I never looked at it this way. I never thought about it as recuperating emotionally. I know that my emotions are not working as they should be. Positive emotions are dulled and negative ones are exaggerated. Its not as bad now with the medication. It just sort of lurks under the surface of things.

I am trying to take care of myself. Everyone keeps telling me to be keep being busy...put makeup on..go out and walk...yada, yada. I do these things. I do all these things. But being busy doesn't make me feel any better.

My husband knows all about the past. To him, the past is the past and you move on. You don't use it as an excuse. I'm making him sound like an ogre, I'm sure and he's not ....he's just not all that emotionally supportive. He is supportive in other ways. He has a lot of great qualities but I know I am alone with this.
