After only 2 days without Effexor, he started the uncontrollable crying. He has been begging me to give him Effexor all last night and this morning. To make matters worse, last week dh found out that the other guys he is working with are being laid off and he is only staying because he is bilingual. So he is stressed and he tore a strip off the kids for not eating lunch yesterday and had a major freak out in front of them.

Alex is still scared of dh's freakout in though they talked and he apologized. I sent him without Effexor today but I think I will give it to him tomorrow since he has to go snowboarding and he finds it frustrating. I don't want him crying on the slopes with no one to help and only mean kids to tease. I put in a call to the tdoc to see if she can get a hold of pdoc for advice. He did say he wanted to know how it goes.

The good news is dh is willing to see our gp about his anxiety. This is the first time he has been willing to talk to anyone. I hope the gp helps and takes this seriously. I can tell by how much he kicks at night that he really needs something. He shakes the whole bed and I swear he wakes himself up as well as me. Not that I blame him for being stressed right now but he can't be going off like he did and rip up his shirt in front of the kids. He is scary when he is that angry. I wasn't there either which makes it worse.

And did I mention that all I want to do is sleep? I am so tired from my pain and now this...
