[QUOTE="dragongirl, post: 91888, member: 21244"] Hey, that's a bit hard on Jan, pebbles22! Getting a diagnosis or an unexpected change to more severe medication is trauma - little 't' compared to earthquakes, I guess. But still traumatic. And the mind shuts down on feelings on these occasions. But there's always a day (or a week or whatever) when the feeling starts again and the enormity hits us. That's when tears flow - what Freud called an overflow of the excess emotion. It's healthier out than in, and needs sympathy/empathy rather than chiding. Jan will pick herself up when she's able to. Sounds like she's started with that chicken casserole :D You've had a hard time of it with your own family, though - you've done well to find and keep a positive outlook. I hope to learn from you (and everyone) as I live with this longer than the one month I already have. [/QUOTE]
