Hey Jamie,
I am sorry that you are going through so much. I dream a lot. I thought it was the effexor, but I still dream a lot even on the pristiq. But I always have had very vivid dreams.
I am glad that you stood your ground and asked friends to leave so that you could be alone. It sounds like you fully took charge of the situation and did what is best for you. Many times I just endure it being afraid about hurting peoples feelings. When I am the one suffering in teh meantime. No more of that. I will take your example. Gald that you were able to listen to some music that you enjoy and relax.
Keep us posted my friend. You have a lot on your plate right now. Take care of you. You deserve that, you are a good person.
Hugs, Karen
