angst
Question:
I’m lucky enough to have an understanding, supportive partner. But it took him many years to learn how to deal with my moodiness and disconnectedness. For a long time he took it personally, like I was being a certain way in response to him, so he would end up getting hurt feelings over something that had nothing at all to do with him. Maintaining a relationship is a lot of work, but one of the most important factors is accepting each other the way you are, with all your flaws. He has to be willing to recognize that you won’t always have the ability to respond to him the way he would like, and that this doesn’t mean you don’t love and appreciate him.

I was on Zarontin. When I became pregnant he took me off it promptly. After I delivered he put me back on. I informed him that I was going off it. I also was taking dilanton. I knew I couldn’t take it when I went to my piano & my eyes couldn’t focus between the keyboard & the music. I haven’t missed it at all!

i wonder if anyone can offer any thoughts that might help me here…i just passed my 29th birthday last month…and realized i just cannot live my life working at a computer for the next 30 years. i’m thinking of going into the non-profit sector, and am going to try and look for secretarial work in that area so i can start a new ‘career’ there. the thing is…i’ve now been on zarontin for a few months now…it is now the only medication i’m on. lately, i’ve been feeling a bit depressed.. there could be some external influences here…a cousin of mine died this summer, and i’m close to her <adult> children…it’s tough…and a friend of mine is off to mexico to do a volunteer program there for a year…<i’m a little envious>..but the hardest thing is that my partner is finding my ‘attitude’ hard to deal with. i found out from someone else online that they had problems feeling disconnected on zarontin..but the lamictal gave me memory problems, and i can’t go back on dilantin…i’ve heard bad things about its long term effects. <and epilim makes me feel practically suicidal>…so…zarontin it is. the thing is…and i apologize for writing an epistle here…how does everyone cope with being in a relationship, and having feelings of sadness/disconnectedness/depression…and manage to keep the relationship on an even keel. i’m not very good at talking, so my partner often feels left out and doesn’t understand why i am the way i am. but we love each other, and it would be awful if this was the cause of ‘us’ not working. any feedback at all would be wonderful. thanks so much for reading this.
