Hi ladies.
I've been having anxiety lately.  I think the medication I started taking (2 months ago) isn't really helping.  Also I have a phone interview tomorrow for an out of state position and I think the reality of this is starting to hit me.  I feel like I need to sort of plan things out and say, if A happens we will do this, if B happens we will do that. But I'm super anxious and emotional and feel like crying at the littlest things.  J goes with the flow and is not a worrier--and when he does worry he internalizes--so although he's supportive...he doesn't get it. Things with us are fine, but I think he thinks I'm crazy lately. I hate feeling like this.  :?

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I would talk to your doctor about adjusting your medicine.

Not a fun feeling blueeyes -- I hope you can find a better med.

Finished my long run for the week, only one more to go until the race. Now I get to battle with one of my diss chapters and then bowl with DH. Oh, and I need to apply to more jobs.

bg and 1confused1, I'm seeing my doctor in a week so hopefully he can change something.  The issue is that I tried something else before this one and felt great...except for one common side effect.  So he changed me to this one which doesn't have that side effect, but is not helping my anxiety. Ugh.

I'm debating about making an appointment with my counselor. She's $150/hour though so that's a lot of money to shell out for one visit

I am so sorry you are feeling this way blueeyes. I would make an appt and get a new med soon.

@blueyes623 there are a lot of different meds you can try -- I wouldn't give up yet! But it is a pain trying to find the right one.

It's definitely a pain and frustrating. I'm not giving up on finding the right thing for this damn anxiety!

AChase, I think you should do it. It can only help, so it would be worth every penny. The suddenness of it alone I would need help coming to terms with. Were you able to make other plans last night? Or what did you end up doing? I'm sorry you are going through this.

achase123 have you tried an online therapist? Really affordable and I've liked mine a lot so far.

I went to visit my aunt and be with family. I'm going to go down and get my stuff from his place tonight..I think at the very least I need to get a few things off my chest

Can I ask how often you email with him/her?

@blueyes623 - I'm sorry you are feeling anxious. When I feel that I am going through something more stressful than normal life, I always tell my psychiatrist and he ups my dosage a little and then weens me back to the previous dosage. It may be mental for me, but it helps! I hope your anxiety goes away soon and you know what your next step will be! Good luck on your interview!

Thanks abcdefu.  I actually see my PMD for my ADs and I'm starting to think I should find a specialist.

I discovered my cat must have fleas. And then I found one on him. :/ So I went out and bought the treatment and put it on the back of his neck. Will have to wash my sheets and my parents sheets tomorrow. And lots of vacuuming.

And I just hope I caught everything quick enough. So much fun!!

We're on the west coast, so the eclipse was already in totality when the moon rose. DH and I went outside to try to see it, but we're surrounded by trees, and normally don't see the moon until an hour or so after it rises. We went outside at about 7:45, but the moon wasn't high enough. I asked if he wanted to drive to a clearer spot to see it. He didn't, so we kept going in and out for the last hour trying to see the eclipse. The last time we went out, DH suggested that maybe we drive down a bit. 
I told him it didn't sound like a good idea. It did when I suggested it, but it doesn't now.

I'm still smitten with karaoke dude, despite my best efforts. He was here a few weeks ago, will be here next weekend, and I'm going out there at the end of October. Everytime I think about him or see him or talk to him I get all weird and giddy. Why does this happen with someone who lives halfway across the country?

Dammit I'm pretty sure mp called this multiple times. I give you this opportunity to say I told you so.

Hahah. No I told you so moments, but ...

Is he romantically showing interest in you? Or platonic??

Romantic, I think? I'm bad at deciphering this stuff.

I had met his kids and his sister before but last time he was here he introduced me to his parents and other siblings too and was holding my hand/being affectionate. He did not say "this is my current love interest" or "this is my girlfriend"- I was introduced like they had heard of me before.

Personally, I wouldn't introduce someone to my parents unless I was very interested in them- but that could just be me.
