Hi @jenm71
Welcome to the forums. 🙂
What Rick said, about how you’ll be changing and you’ll be like a new person, is true. I haven’t actually managed to make any progress in changing things in my life yet, but I have definitely changed. Or rather, I have rediscovered who I am, really, on the inside.
The medication only gives you a starting point, a little push in the right direction. It will take a lot of hard work to really straighten things out. But it sounds like you have a good relationship with your husband, even if it is a bumpy one, so at least you are not alone. Try to work together to deal with whatever issues you have and come up with some coping strategies that will help you overcome your challenges. Take one day at a time, one problem at a time, and don’t get discouraged. You will have set backs. You will fail, even after it seems like everything is on track and you’re doing great. It’s okay. You just need to find a new strategy and try again.
And it’s time for me to stop distracting myself from my own problems by trying to solve other people’s problems and go to bed.
Good luck and keep us posted. 🙂
