Hello again.
I'm on a new anti-depressant, Effexor. I like this one better. I have more energy and less of an appetite. Marine has also been given Effexor to help with his PTSD that has really kicked in. Let me tell you, depression and PTSD do NOT mix well. Its been rough because he's been so emotionally distant. He has shut down and that makes my depression kick in which in turn just makes him pull away more. Its been getting better. He's just not used to having someone there that really cares about him.
Its also really hard to find a therapist that has any kind of credentials to deal with combat-related PTSD. So, we're just taking it one day at a time.
The Marine Corps ball is in 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS!! I'm so not ready. With everything else going on, its really snuck up on me.
Went to a Pampered Chef party last night and spent 0 dollars. It was so hard not to buy all the little gadgets. I want some more of the stoneware. Its great stuff!!
Hope everyone else is doing well.
Love
