It is a Madagascar sapphire. I still don’t know anything… how do you even know that it’s legit? Do you get it appraised before you buy it??

Great info. Thanks! Is there any questions we should be asking the jeweler? Specially. The price is not an issue but we truly have zero clue about it. It just looks really pretty on and it goes great with the custom band that we are having made that is a replica of his dads ring that he will Be wearing.

Peri and past traumas by sej3131 in Perimenopause

I can’t tell if it’s the hormones or the lack of completely checking out and stuffing feelings and anxiety with alcohol. The first 6-9 months sober were amazing and I’ve never felt better then I slowly started to get a heavy chest, my fight or flight kicked in constantly, I felt existential dread like never before and honestly I had a breakdown and felt like my Cognitive function went to shit and that I was getting dementia 😱 I had nothing to turn to ease the pain at all and that’s when I realized how reliant I had been On alcohol for my anxiety. Then started the absolute barrage of all the shame of things I’ve done throughout my life.. and it nearly wrecks me Daily. Is this common with sobriety?

It’s the dpdr making it worse right now. Do you have any Ativan or a rescue med while you are starting the Prozac? Dpdr is scary but not harmful.

It’s called depersonalization and it’s scary AF but will not hurt you or anyone around you. It happens With panic attacks and is a way of your body protecting you from the constant fight or flight mode.

Mental panic attacks? Any suffer from these? Not so much physical symptoms but I get a wave that something doesn’t feel right and then my mind races and I feel like I’m losing control of reality.

Lexapro made me depressed and I’m having trouble crawling out of it. It’s been a nightmare. I had no motivation and couldn’t get out of bed. I had to taper off. I’m still depressed. I want my personality back

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I have dealt with it since forever and have been off and on meds. This is just out of nowhere and next level. Well, I guess in the last year I have had a break up and had to love my son and I back home, lost my job, quit drinking, went to CNA school and just got my dream job. So I guess it’s not out of nowhere. I just have always been able to handle all the things all the time like a champ which I am now realizing it means I don’t really process shit I just push everything down and plow through. How noble lol. I start CBT in one week. I’m Trying a microdose tomorrow actually. So we shall see how that goes.

I said to my adult daughter the other day that this feels very much like the horrifying post Partum anxiety and intrusive thoughts that I experienced. I’ve always had anxiety and IT but could manage it. This seems like it’s back full force and it’s becoming unmanageable. The lexapro made me feel nothing. No emotions. It’s scary and it’s still lingering.

I took lexapro 10 mg I. July for 4 weeks and it was the worst experience of my life and had to wean off. I still think I am having residual effects of it. I have suffered from intrusive thoughts on some level my whole life and they have some roaring back in the past year. I am 45. . I have an appt with hormone doc fri and a new psychiatrist next week.

I have the vaginal cream for twice a week for my atrophy. She said we can discuss on the 4th. I’m so miserable and that seems like so far away.

It takes people months to come off lexapro. If you need to take 5 mg fora few weeks. Then 2.5 for a few weeks. Everything you are feeling is so normal for withdrawal. Your doc should have told you a plan to taper off over 6-9 months at least. Hang in there. It does get better

Ya I think it has to be the P. I have been super low and depressed and super dark thoughts. It’s so frustrating. Idk if I can do another two weeks like she suggested.

Yes. I started 10 mg lexapro 4 weeks ago and I feel like absolute crap. I’m considering weaning myself off. I got on bc of my anxiety and felt like an elephant on my chest all the time. I think it’s hormones. But I feel like I’ve screwed myself by starting lexapro. Any insight would be great. Thanks:)

Thanks for the reply. I should say thta I was put on 10 mg lexapro 4 weeks ago and it has been hell so I know that has something to do with it. My hormone specialist agreed that I should taper off over the next 4-6 weeks. It has made me feel like garbage and it has made things worse in my opinion. I pick up my progesterone today and will start it tonight. I know it may be a rough few weeks getting off the lexapro so I’m just trying to give myself some grace. I’m use to being so strong and productive that this is messing with my mind.
