Wow! They will actually call you and tell you how much they appreciate you??? I'm looking forward to that day!
I have two boys also---this one is 17, the other is 18. How old are yours? I know the one will be a father soon. What about the other one?

My oldest son is 33 (lives in Salt Lake City) and going to be a papa in Nov. Mainly, he is thanking us because we have helped them out financially a few times and also emotionally. It really makes me feel good to know that I am appreciated. My other son is 29 and is renting a room from us. He is a supervisor at Fox Sports and is doing great. He's in no hurry to get married because he has had two bad relationships. We don't mind him living here because we have lots of room and he doesn't get in our way. As a matter of fact he is hardly ever home.
I love both of them so much and all I want to do is see them happy. I know they appreciate me even though sometimes they don't say it in so many words. Sometimes you just have to wait till they become adults for it to "hit" them as to how much you have done for them. It will happen to you, too, when they get a little older and wiser.

Hey Beaglelover,
The psychiatrist you are seeing sounded a tad bit uptight. He may be "highy rated", but your experience is important. Maybe he clicks with some people and not others, which is pretty normal. If it seems unworkable, you might consider trying someone different. I know taking the meds can be a pain. I hate taking the meds I am on. Good luck and hang in there!!

Yes, I was thinking today that he is kind of tightly wound. I think we don't mesh because our personalities are so totally opposite! I'm the emotional, overly dramatic type, and he's a quiet nerdy kind of guy.
Sometimes I think I'm saying things to him to see if I can get a reaction out of him. He has one of those poker faces---and it drives me crazy that I never know what he's thinking.

College? COLLEGE? Girlfriend, colleges have rowing teams! Oh yeah! I don't know where you are, but I'll betcha if your college is close to the water, you have a crew! I would KILL to be on a college crew! When I was in college, girls were not permitted to row; it was for boys only. Girls took home ec. Thankfully that all changed in the late '60's.
So you're going to college -- you GOTTA check out the crew! Oh yeah. The coach will test you for your strength -- so get on those weight machines at the Y, Girlfriend!
If you tell me you're near Boston, where they row on the Charles River, I'll die of envy. Or, if you're near New Hampshire, Dartmouth has a crew that's a winner (of course). Fabulous boathouse there! Are you anywhere near the Skuykill River? That's Boathouse Row! U.C. Berkeley? They have an old antique boathouse that's the cutest I've ever seen. Stanford? Those gals ALWAYS win! Oh, gosh, I could go on forever....
I recommend crew for you, BL!

I'm not going to college this fall!!!! Our son is---he just graduated from high school and is headed to an art and design college this fall.
I did the college thing YEARS ago---I graduated 24 years ago, to be exact.
Ahhh, those were fun days! (I have a journalism/education degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas.) Sic 'em, Bears!

I know that doctors can have terrible "bedside manners," but I think you might want to be careful with medications. Instead of stopping entirely, maybe you could ask for an increase/decrease or even a different medication. One of the meds I take is Lithium and my doctor has me get my lithium blood levels checked about once a year. Hang in there - you have lots of friends on this forum that love you and care about you.

I hope the new eye doctor will figure it out, too. Sometimes side effects can linger, but a month does seem like an awful lot of lingering! Good luck - I'll be thinking of ya. I have terrible vision anyway, but a blurring like that would drive me crazy too.

going off to college sounds fun to me! I loved the whole college experience---living in the dorm, making friends from all over the world, going out of town on the weekends, football games, margaritas on Thursday night, panty raids, etc.
I've been helping my son get together things for his dorm room---a comforter, sheets, pillow, lamp, etc---and I'm kind of jealous!
It was one time in my life I didn't worry about money, washing clothes or what to fix for dinner! I just had a great time. (And yes, I did study. I graduated with honors, even with all the fun I had.)
Sic 'em, bears!!!
