Just decide firmly you are going to do it...instruct you family to not only be supportive but encouraging to the point of pushing you onward through the startup. Make sure understand whats gonna happen...the sides etc. Just lock youself away, so to speak, for a few weeks in the beginning and get on the med to step number one...which will most likely be a mild feeling of stability then you lose that...then you go up again etc...Nardil will take a few months to get totally stable but once there the sides go away and it's just yaaaa, I feel "normal". Very nice feeling to not have so much tension in my head and body...makes life so much easier and more pleasant. Nice to get up in the morning and notice the sunshine and the greenness of the trees in the backyard..ya know. Little things like that is how the med started for me. More of an appreciation for the little things in life that make it enjoyable if you dont take them for granted. I know this is kinda "corny" lol but still, it's true. This is how it began for me. You can do it Courtney....please try hun. Just give it a really good go, cringe and deal as best you can with the support of your friends and family and it will pay off in the end and you'll feel so good that it's over which will also improve your outlook on life I guarantee. *hugs* almost there Courtney...make the move, that parts easy :o)
