Emailing

1. Because I’ve been emailing a male coworker for a year, every day, all day, about the political campaign and now that it is over, I don’t know what to do with myself.
2. I have had a big crush on a married man & now we’re finally going to go to lunch and I fear we’ll have nothing to talk about & because of this, our friendship will end. This has been my biggest dream, to go to lunch with him because we have so much fun together.
3. I’ve recently tapered off Effexor, an addictive anti-depressant, and went on another anti-depressant, but it isn’t as potent and the dose is lower.
Symptoms: I’m not excited about the same things I’ve always been excited about. I am easily bored. I have nothing to look forward to. However, I’m not suicidal.
Thx.

Yes, my psychiatrist is the one who tapered me off the medicine & put me on another one, based on my symptoms. She didn’t give me advice, though, as she is only a doctor for my medications.

Example:
Cstint (name changed) asked for opinions on a statement she alleged was made by her mother in-law. I offered my honest thoughts. She didn’t like it and began a childish jr high **** email campaign (basically just emailing profanity to me). Why would the opinion of a total nameless stranger mean so much to a person they would do something like that? Are they bored? Insecure? Hateful? Drama queens? Are there people who really do live no where else but online? Is it healthy (even if they don’t have healthy relationships in the real world)?
OK-retarded or not-this isn’t reality-this is perhaps a poor example-I’m sure this poster acts this way off the net too.
Some people change when on the internet or in their cars. The joke about the soccer mom in the mini van with peace stickers who flips off other traffic- what is it that changes a person, Jeckel and Hyde style-or is this the true person showing through? Really-even if you think it’s dirty laundry or not-it’s a very curious thing. Almost as if the person is drunk and inhibitions are lowered…opinions
