And here we go again.

I thought that a sugar/acohol-free diet could help, eventually leading to a SSRI-free life.

But I was wrong.

This afternoon, the big pendulum decided to swing back.

I hope I will be back soon.

Sorry for bothering you with this.

/\ hope you feel better soon Beeston

Take care, Beeston.

I'm pretty much down in the dumps myself at the moment too, if it's any consolation to Beestonplace.

Managed to injure my lower back moving some paving stones and have had three weeks of oral morphine, cannabis drops, paracetamol, tramadol and some other fairly useless pain killer. Decided to stop all medications Monday this week and had withdrawal symptoms and increased pain up until yesterday. Now I am relying on therapy in the hope that it will improve and get back to normal without evasive surgery, but having had three cages in my neck already, surgery seems a better option than this nagging pain in the legs, groin and back with the lack of sleep dragging me down even more. I've cancelled my holiday next week and now the missus and kids will go with the mother-in-law and I will soldier on at work and rest of an evening.

There's nothing like feeling pain and depressed to take the winds right out of your sails!

Nothing compared to what you guys are experiencing, but if misery loves company... it's been a fairly miserable summer for me living without my wife while she's out east. I miss her horribly and I've never felt so lonely. I miss all the small things, like sharing coffee in the morning, listening to music together, holding each other as we fall asleep. This long distance thing sucks.

Hope you're on the mend soon, hep.

Well, there's that. I'm happy and grateful that not only are we both gainfully employed but also that she is finally doing something she enjoys. For the past year or more here, she was miserable about her job, and of course, that mood couldn't help but spill into our life together and create strain. At least now when we do see one another we are very happy. I don't know. I'm conflicted about it. I truly believe in the magic of living together through thick and thin, taking the bitter with the sweet, and so on. So I'm often miserable without her and it's just me holding things down in what is, for all purposes, our home.

At the same time, yes, we are married, both committed to one another, to a monogamous relationship, and one we both enjoy--we're so much alike, that it can be freaky, even to us (though we're not about to go to mall in matching t-shirts). So there's no insecurity about that aspect And that supports our recognition that this is temporary, and, whether it's here where I am or out there where she is, our mutual commitment is to make things work out so we're together again and fairly soon.

And yes, in the end, at least we're not shacking up in a poorhouse. Just yet anyway.

Our married life now is filled with plane flights and the everyday routine of wake-up calls and bedtime chats by cellphone. The wake-up calls are actually very sweet.

I'm of the belief that the optimum is maintaining separate abodes and meeting up over weekends, in the week for restaurants and sex. The erotic cannot survive domesticity, kids and likely age too.

But in saying that, I do miss them when I go on business trips now, where once they were adventure, now they are a hindrance and I try and procrastinate until I have to go.

Chipper · 2016-07-31 10:29:09

Ha. I hear ya. For me, personally, after 6 years of almost continual togetherness, I'm still fascinated with her. No kids with another, just my grownup ones from a previous lifetime, so maybe that's a factor in our continued bliss.

It is modern and hip, I suppose, to live apart, but I guess I'm just an old-fashioned romantic at heart.

Oh, I see. Sorry, I misunderstood.

Beestonplace · 2016-10-15 05:27:23

Welcome back. This time it seems to be a severe 1 week period. Have taken the pills, but still.

4F Hepcat · 2016-10-15 08:05:28

Hang in there!

Bop · 2016-10-15 09:14:15

My modern life survival kit is....

Magnesium Glycinate 200mg-400mg, Unconcentrated Fish oils 1000-2000mg, Ester-C 1000mg near bed time, zinc 7mg after large meal, Renew Life Critical care 50 billion probio one a day, and vit d3 1000-2000 iu a day..sometimes a bit more if im low..but not exceeding 4000iu a day for a couple of days.

That should sort most people out, theres no Vit D to be had till spring now so taking a small but regular dose through winter can keep that blues away!
