I’m just now seeing this notification but thank you for asking. I’m doing okay. I’ve been trying to get on the treadmill and walk most mornings and I think that’s helping my mood a bit. DD1 has been so difficult lately though and she’s just down right exhausting. I need a solo vacation. How is your husband doing? G has been so so moody lately. I always thought her sister would be the problem as a teenager, but I think G is going to be worse. At least I know A will just tell (yell) me whatever her problem is. DH is doing ok. All of his follow up visits have been great…but he’s typically very dramatic so it’s hard to really judge how things are actually healing. The emotional outbursts and bad attitude is slowly killing me. I am VERY concerned about the pre-teen/teenage years. 🏳

I sat on the floor with her and asked her what was wrong, she couldn't tell me and started to hyperventilate. I finally told her to take some time to calm down in her room. She did and 5 minutes later ran out back to play with the our neighbor outside. Completely fine. I was like wtf...not looking toward the pre teen and teen years

I started a new anxiety med last week and I feel like a new person. More awake, more energy, less tired, it feels like my sense of humor and personality are back. Dh says I’m not flying off the handle nearly as much. I don’t know how to explain it. I just feel more alive, I guess, and more like who I was a long time ago before anxiety and pandemic and kids.

mrscheese I’m so happy for you. That’s amazing. I really need to look into this. I have tried ssri’s, a few of them, and hated the side effects and honestly they didn’t help as much as I needed. This new one is not an ssri. It’s Buspirone. I’m a fan so far. And you should look into it. I will be your cheerleader!

I'm glad you're getting relief. ❤ You and my husband both! 😂 Not taken the wrong way at all. I get it. I’ve not been easy to deal with and have been quick to lash out. I own that.

scout251 glad your H's follow up visits have been good! I hope his recovery keeps going well! Is he able to move around, etc pretty well? +1 for not looking forward to teenage years with dd, though!! Yikes. Maybe we can all just trade kids then to reduce the drama. Most kids are so much more reasonable with anyone except their own mom. And it's easier not to overreact to any other kid.

I'm kinda overly excited for the blizzard because I love snow and also it's just exciting to actually have a blizzard warning! Something about the word 'blizzard'! For the last few years pretty much all the big storms have come too far inland and so changed to rain and been sloppy and un-magical; this one is supposed to stay snow all the way to the coast! But then again there could be power outages due to the high wind and that would seriously suck especially as it's also going to be quite cold (highs only 20 or so). So FX hard for there not to be many power outages! I hope the rest of you getting the blizzard can stay safe at home and that your power stays on! ( spins, are you around? Ok?) Funny tweet thread here from our quite witty state CDC director ETA-hmm that didn't do what I expected; might only be showing the first 2 of 6 or 8 tweets in the thread - look it up to see the rest.

mrscheese, I'm glad you found something that works! Meds have made all of the difference for me. We are supposed to get up to a foot of snow. I'm actually at my mom's this weekend. She broke her wrist and had to have surgery.
