Hi, Irene. I like what you said about us all being well intentioned. It fits right in with another example of my version of foot in mouth that I'd stewed about for over a week at the beginning of the month. A woman in a small group facilitators' meeting had had her feelings hurt because I had objected (unncessarily)colorfully? strongly? dark humoredly? to some words she'd used in a job description. She'd carried her hurt around for a month before letting me know indirectly. I was annoyed and embarrassesed and very sorry and again thought "stupid Topamax," "Stupid linda."
A good thing came of it, though--we agreed to assume good faith on the part of each other and the entire group. (She thought I was dissing her, I thought she was after me). I'm going to insert this good faith thing into my small group's covenant when we meet for the first time this coming Wednesday.
So thank you for reminding me of that. As for the ritalin, I'm so far from understanding it except as a drug for kids with an attention or hyperactivity disorder (I can't remember the acronym)that I can't for the life of me think that I referred to it. I know I've wondered, casting about for alternative diagnoses, if maybe I've got the adult form, but no.
Something else you wrote intrigues me--that you can't use antidepressants because of a bladder problem--that's got to be frustrating. I haven't heard of that barrier to AD use. (Mine's not wanting to gain weight! and the meds not working.) Is it a common problem?
