Hi Tziporah,


I am so sorry that this is such a belated welcome to you. I've been absent from the board for nearly a month - so many things have been happening in my life that it was difficult to also come here. The good news is that life has somewhat calmed down (but I'm still crossing my fingers and my toes), which means that I'm back on iVillage.


I am so very happy to see you here, participating and sharing in our conversations! I hope that we'll get to know each other better in the coming weeks.


Welcome again!


(PS: I love the sound of your name!)

Tziporah, you're being hard on yourself when you shouldn't be. I know you're probably still hurting quite a bit from your tooth and that's enough to make anyone irritable and edgy. Don't beat yourself up about it though, you don't deserve it.

Sometimes it's good for couples to spend the day apart, it can really help to take a breather.

I'm sorry you're undergoing a root canal, does not sound like something fun. I've never had one and (knock on wood) don't want to have one either!

Hi Tziporah,

Anger is something I am very familiar with.

We are sure missing you here. I hope you're doing well and are just really busy, but I would love to "see" you here again. (((hug)))

Hi Amy and Karen and Anyone else reading this, I haven't been able to answer for quite awhile. First, my internet was out of order for over a week. I missed a lot of junk emails, and a few important ones, like yours. By the time it was restored, Passover had already started and I was on vacation. Didn't open my email box except for once, in order to reach an important deadline. Thoroughly enjoyed not looking at all the emails! Most of them are about coaching promos, social media connecting, online money schemes and the like. Just feel like erasing all of them. Have totally lost interest. Feel so overwhelmed. Wish I could just get out of this mess totally. Everybody promoting that their method is the one sure way to success. I don't know anymore how to deal withit. Fingers not in great shape either. Felt really ashamed about it--especially over the last part of Passover when we were at friends. Very embarrassed. thought my fingers were like claws. One part of one finger has soft skin---I wish the rest of them could be like that. As for therapy, I have off until a week from Thursday. still sensing that he'd like to stop. i'm not going anywhere with it. it's not going anywhere--the therapy, i mean. I talked to a friend about it. she's a physiotherapist and also had/has depression. she's doing great right now. she said she still has weekly therapy for maintenance. she told me I should try to get that at least--at least it will prevent me from deteriorating any further. still, i'm not sure. i can't seem to do anything he wants--like changing my thoughts. the depression seems to be getting worse. feeling very lonely, missing my family more, wanting to go to visit them--something i haen't wanted to do for years. my t. was surprised when i told him that. generally, just very nervous. stopped exercising again. i got to get moving. i have my psych.doc appointment a week from today. i was supposed to go off the paxxil completely for a week to clean out my system before starting on this new med. i had gone through a total withdrawal in one shot, which she told me to do, but which turned out to be disastrous. she put me back on half of what i was taking before. it made me feel a little better, but not much. well, as far as the elevator goes, they are working, but not every day. there are a lot of holidays during the present season, so almost every week there is at least one or two days off. i did enjoyu the Passover break because I didn't have to confront all of this. just did what I enjoy doing most--learning and reading all day. it's good, but i also know it's an escape. One good piece of news: the next gatitude book is coming out and I'm in it. it's on Amazon.com already, called something like: moms and motherhood. I also submitted something for their third book and we'll see how that goes. Meanwhile, I have over 600 emails to go through. most of them I'm just deleting. Tziporah

Whew! I'm glad you're here again and doing alright. I understand the stress and why you were kind of glad to not have computer access for a while.... sometimes it's just nice to not have to worry about things like that.

I'll have to look for the book on Amazon, might even get it downloaded to my Nook if it's on Barnes & Noble too. Who is the author?

Hi Karen, Re: traveling in the U.S., I'd agree--train is now probably much more pleasant than the airport hassle--even if it takes longer. I didn't know you had to undress when going through airport security. Of course, an idiot can put a bomb anywhere. Other parts of the world, the U.K. and India, for example, have had train explosions. Not intended to give anyone the idea... lol. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Illinois trip. As for me, I may be "busy", but it's not a satisfying kind of "busy." Feeling increasingly cynical, nervous, pessimistic, depressed, doubtful. I know what you mean about changing therapists. I could do that. I've done it three times already. The thought of doing it a fourth time is so overwhelming right now, I'll probably just do without it. The thought of going through that again. Forget it. At least that's what I'm feeling now. Doubt anything will help --not the meds, not therapy either. Just wish I could escape to someplace where I wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. Sometimes I think one of these convents would be like that--cut off from the world, being part of a community, not having to make any decisions, just obeying what they tell you to do. Just be involved in spiritual things all day. Now this is a very un-Jewish thought, if you know what I mean, but it's how I'm feeling. Everything, little and big, just stressing me out. I've read in books that once the meds kick in, things get better. I don't have much faith in them right now, but I'm going to the doc next week. Till then, I'm on the minimum dose of mg10 of paxil.
