Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Okay. I *strongly* suggest you taper off of it. Two years is a long time to be taking an SSRI, and the withdrawal syndrome is pretty well known. In fact, even people who taper have some side effects. But going cold turkey is likely to make you really, really sick.
I'm surprised that your doctor would have you just stop taking it cold turkey. That's not very wise.
Google "SSRI withdrawal syndrome" -- it's not fun.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thank you all so much for the hairpats and support. I really needed to hear voices of reason right then to stop the glaring red of embarassment and angry behind my eyes. Some chill out time (and eating my feeling at Qdoba) with rational folks like ya'll really helped.

Will do. And I will call the doctor about this. Thanks, y'all!

Teppy, I just ordered that probiotic you recommended at drugstore.com, and it is on sale right now fwiw.

It's been hella cold lately, and I walked to work because my car was in the shop (I'm a horrible person, but when it's 30 degrees, I'm driving). Due to the aformentioned walking, I wore pantyhose under my pants to keep warm. It was unnecessary, as it is now 46 degrees outside. So, yay warmth, boo being hot.

Aims, it's probably not going to be much comfort to you in the near future, but Emeline's response to the teacher shows she's smart, she thinks fast and she has a good grasp of human nature. Ultimately, I bet you'd rather have that child than a sheep. Thinking back to myself at that age, I wonder if she's bored.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And also, Emeline lied to her! Teacher asked her if her parent's saw the note home and Emeline told her, "Oh they saw it and they don't care how I act in school."
!!!!! Totally normal for her age, but still kind of face-slappy when you hear that your own kid is doing it.
That's normal for her age? Seriously? I thought they'd be MUCH better liars by five. That is a shit lie.
