hi Kara Lynne!
> Hi jimi,
> It's good to hear from you.
>and very good to hear from you too!!!
> I'm not doing so great at the moment, my cat was up sick all night so both of us are tired. I'm trying to assess if I have to consider it an emergency or I can wait until tomorrow to go to the vet. She's not getting any worse, so that's good.
>poor poor kitty! ... what's kitty's name?
... poor kitty's momma ! ... ... staying up all night and worrying herself sick about poor kitty ... ...
... ... i used to have cat(s) ... ... most famously, one was named "dharma kaya" ... ... we studied buddhism together when i was young ... ... we were telepathic ... ... i miss her ....
... cats are so sad when they're sick ...> I'm not sure where all that came about who is making my decisions --it's kind of making me feel bad.
>Oooo ... don't feel bad! .... .... you are being so good! ... ... you've determined your way and me and fallsfall are helping some ... ... maybe we just needed a little reasurance we could cheer real loud ... ... and not , you know, over do it ... ...
... ... i can cheer anyway, because i know you will just tell me when to stop ... ... of course!>I did say that I appreciated the directive (not to call, eg), because most people feel the need to qualify their suggestions with that it is only their opinion, etc. etc.
>... and i can be the biggest "qualifier" when i am not completely confident ... which is most of the time ...
>
I grew up with an emotionally absent vapor of a mother so I appreciate clear advice sometimes. Of course I'm a big girl and I can decide whether or not I want to take it.
>
> I'm also having a delightful round of obsessive compulsive disorder. I get songs stuck in my head and they beat me to death. Ok, here's your joke-- I call them O.C.D's. But truly it can get a little hellish. I'm wondering if it's since I started the Lexapro, which wouldn't make sense, but you never know. I'm not going to give up on it yet though, because other than that I am tolerating it better than anything else I've tried recently.
>where was i when you started lexapro?
how much are you taking?
when did this start?
yes, it could be the lex starting obsessiveness as an initial SE ... no fun, for kara!! ... Boooo! ... poor poor kara ... when an "OCD" (i didn't get my joke) hits you is hard, even if it's a song you like ... ... can this happening make you not be able to like a song?i'm sending you good vibes!
> I'm glad your allergies are better--mine have been acting up too. I get allergy shots, which ended up helping--after 3 years! But you know what...it was worth it. I was born with a (I was born...in a crossfire hurricane...see, here I go!) Ok, I'll try again: I was born with a Kleenex in my hand, nose running and eyes watering.

> Be well jimi.i'm taking something called "Nasacort" nasal inhaler for my allergies ... ... prescription stuff ... which reminds me i need to check for interactions with my lexapro!
Oh, that's the 'stolen rhones'' jumping jack flash!!! ... ... that wa's going to haunt me ... ... ... i was too focused on hendrix ....
take care, lil' kara
