Hang in there. We really need to have a real diagnosis for an old fashioned “nervous breakdown” (I read the same book over and over - stupid books - keeps my brain occupied, but doesn’t take so much of it). ---

Ugh. You may be in a small bit of withdrawal if you’re feeling worse than when you went on the drug. It shouldn’t last too long for something you’ve only been on for a month. Feel better, hon. ---

I’m sorry babe. I don’t like it when people I like are suffering, and I like you. You really are worth hearing. (reading?) You know this will pass. Do something that feels good and ride it out. The best I’ve got are supportive vibes and a wish for you to feel better tomorrow, so that’s coming your way! ---

I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time, **monstro**. I enjoy your posts, what you’re going through is thoroughly intriguing though I’d certainly rather you weren’t having to deal with any of it. I keep rooting for you and hoping you find treatment that works. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be. ---

I too was just thinking about you Monstro and I was hoping you’d check in soon. I am sorry that you aren’t feeling well right now. You know, I always look forward to your posts. You write so beautifully…so expressive and concise. Maybe you could write something to your doctor if you don’t think speaking to her is working? ---

I’m sending you brain honey, can you feel it? I’m sending you a tsunami of it, using all of my focus. It’s to slow up those thoughts. Honey ought to do, it ought to stop them in their tracks! Wishing nothing but good thoughts for you! Hope you’re feeling better soon, please stay in touch, you know how we worry! ---

Sorry for my flip response earlier; our posts crossed like ships in the night, only not in the romantic sense. I hope you feel better soon. ---

I have a lot of mental illness in my family, and many family members on my mother’s side have had severe cases of it, and I’m mildly schizophrenic, and sometimes I feel like I’m losing it. So, **monstro** , I understand where you’re coming from. I hope that you’ll be all right. ---

I woke up prematurely this morning, but managed to convince my brain to go back to sleep. I had the craziest dream. I dreamed I was Wesley Snipes as a helicopter pilot! On one hand, my body is rejoicing because I have energy again. How wonderful it is to have my energy back! But at the same time, mind is being shaken up by all the nonsensical looping. It was there while I was on the Anafranil, but it wasn’t quite so powerful. So I guess the drug was somewhat effective, but not worth being so comatosed at work. I feel a lot better today than I did last night. It’s the evenings that are usually the worst for me. I hope tonight I’ll be able to keep it together. Thank again for the support, everyone. It is very lonely having craziness inside you. > [@Helena330](#): > > Did you get your walk in today? I got in three miles in yesterday morning, but I had to catch a ride home from work because of the rain. In a couple of hours, I will go to my yoga class and try to excise some more demons with my awesome asanas. ---
