So, as you know I've been on practically every cocktail of meds in the past year when I was finally dx'd. My DH is hyper aware of my moods and watches me like a hawk. To be honest, I deserve to be watched like a hawk. Anyway, my pdoc put me back on the lowest dose of Cymbalta to help with the chronic OCD. It has tons of side affects for about 2+ months and then it settles down.

My dilemma is that I don't know who the real me is anymore. I'm second guessing how I talk, whether I'm too open (known for that), or just barely say anything. My DH notices anything that has to do with my mood. He said that he couldn't tell if our friends that we were with last night noticed that I was in a haze because of the Cymbalta. Of course that's making me question everything. I really have a hard time with boundaries. I don't mean to nosy or a busybody, I just think that's part of my extroversion. However, I'm now self conscious.

Who is the real me?!? Anyone else that wonders that?
