Sorry that you are going through all that. Hugs

I can't get into Mo's blog anymore either. Tell her, will you.

Sounds like NO FUN! Hugs and gentle squeezes.

YES.. I have and it was hell like coming down off heroine or something.. I mean it! Nasty stuff. You and Mo had it much worse than me though.. All I can say is yes ride it out it will end and be over.. soon it will come to a place that is much better for you. Prayers always : )

Since I can't read or comment on Mo's blog now I'll use yours to speak to her. Love your blog by the way Demery and I hope you and your daughter's health issues get resolved as soon as possible.

Mo, I've been reading your blogs now for over 3 years. I love your writing and wit. You are the first blog I click on every single day. I would also like to say you are not BAD MO. I feel like I know you even though I never comment. You are one deeply caring person and anyone should be proud to have you as a friend or family member. I'm sorry you've have so much to deal with over the years but it seems things are finally looking up for you and I couldn't be happier for you. You know in your heart that you are a good, caring person and your kids know this too. I think you get your feeling hurt so much because you can't understand why others aren't as caring and loving as you are. I'm the same in that aspect and there have been times I've had tears in my eyes over all your pain. Especially when your father passed. I can't for the life of me understand your mother's issues. I'm sorry you were dealt that suck ass card in life. As for your former friend apparently she wasn't the friend you thought in the first place and I know it breaks your heart. Anyway.....please add me to your list so I can continue to read. Typically you make my day with your writing and I'm always commenting at home about my blogger from Seattle and would be so bummed not to be able to continue to read about your journeys. My email is ccmulls@yahoo.com. Is that enough info for you to add me? Trust me, I read yours and all your buddies blogs (Demery, Momma, and Donna) and love all of them. You brighten my days and would HATE to have to wonder about you.

I've weaned off an anti-depressant while still depressed....I did it while my dad died and was going through the first stages of divorce, when FF went through my purse and found that email from you about his being psychologically abusive, then went to my shrink to tell him that "she's lost it.....I think she might do something stupid..." Thank you Jesus that my shrink saw him for what he was, or I could have ended up involuntarily committed. I was a complete and utter basket-nut case. Absolutely! I think weaning off an anti-depressant is a horrible ordeal, and I am so sorry you have to do it, Dem. In fact, I remember telling my shrink that people should be put away in a hotel room or something while they do the weaning, because it DOES make them insane to go off said drugs. It also made me feel like I had the flu for about 3 weeks, which was really fun and added to my delightful mental state. It was hell, pure and simple, and if you're married to someone who views psychological trouble (anyway!) as a terrible flaw and a danger to society no matter what....that just makes it all the more like a trip through hell on a runaway train.

So Demery, when I say, "Been there, done that" I mean it, and I don't mean it to belittle you in any way, whatsoever. I just hope that it helps to know that someone else went through that shit (not the physical pain, but my God in heaven I had enough psychological pain to kill Osama bin Laden) and lived to tell about it. You have a friend standing by, any time day or night, ready to slay dragons for you. All you have to do is say the word. You can come to my house to get away from your crap--ANYtime you need to. Any. Time. I know you're just like me, can't ask for help. But all you have to do is call me on the phone and not even SAY ANYTHING.....and I'll come get you and take care of you.

Now. Just get through this week and the next, because the NEXT week is DONNA!!! You HAVE to be feeling better for that visit, because I predict none of us getting much sleep and laughing until we pee ourselves. That medicine will cure anything, I guarantee it.

Love you.

(((hugs)))
