[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 210721, member: 3444"] Thanks Jennifer :) Beth, I'm sure the state of my family and the economy doesn't help. I'm definitely less motivated this year than the past three to five. Granted, it's been a hectic year with the surgery, difficult child 2's school and psychiatric issues, and difficult child 1's issues, vacation with the inlaws didn't help, and we're in debt up to our eyeballs, worried husband might not have a job in January, so I'm not feeling very good about doing much of anything. MWM, I was holding at 150mg for the last year or so. Before that I was at 125mg for a long time. I just went back down to 125mg about a week ago, and I feel like I'm doing better activity-wise, but I find that my patience does not hold up as well with some things. I initially started out on an SSRI (Celexa) about 8 years ago, and it helped a little bit for a year, but then I just stopped working. That's when I started with my current psychiatrist and he switched me to the desipramine (aka Norpramin). I'll have to talk to him about it at our next appointment. I'm just so tired of looking around me and thinking: I should be doing this, and this, and this (basic daily household stuff). And instead I just hide and find a hundred other things to do. I'm not feeling very responsible, I guess! Tired of the rut, but can't quite get the momentum to jump out of it, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
