[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 676990, member: 2196"] My new psychiatrist put me on a new medication (it's actually an ancient antidepressant but new to me) call Nortiptyline. I have been on it for about 5 weeks and I had only a couple good, non anxious days last week, then I went back to having full blown panic attacks this week. Next we are going to up the dosage and see if that works. I'm not holding my breath. Actually I went ahead and signed up for a Spanish class they were offering through the district several years ago. A fellow colleage of mine, a science teacher, took the course with me. Both of us ended up dropping out after about a month because the class was too hard. I am thinking I may get something like Rosetta Stone to possibly teach me Spanish. Apparently even dummies can learn a new language with it. I am going to look into it when I get my tax returns. But even the English calls are stressing me out to no end right now. I am thinking of signing up for computer classes in the summer, when I will have more time and energy to take them. Hopefully it's not something too difficult for me to understand. Now that I've hit my forties, suddenly I just can't seem to learn new things with ease anymore. A few weeks ago my mom tried to explain how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions for my written test. She explained to me three different times, and I still don't get it. But I passed math in school and I learned it with ease back then. My brain just isn't functioning the way it used to...sigh. Anyway, ladies, thank you for your support. I'm glad I have people who can sympathize. It really helps. [/QUOTE]
