I've been away for awhile just trying to sort myself out and get myself together mentally....A month ago I went to the doctor complaining of certain symptoms that I thought were diabetes and it turns out I've been stressing myself out so much I'm causing my body to get all whacked out. So my doctor put me on an anti depressant/anti anxiety...it's a new medication called Pristiq and it has done so many wonderful things for me in the past month. I've lost weight, I don't emotionally eat anymore and I'm not letting BM get to me anymore!

I know I vent and complain 99% of the time but I actually have to say that FSS is doing ALOT better at our house when visiting...I think he's finally gotten a clue that FH won't be putting up with his crap anymore....and it's oh so obvious he has BM wrapped around his finger because at pick ups he's a total ass to her...telling her what he wants to do and she does it! Hey, I don't care as long as it's not in our home...walk all over her for all I care...not my kid, not my problem! I did buy him new clothes for here because she keeps sending him crap clothes with....anyway, things are going ALOT better over on this end...just thought I'd make a postitive post for once! Smile

Hey there - I'm glad to hear that you have been doing better. I also over the past few years have let my stress levels reach such an alltime high that I began experiencing od symptoms. It's amazing how much havoc stress can cause in our lives and bodies. I am currently in counseling and so far so good. Keep your chin up and know that we are all here for you.

You can't make yourself sick over things we can't control. my Dh and I had this conversation this morning, these women (BM) just are NOT worth this, the bottom line is they hurt the kids and piss off us and the DH, is this the kind of person YOU want to be? I prefer to be better then them,and I know I am. so who cares, people kick, fight, scream, and yell, the bottom line is ,the kids do grow up and treat everyone like crap anyways,in the end kids care more about themselves, then whos fighting over what.

One question, who knows that you are taking the medication? Don't let kids know, they always seems to reverse things and use it against ya, keep it quiet if you can. That too can be true of the DH also. My hubby tried it once and boy oh boy did he get it !! I told him would you rather me be emotionally stable on medication or homicidial not? That got him to shut up real quick.

My advise, do what works for you. I'm glad it is working.
