Lexapro and lethargy

Languishing in lethargy. 5

Can someone out there confirm that most antidepressants are dispensed as pills, which are hard to grind to soluble dust?
I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.

In retrospect, I think I (the reader) was providing the energy to this story rather than the story itself.

Yes, your writing style is efficient enough that, if there were any plot movement, it would flow nicely; but as it turns out, that’s a monumental “if”.

I really question the possibility of any of these characters or events occurring as described, but since the lethargy of the plot is so overwhelming it’s difficult to give a fair evaluation.

There was a lot if ennui, lethargy... something about this that seemed different from your earlier works. What happened to the crush your windpipe guy? Perhaps the agonizing. drawn out semi arrangement he kept up seemed somewhat pointless. Suppose his second marriage turned into somewhat of a comic relief and a bit more fanciful that the abject reality of the preceding. The reader needed something he could take away. Also, showing that Maria actually turned out a slut offered some relief for the pity she engendered.
Ever get any feedback from JPB? (I know you have.)

Hello: I have not read this part 4. When I read the preface and the pregnancy and likely hormonal issues, I had to come right a note immediately to check on you. That’s what Uncles do, you know😊. Did you have the baby yet? And whatever, if this is your first, do not fret. The moods, depression, lethargy are hormones! You may likely be prone to post partum blues as well. But that too will pass. There are things to help those conditions, but Al doesn’t want to go too far trying to help.
Meanwhile, too noticed the hard enough to hammer nails a lot, it doesn’t bother me a bit. That sounds like a chronic whiner/ complainer . Likely his Mom didn’t allowchim to breast feed long enough and he still has issues. If you want a change up, try “ like a jackhammer tearing up concrete”.
I’m going tonread now, but post a quick note IF you can. Looks like many are genuinely concerned about you.

As the title says, I'm not a doctor (or a lawyer, counselor, or any other medical type), but I am an engineer. I hadn't noticed the comparision to Ohios' story, but it is valid. I'll buy the BiPolar excuse before the depression. I have inlaws, outlaws, and regular relatives that are bipolar, and each in their own way are very scary. The biggest problem with the bipolar excuse, is that it just doesn't manifest in six months. The infidelity was, I assume (risking all for that word) was a one-time occurence. She knew what she was doing but couldn't (wouldn't) help herself. Very strange circumstances, but I guess the onset of menopause could start triggering symptoms. God knows menopause triggers enough on its own. Things just didn't seem to fit together on the cheating.
Next thing that bothered me, Ju never seemed to profess any desire to have a restored muscle car, that was his dream. Why would he plan to give it to her? Especially as a surprise. It would make more sense to tell her upfront that he wanted to give her a part of his dream, and let her share in the restoration. Then she'd appreciate the car.
Lastly an observation, if I were to see my S.O. performing in a car next to me, I'd loose it too. I don't know if I'd be racing the troopers, but I'd sure be leaving in a hurry! Strange that the wife gets a 'walk' on her infidelity due to mental health issues. The husband gets nailed for loosing it during what could be considered a serious mental health incident. Seems like the constant inequities in civil vs criminal offenses will never change.
Time for me to take my Lexapro again, I'm starting to feel depressed (grin)! Thanks for sharing a very good story!
