So, everyone knows that I am getting married soon. As in 7-ish weeks.
I have to preface this post by saying that pre-Cymbalta, I let every little thing bother me.
I am a worrier by nature. My mind would not stop thinking about things. When I worried in the past, I would bite my lip. I don't know what it was, but it was always something I did when I was worrying or nervous.
So, when started the Cymbalta, I didn't have that worry, anxiety, or nervousness in my head or stomach. There have been times over the past few months that I know when I get stressed. I can feel it, slightly. But not bad.
Whenever anyone has asked me how wedding plans are coming, my response has always been, "Eh." Because now that I am on this medication, nothing tends to worry me like it did.
However, it's led me to also forget things. I have always been one to have a great memory, and now I struggle sometimes to find the word. I have had to be more diligent in my to-do lists, otherwise it is completely forgotten. OR, my words are getting tripped up in my head. I find myself stumbling over words more. My mind is combining the first two words in a sentence spoke out loud, and I don't know why. It bothers me, because I know what I wanted to say, and how it came out. I think I do it at least once a day.
But anyways, my point is: when I go off the Cymbalta eventually, I am going to miss not having to worry and stress over everything. I don't miss it at all right now. I wish the Cymbalta took away the hand pain, but it hasn't. So I'm dealing with it as best as I can.
