[QUOTE="Shari, post: 13119, member: 1848"] Thank you all. Ive taken the Zoloft a couple different times. Way back when easy child 1 was born, I took an anti-depressant then. Long before there was much choice. It made me numb, and I hated it, still question if I needed it, even, and wasnt on it long. Twice when I found out DEX was cheating on me, I used Zoloft with great results. Both times I was able to come off of it when the heat was off. I was even able to come off it fairly quickly. Thats why I went back to Zoloft this time. And I cant say that its done a thing. When the onslaughts arent continuous, I can handle it, regain my composure between them, etc, that hasnt come about because of the medications. But like this weekend, when it was literally one thing after another (and a few things I didnt post), when there was 48 hours with literally no break in between incidents to regroup, Im not so sure its not normal to fall apart in that situation, medications, mood disorders, or not. But I cant. Maybe I need something more like a Xanax or something that can be taken as needed, I dont know. I dont know that I really feel like Im bi-polar. Too many people have turned away from difficult child 2 and validated my feelings regarding him. But the constant roller coaster is taking its toll, and I often question and doubt myself, like we all do. Sometimes my moods probably do go from good to bad in a short time, but its generally related to an action of a difficult child. And sometimes that action is relatively small, but when you deal with fisrt grade behavior for 12 years, it gets old. And it doesnt take 12 years. And when theres not more phone calls from teachers, bad reports from therapists, and disagreeing spouses that immediately follow the difficult child action, Im generally back in a good mood in a short time. I was the one that pulled that party together when easy child 1 and difficult child 1 got arrested at our wedding reception which certainly could have been a trigger to fall apart for a lot of folks, I think. Had lunch with husband and hes not on board with Mr IHBT and the no-confrontation methods, thus feels I am doing too much for difficult child 2 (like picking up the toys). So we need to talk. Asking my sitter to keep difficult child 2 late tonight so we can do that. Will keep you posted. Knowing Im not alone in this has made night and day difference in my life. [/QUOTE]
