Thanks very much for your kind words. I have had those thoughts about people in the past as well, and hopefully that will go away. I used to be so much nicer than the person I've turned into.....always anxious, very tempermental, etc. The biggest problem I have is thoughts of my wife dying. I can never really tell whether it is me that is hurting her, or if I just find her dead. Needless to say it is very disturbing and made me have suicidal thoughts just thinking about hurting her. I would rather die than ever hurt my wife, and that is the biggest problem I have. I have never been violent or had violent thoughts in the past, so this is all very new to me. I hope I have as much luck on Lexapro as you have had.
> Hi bluesfan. Let me tell you a bit more. My dark thoughts were hateful ones toward others....In the car, at work, at family functions, I was constantly thinking: "Oh my God, you are so stupid, ugly, loathsome".... (you fill in the negative adjective, and chances are that I was thinking that at some time or another). These thoughts I was having were at times about people I once cherished and had warm feelings towards (and now do again). So to answer you question, no, I didn't have thoughts about death, although I have read posts on this forum from those who have, but my negative thoughts did in time go away. Where once I was cussing in my head about how slow or stupid someone was being, I now feel very generous and patient with him or her. I feel like I have a new personality....but it's not new, it's how I used to be years ago. I had forgotten that me until that me came back thanks to Lex. (I take Wellbutrin too, but my dark feelings had gone away before I began taking it, so I do attribute the positive outlook to Lex). Hope this helps, and the best of luck to you. Please keep me posted because although I don't know you, I do care about you. Regards,Bali
