At least feeling safe is something. My husband is here with me and is helping me. I will see my Dr tomorrow morning and my therapist next week. I have called multiple times trying to get in to see them earlier but nothing available.

I haven't had the ability to feel any good feelings during the last year or more of the 7 years I have been on Effexor. At least this new Doc I saw for the first time a couple of weeks ago concurred 100% that I needed a medicine change. I have been weaning myself off the Effexor and started feeling pleasure again in some of my favorite things to do. Then I went into anger yesterday and the bottom dropped out this morning. I will be home with my husband and feel "safe" here. The young dog is having allergy issues today and I know when to give him his prescription meds for it. I am NOT well by a long shot but my husband is helping me. If I was going through this alone I don't know what I would do. I still feel like I an awful person, by I have for the vast majority of my life. And it is something that is true.
