Re: Coping with Early Stages of Citalopram
Thanks Blair!
It was such a big relief to me to know that some people were looking in on me. Some have been nice enough to just call randomly and check in. That's is very motivating.
I am in a bit of a dip at the moment, just feeling anxious and unsettled, with the associated stomach upset. This isn't from the med though, I don't think. I have a big opportunity that'd entail a job switch and moving back to a big city nearby, so I suppose that my apprehension is perfectly normal.... thoughts of moving away from friends and my stable, comfortable environment are frankly rather terrifying right now. I almost want to curl up on the couch and pull a blanket over my head and push the whole world away :s ...and increase to 20.
The irony is that I should be doing a happy dance based on my flexible job and new, even better opps. I know many people who wonder why I'm not just brimming with happiness. From most outside appearances, all is perfectly well with me. If only people could see how I feel... but I'm afraid to show them.
I suppose that I am just glad that I had the impetus to begin my treatment... with meds *and* therapy... a few weeks ago.
Thanks for your kind support, Blair.
