Comments for Mental Issues
stroke victim


I was wondering, I am 66 and had a mild stroke back in February of this year... I believe I have recovered physically, had some left side weakness, still some left.. did therapy.. but having some emotional problems ... still on Cymbalta, have been for a few years now..cannot handle much of anything... going through some financial problems now and feel like i am being crushed .. I am married.. for 21 years, not the best marriage... never really been there .. guess just two different people.. but have horrible blow ups, anger problems with all.. think everyone is against me and am being very rebellious... is this normal? And what can I do...not the same happy person any more..very un happy..
