This withdrawal is the strangest thing. I'm at a place now where half the time I am a basket case, and the other half of the time I'm feeling better than ever.My appetite is back. I'm not nauseous all the time. In fact, I got a hankering for favorite of mine and made the most excellent meal the other night.
I've been exercising again, and spending a lot of time in the sun outside (I have the poison ivy to prove it).
I'm staying ahead of my work. I'm back to cranking out cookie-cutter models. It's easy money compared the financial aid models I do in the fall and winter. I have better concentration too. I'm less ADHD-like when working; I actually stay on task and am less easily distracted by twitters and blogs and email. Sometimes my workday, which starts at around 7:00am, is wrapped up by 11:00am. It used to be, for lack of focus, that the same amount of work got stretched over the entire day.
On the down side, I find being around people a challenge. I am exceedingly impatient and crabby. I am prone to meltdowns. Conversations frustrate me. I also have frequent days where crying comes way too easy. I could do with a lot less of all this. I don't like being a bitch.

Hope you have a *surge* protector. ;)
Glad to hear that you are doing better. I'll bet that kicking that stubborn cold/cough is helping with the energy, appetite and focus.
Since I am near your age, and have been thrust into instant menopause, sounds like the emotional struggles may have a distinct hormonal cause. Peri-menopause is a bitch.
You hang in there and keep enjoying the summer sun.
Glad things are going better. I hope all the downside will be behind you soon :)
That sounds like peri-menopause and thyroid issues... Oh, my bad, that's me...heh.
