Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been so very hard. My ex was here just the other day see the baby since he is on a tour break from the band and normally seeing him is like rubbing salt in the wound, but I was very void of emotion with him and it was not as bad as it used to be. My doctor did refer me to a counselor and I have a first appointment with her next week. Its going to be therapy and Effexor as the treatment to try to get through this. I really notice a difference since I have started with the 37.5 mg of the drug. I actually noticed it almost right away. Things that would normally set me off where my ex is concerned or things that I felt like I had no energy to do don't seem like such a big deal and I notice that I am able to concentrate better. My mind is not constantly on my situation.
I think I am on the right track and as long as I continue in this vein I think things will get better. I am so glad I found a group online that I can discuss this with and get feedback because my friends and family have been at wits end with me and its been hard on everyone around me. But, I am gaining the strength that I have needed and as long as I am able to take this drug without too much side effect I think things will start to work out for me.
Please feel free to email me anytime and I once again thank you for the sentiments you shared in your post.
Wendy
