have to say, for themost part, I feel great. I had a couple of days last week (sunday and monday), but other than that.. im looking at week 5 of calmness. :) Im taking my one capsule of effexor, deep breathing and reminding myself to give it to God. I cant thank you all enough for being there when I need it. I suffer from panic disorder and tend to get the derealization and depersonalization as side effects.. and thats when I feel like Im going to the padded cell. but you have all given me great support/advice when I need it and it helps so much. Today is a great day for me and I wish you all to have these days too! Its not even that everything is happy happy, as you know.. lots of change recently and some drama.. but I feel like I can handle it and am just thinking positive thoughts to push out the bad. if you havent ever tried acupuncture, I highly recomend it. it helps with depression and anxiety. its so peaceful and relaxing. :)
