I'm a fifty eight year old man and I don't have time for this crap. I'm sick of pretending to be brave and tough and fixing everyones stuff but avoiding mine. Give me a damn pill and fix me...that's me as I walked up the stairs of my first meeting with a 'counselor'. That was last november.My job was intense and tood more time than my life.I quit..big shock to all even me...took about six months to actually pull it off but I did ..my counselor has helped me through the divorce (sixteenyears I worked there) and I have found out thatI'm not broken,just well trained. My training uses old information and old measuring devices(my terms) that may not be the best for me and my environment today.Yesterday was my first visit with a shrink...Psychiatrist, excuse me, and he is now using effexor x r to treat anxiety disorder and depression in me. Boy I sure read some scary things about this drug..side effects and hard to let go of...and man do some people take it for a looong time. So much for my quick fix.
