Apologies for deleting all past blogs. The self-censor got the better of me.
Doing better now. I got off the amitriptyline that I think was making my thinking fuzzy (and causing me to gain weight
). I started taking it to fall asleep at night, then kind of started self-medicating, wondering what would happen if I took a little more. I am super-sensitive to other people's slights or comments, and the amitriptyline was like a shield- it all bounced right off. Now, life is real again- sometimes life and all its sensations are pretty damn raw once more- which is the way it should be. We were meant to feel and to have feelings, and to share those feelings with others. Not medicate ourselves into numbness.
So, I am here, I am homeschooling my son for 1st grade this year. I walk the dog. I fold the socks.

The 1st grade's the big one- get him reading, and you'll have given him the biggest tool he'll ever need.
