Hey guys,
First off, Con, your post made me feel better. I lost my job at Christmas time. I was laid off from General Motors. As you all well know, the car business is going slowly down the drain. I was in a real funk for a long time. Still am kind of. But that job was not "me". So thanks for your post.
GYAC?? where are you babe? I have some concerns about my bf. I only turn to you guys cause I always get the best advise here. Lately he has been VERY irritable and nasty. It seems he starts fights with me over the dumbest things. Is this because the "pink cloud" has lifted? We are still trying to pick up the peices of wreckage left behind from his addicition. Tickets he got, belongings he pawned, friends we lost.......slowly we are making head-way. But it seems the last few weeks, his attitude is just very mean and nasty. Especially toward me. What the hell did I do? It's not fair. Has anyone here had this happen to them once they gave up the gear? He has been clean 100 days. Hope he's not thinking of using. He met with his sponsor last night for almost three hours. He came home in a better mood.
ANY input would help.

OH-edit to say -when I went to the doctor to get checked out( I might as well use all my medical insurance ,right?)- - I tell him my story- and he gives me 2 sample packs (14pills) of zoloft- he tells me to take 1 a day for depression and anxiety- and come back in 2 weeks - there still unopened on my nite stand. I dont think I want to start with anti-depression sh?t- yaknow.

Hiya Amity,nice to have u back,lot,s of people have been worried about u...Bryn seems to have disappeared but i,m pretty sure she will be back to take over the board sometime soon,,,take care pal....ECK .xxxx
Jack......WOW 13 years!? that really sucks.
I knew the lay off was coming, but the way they did it really sucked. I am SO GLAD to hear that you never even opened that CRAP. my doctor tried to give me Zoloft after my son was born. I had post pardum pretty bad. The very first one I took made me vomit my guts out and I never took another one. then I was put on a very low dose of SERAFEM. it's supposed to be designed for women. I took it for about 4 months and stopped without telling the doc. Then proceeded to cry NON-STOP for 5 days....it was horrible. I WILL NEVER take another anti-depressant again as long as I live. Logging onto this board is just like a mini therapy session for me.
How is your job hunt going now? I can't seem to find anything. Even with all of my experience. Hopefully things will change soon. I have faith in our new president.

Amity, so glad to see you back here ...... take care, Kev
Kev, you've been MIA...wassup? How's tricks?
I'm sound M&M will post later on today. hope all is well with you
@ Dani - I find myself irritable sometimes for no reason. Personally, I think it's not using anymore and it's my addiction trying to con me into using to feel better. Any excuse right?
I'm not falling for it!
