Re: Zapping Zoloft... Completely off now, but a sad, scary time.

Oh man, I promise no overly sentimental movies! I usually only rent escapist action or comedy, when I rent, which isn't very often. There aren't many good movies. I'm pushin' it though right now... watchin Blind Side tonight.

The photo thing... That is a hugely painful thing for me. Last year I created a slideshow for my mom's 80th bday. It was excruciating to go through all my family photos (unhappy memories). Once i got that done though I was okay, and I totally enjoyed scanning and restoring all of her old photos... It was a labor of love and I got practically NO sleep for the two weeks before it was done. (If you want to see it email me and I'll send you a link)  I put all the more recent painful photos back in a big box and haven't looked at them since. But some of the negative stuff was diffused, so maybe AFTER I'm feeling better I'll tackle that. It would be immensely healing.

It's quite ironic though that you'd bring up photos now!... TODAY is her 81st bday and the last few days I've been thinking about that experience a year ago, and all the emotional upheaval, and I do think it's part of why I'm so sad right now... Thinking about her, losing her so slowly... all that.

In fact I recently heard from a slideshow forum buddy who encouraged me through the project, and i've been procrastinating even writing her back!

Thanks again for the encouragement, Miss H. It helps so much knowing you made it through -- more than once!

Good news -- zaps haven't been as bad today. Still there, but less intense.
