Yeah, what-ifs are bad. I'm the second-youngest of my generation of cousins on my mom's side, and of the about 25 or so of us, only the five youngest aren't married yet. The older ones who have married all married Christians. I've overheard my mom and her cousins discussing which of the younger bunch of us will be most likely to marry someone Jewish and raise Jewish kids, and the consensus seemed to be that I was the most likely, with my cousin Marc a close second. (Of the remaining three, one has said he no longer considers himself Jewish, one has said that she'd be OK with a Christmas tree in her home, and one is somewhat overweight and in her mid-thirties, so the older generation seems to have given up on her.)
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Hil, how old are you? If you don't mind my asking, that is. There is no right age to be married, and you have a very busy life right now as it is. I know it's hard when everyone else seems to be ahead of you though. I keep trying to not be freaked out by how many people I went to high school with (who are now on facebook) who already have three kids.

Bah. I not only feel like I need a beer, I even have a religious command to get drunk tonight, and I have no alcohol in the apartment.

All is well that ends in pizza.

OK, I attend a synagogue of dorks. Purim is traditionally a day for silly stuff. For synagogues that send out weekly emails, a spoof email for Purim has become pretty common.
The regular emails from my synagogue generally start by listing the times for everything this week -- what time services are, what time candle lighting is, and so on. The Purim spoof one contains this:
Candle lighting: Twilight (Oh, Edward!)

The status is NOT quo.
I had a really rough day yesterday that culminated in an awful panic attack. Has anyone else had bad side effects switching back from generic to brand name Wellbutrin? The generic didn't work right and I didn't have problems with the brand before, but it's been a couple of weeks of ick tryng to switch back. I need to get better. I can't keep ending the day with nausea and panic attacks.

Kristin, Wellbutrin in general seems to make me agitated; whether that translates to full-blown panic attacks, I'm not sure. I know that I have had panic attacks on Wellbutrin, but I can't say if they're related. (Although I never ever had a panic attack on Zoloft.)
Wellbutin doesn't affect serotonin, which might be something that I need, so my doctor added back a v. low dose of Zoloft. We'll see what happens.
Maybe you could do that (or add in a v. low dose of a different SSRI)? Also, w/r/t the nausea, could you try reducing your Wellbutrin dose?
