I know this is the "positive" spot, but this afternoon, I am not feeling so positive! Dang it! Had a great breakfast my 84 year old dad prepared for the fam this am and I'm so grateful he is doing so well and we could get together, but I am in a funk!!!!! Post holidays? Been off the CRAP for over a year now and doing well most of the time, but today I am not. Hubs going to work in a few hours and I don't know what I am going to do with myself! I have lots of things I could do, taking Christmas decos down, ironing, cleaning house, but just can't get in the mood for any of it!!!! And I know I am rambling on, but I hope just getting it out here will help in some way!!! Sorry y'all have to put up with this.! Feels like I am harkening back to the old days of w/ds last year!!! And yes, I know this will pass, just having a rough day!!! Praying y'all are not!!!! Love hugs and prayers all!

Clara,
What I retain from your post is" Doing well most of the time " and that is a big positive one, definitely in the right topic.
And, yes, this will pass! Thanks for sharing.

yep, it'll pass, Clara ... I'm actually having a similar sort of day today as well ... for me, I think it's a combo of post-Christmas (happens every year), and having to get back to working my 2 jobs ... I'm wearing down, and will definitely be glad when this 2d job ends in a week ... I just remind myself of where I was last year this time, feeling hopeless and that there'd never be another good hour, much less day, in my life ever again!
Just give yourself full permission to feel "funky" ... do something nice for yourself ... hot bath, nap, whatever it is ... and hell, leave the Christmas decorations up until Easter ... or next Christmas ...

Interesting and difficult holiday time, but have learned I do better when I'm busy and when I'm around people. I've had some time to be alone without much to do and my anxiety has welled up big time. Off Cymbalta for 4 months after 22 years on various anti-depressants and it's a longer ride than I expected. The last week has been the worst since I started.
Sit around and watch TV --> feel bad. Do something --> feel less bad.

Great post, jimmcg! 4 months off the Crap, after 22 years on crap of one sort or another ... now that is a true success story!! 
Just be easy on yourself ... your brain has 22 years of tangled wiring to carefully sort through and get properly organized again ... it probably looks like a huge box of tangled Christmas tree lights in there ...
Your point about the "doing" as an antidote to the anxiety is an excellent one ... and that you're able to "do" this early in the process is an excellent indicator that your Christmas tree light sorting process is well on the way!

Just jumping on for a minute to shout out a positive today. In spite of my pain I went to Ash Wednesday Mass today (not alone) and received my ashes. It's was positively a positive for me to be in one setting (other than my home) for an hour. This is the start of Lent for me and I will pray for each and everyone of you.

Clara,
I wish you the best and hope that your tests will reveal what will be best for you. I agree, not feeling good is a real bummer.
Please keep us posted - I pray that you will be feeling normal soon.
Liz
