Post treatment emotional rollercoaster
Wasn't sure if I should post this on this site or the social site. Anyway - here goes:
I know people talk about riba rage while on treatment, but I'm having difficulty with emotions 4.5 weeks post treatment. I seem to be having stronger feelings of anxiety and anger than I did while on treatment and I'm feeling more distant from someone I care deeply about. I don't know what's going on, but it is causing trouble. I can't seem to connect with my significant other.
Anyone else experience something like this? It is ironic that we were so close when I was on treatment and now, when my brain has started functioning again and I'm not so numb all the time, we seem to be drawing apart. What gives?

Thanks for the replies. Don't think I need drugs - maybe just a personality transplant!

It's not uncommon for that to happen early after finishing treatment,if it's unbearable you might want think about getting some meds to alleviate the feeling of depression and anxiety.Tell yourself also that it will subside before you know it.Some relationships can go a little sour during treatment,nothing time can fix.
Wishing you the best.

I can only speak for myself and after doing 3 failed treatments I can tell you I have had my ups and downs. I can't tell you if it is because of the medicines or what but I think it is safe to say life is hard enough as it is and doing these tx's puts us all through the ringer.
You have made it through the treatment and hopefully you will reach SVR soon. Today of all days is a great time to start trying to possibly work through any issues regarding loved ones and be thankful and hopeful.
Hopefully the longer off the meds you get things will start to return to normal.
I wish you the best of luck with reaching SVR and with working through any tx hangovers!!!
Take Care and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It does feel l am coming out of a tunnel....I get little windows of clarity for a few hours where I feel like myself again...then I return to the sensitive, semi-resentful-in-my-head nutcase :). It DOES get better. Know that we've been through quite the traumtic adventure and we need time to heal.
Good luck and keep us posted...
