Xanax is more like taking aspirin: it works for awhile, then wears off and it's gone. It makes most people feel mellow and calm, and can help keep your thoughts from getting all jangled when you have something you need to work through. And if it DOESN'T work that way for you, if it just makes you sleepy or muddled, then you just take a nap and it's gone when you wake up.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887799980878151997.post-31884430960464161772010-07-02T10:10:51.056-06:002010-07-02T10:10:51.056-06:00Psychiatric medication scares me too.

It reminds me of how I feel about an epidural, and what I did with THAT is I waited until I was in so much pain from labor, the fear of the epidural was DWARFED by it. That's what I do psychiatrically, too: if I wait to be in enough mental pain, then the thought of taking medication isn't as scary.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887799980878151997.post-72278309543067621812009-06-19T06:24:00.153-06:002009-06-19T06:24:00.153-06:00I'm so happpy you were able to get a second op...I'm so happpy you were able to get a second opinion!

You should never feel badly for getting a second opinion - and if anyone calls you are an idiot for worrying, so help me I'll come kick them in the shins. <br /><br />What if. WHAT IF, the new doctor sees something that your current doctor didn't? Then, you'll be so thankful that you listened to your heart and sought out that second opinion. <br /><br />And if the new doctor tells you that everything is progressing fine - (I hope that's the case) - than maybe you can rest easier. <br /><br />But, if you're still not comfortable, get a third opinion. Or fourth, until YOU are satisfied.The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887799980878151997.post-51123733122208316932009-06-10T19:58:37.279-06:002009-06-10T19:58:37.279-06:00I feel like I should get a second opinion.

While she doesn't have his eating challenges I wanted you to know, shes just a tiny kid. <br /><br />But. You are his mother. No one is going to have better instincts about him then you are. If something isn't sitting right with you I say you wouldn't be out of line trying to get a second opinon.<br /><br />Or a different doctor. You should be able to talk about this with your doctor and have him give you a better explaination then "my kid had that". <br /> <br />You're in charge.

At eighteen months, she was living on Cheerios, Hula Hoops, Party Ring biscuits and milk. This didn't improve much until she was over two.<br /><br />If she'd been my first, I'd have gone crazy. Since she's my third, I was crazy already and totally past caring. Now she's four, she's more adventurous with food than my boys.

See, the DH (or Donor, as Mr. Lady likes to call them) may have been at work all day. Is that the case in your house? It is in mine. So they want to come home and relax after committing most of their waking hours to someone else in the name of a paycheck. They don't see what we do all day. They can't comprehend how many diapers, and bottles, and outfits (baby's and ours) we've been through in the day, let alone the tears (baby's and ours) and the exhaustion we may face. The way they see it, we're home all day so we should be able to get to all of that.<BR/><BR/>A lot of our significant others who aren't around all day to see this all transpire don't get it. (Some of them do.)<BR/><BR/>They WON'T get it until you make it perfectly clear. One night, when he's in a good mood (or perhaps over the weekend when all is going along swimmingly) give him time to get settled, then, after the Little Interrupter has been put down for the night or a nap, have a heart to heart. START with "I know you work really hard all day at work." I don't care if his job entails sitting at a desk watching a security camera or basketweaving. Start with "I know you work hard..." Move on gently from there explaining, calmly, your day, the work you do. THEN explain that you could use some help and be SPECIFIC about what you'd like him to do. Wash bottles? Pay bills? Be realistic. What can he do at the end of a long day at work that won't eat up his ENTIRE evening (but will help you with yours)?<BR/><BR/>Once he takes over that duty (or those duties), DON'T criticize how he does it or when he does it. Just be happy that he's doing it, helping, and use some of the time he's saved you to be with him. :)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes!JenPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706445916591332075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887799980878151997.post-83440497525182265662008-11-24T09:31:00.000-07:002008-11-24T09:31:00.000-07:00Wow, Swiggy.
