I haven't seen one of these in a while.

How is everyone doing?

Questions/Concerns?

GTKY: If you had to eat only one thing every day, forever, what would it be?

I'm doing OK. I think I need my Zoloft dosage adjusted again.

Questions/Concerns
How do you keep your anxiety/depression from holding you back?
I received an amazing job offer right before returning to work. My anxiety keeps kicking into the "what-if's" of every.single.thing and send me into panic attack mode. I'm a person that doesn't do change well anyway, but this anxiety (even medicated) is keeping me from accepting/declining/staying where I am.

GTKY: Cheese

I may start joining in on this. I'm having some bug angry toward my kids, husband, etc. I've talked to my doc and decided to just change my BC for now since it was making my hormones go crazy. She said if I didn't feel better in 2-4 weeks, to call her.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. The first day back to work was good but exhausting. misshart00, come join us. I wish you weren't having issues, but we are here to support you.

How is everyone doing? Things are looking up. My anxiety peaked last week anticipating going back to school. I went back and things were better than I expected, so it has helped my anxiety. I'm taking meds now, even though I initially didn't want that, but it has helped.

Questions/Concerns? I am concerned about feeling like I have to depend on meds, so I am hoping that taking them is temporary.

GTKY: If you had to eat only one thing every day, forever, what would it be? That is hard but I absolutely love sushi. I want it all the time!

Deleted because I'm embarrassed I even typed that.

I'm doing pretty well. Daycare transition is going well, although I'm a mess in the evening thinking about not spending all day with LO. Snuggling him to death. Saw a kid take his first steps at daycare and realized that I won't see his absolute first steps, but they could occur with DH so I'll just count the ones I see first.

I stopped in at work to talk to my bosses about my first week back. It felt good to go into the office. No issues with my appointments or ambitious pumping schedule.

Still doing my support group which helps a lot. Some of it still seems kind of hokey but it's helping. DH and I are still in counseling and now have a sitter for our appointments. One sitter is a pediatrics med student and the other is a childcare worker with eve background. Not having DS there will help with focusing on us rather than his needs.

I have to go with cheese or ice cream. Probably cheese.
