After seeing Pdoc on Thursday, I realized that I have been living this way undiagnosed for 10 years or so....it all makes so much sense now. She gave me Lamictal and Hydroxizine and will up my Cymbalta....so far on day 2 I have been able to clean my bathroom, put on makeup and socialize......not holding my breath cause when I first started the Cymbalta I felt this way too BUT I do have hope that between the Pdoc and the T that I will start to learn what normal really is. Good luck to you!
I hope I want to put makeup on and clean bathrooms soon! Good for you smiling mask.
