Feeling Good...Finally! Resolution's Grats 07/01/08

Submitted by Resolution on Tue, 07/01/2008 - 11:08am.

...still have bouts of anxiety here and there, but I got 8-count em- 8!- full hours of sleep last night without relying on meds like Tylenol PM or Ambien or Benedryl! I think my issues with my family's addiction to meds and my father's own history of bipolar made me more fearful than anything else...so I was possibly afraid to accept what was going on around me. I feel alive for the first time in a long time, dare I say it? Even hopeful. I can't thank you Mamas (Special Hugs to goldie in fact) for giving me support when I needed it most. So here's some early morning grats...

1) Meds are helping.
2) My kiddos went to bed at 900 last night and all slept through the night without me hearing "I gotta go pee" or "I need some water" or "I can't sleep". Dunno if they took my cue or what on the bad sleep habits, but it seems like they have...
3) DD1 and DS1 are resolving conflict SO much better.
4) I ventured outside yesterday and enjoyed the hot Florida sun.
5) DD2 and DS2 are playing with the baby in my belly...too cute for words.
6) Stocking up on groceries today...that always makes me feel good Smiling
7) I'm caught up on laundry!
Cool I have kind supportive friends...both "real" and "cyber".
9) I got to have sex with DH four nights in a row!
10) My newest addition will be here in a month!

Thank you guys again. Sorry I've been lurking more than writing. Just reading your posts helps my day seem a little brighter.

Happy to read you feel good enough to post a grat list and go outside...always a sign for me that the black clouds are lifting.
And I think 8 hours sleep is about the most beautiful thing in the whole entire world, next to my son's sweet face.
Keep taking good care of yourself mama. Hugs.

I totally know how you feel! I started on Lex*apro about 4 months ago and I cannot believe the difference it's made. I'm so proud of you for taking that step and so happy that things are working out for you!

i can't even begin to tell how excited i am for you that your meds are helping, and that you are beginning to feel alive again! depression can be so debilitating for familes to go through, and it's a relief to hear that you AND your family are doing much better.

and sex 4 nights in a row??? wooooo! rock on res, that's awesome!!
