So I did my first painting.
It was fun!
I've found something I feel passionate about.
It's a wonderful feeling!
I suck though at it. But that's okay. Right?
So I did another painting. It's daughter in her prom dress, standing in the front yard.
When I revealed it to her she covered her mouth and held back her laughter.
She wasn't being mean. She was trying desperately to be kind. I laughed. lol.
She asked me if in the painting, next to her, was it her cave, or her date. It's the tree in the front yard. :O)!
When I find my cam I'll take a picture of my paintings.
I took myself off the anti depressant, anti anxiety, and folic acid 4 days ago.
They aren't helping. They make me want to sleep and eat all the time.....and I think they're making me feel hostile.
That's not what I want to feel, or how I want to live.
I'll find another way of dealing with "it".......

They laughed at Picasso too. I still do. I like your painting better. It's awfully sweet. I can imagine it making you smile while you were working on it.
My last blog post was about going off antidepressants. I wrote about it as being a good decision for me at the time. However, if you think you need them, I would encourage you to try others. People often have to experiment. I've surely been on seven or eight of them myself. Some didn't help. Others helped for awhile and then stopped. As you experienced, they can also make you feel differently than you wanted to feel. One made me manic.
I will also mention that they work best for moderate to severe depression, and that primary care doctors are more prone to prescribing too low a dose than are psychiatrists.
P.S. My wife is a nurse too. She's an R.N. with nearly 30 years experience (nursing was actually her second career), the last 20 of it in labor and delivery.
