In reply to Marital strife to AD's to NOW I WANT OUT! SOS!!, posted by Barb on September 10, 1999, at 7:36:33
(I'm sure most people son't reply to their own threads, unless MPD is involved, but I wanted to make a correction and mention one more thing.)
We have three wonderful kids and have loved parenthood for the most part. We are pretty good at it so far (but haven't hit the teen years yet).
I can't imagine changing that. Both of us a too good for them all. But I am ready to be HAPPY. (Personal pity party: In some ways life has really sucked for many years, even before marriage. End of pity party)
I guess we are just in a really bad place right now. And I have little hope of it changing. But I like who I am at this point, even if it means a lifetime of low dose AD use.
> My spouse and I have had a rocky marriage since early on. But we truly have LOVED eachother and really feel like close friends. But marriage, life and "growing up" finally led me to go on Zoloft. I felt really good, a bit different from my ususal high energy, ambitious self. And I gained weight!
> I recently switched to Wellbrutin. I have lost 16 pounds in six weeks, feel balanced like on Zoloft, but I have energy, and my wits about me (if that's possible!
> But now I know how unsatisfying my marriage has been for the most part. Year's of counseling have not had permenant results. I am SCARED, needful, and so uncertain...Anybody relate? (Sorry for rambling, but I really like this 'web space'.)
