I am a paramedic. At least you know what you are dealing with. If your co workers no also that will help. Just stop go into another room. Your break room and breath relax. Your co workers should understand and also know how to treat it. Is there something that sets them off or is it random. Also you know as well as I do that there is meds out there for this problem. Get it under control. Don’t be embarrased, its part of life. Just do the best you can and move on. Good Luck.

Thanks, Becky. And no, I didn’t ask him. It didn’t occur to me that it is a “medical situation” to take SSRIs.

I’ll ask him, though.

Sorry you’re having so much trouble. :( I’m surprised Travis gave you the go-ahead to update the whole wide world with his medicinal situation. He rarely even puts his status on Facebook. You did ask him, right?

Hummmm…..

What if you stayed off of the drugs altogether, and worked on learning how to manage your anger naturally? It can be done, you know. You could, with some effort, have the ‘in touch’ feelings, without the rage. A really good therapist can assist in that goal.

Whatever you do, I hope things get sorted out quickly and you get to where you want to be.

Stick to your guns, girl! You’ll make it through; I have faith in you! Scary story here, and one I never thought I would get from you, but I’m glad you shared it with us. Maybe it will keep someone else from following that same path, especially someone who doesn’t have the determination that you do. Remember, too, that I still love you!
