how about a check in? [View all]

things around here have seemed awful quiet of late (myself included), i'm wondering how everyone is doing.

we're in a good phase right now. i'm back on meds and am a bit better able to deal with my husband, his mood and attitude have vastly improved. the days are longer and the weather has been glorious for a couple weeks, i know that's helped the both of us. the marriage counselling hasn't happened yet, it's fallen by the wayside with me being busy with work and his improving mood. last time is saw my therapist, she told me she thinks there's a phd student at the university who might be a good fit for us and she's getting me some more info. they do a sliding scale, so that would be helpful.

he still refuses meds or individual counselling, but is in a much better place. the changes i've seen in him would seem small to people who don't understand, but they huge. things aren't necessarily fantastic, but better than they've been for months.

i'm doing well on the meds, although i have noticed that i've been weepier than i have been for a very long time. i'm riding a high right now from my new haircut. i feel a bit silly that a haircut has made me feel so incredible, but who am i to complain?

how's things by all you?
