Med transition this week: 30mg Duloxetine + 5mg Escitalopram (Cipralex). Withdrawals are real and expected. Be gentle with yourself — this is a hard week physically on top of everything else.

The Recurring Stuff

every day

You're already doing these. They count. Acknowledge that.

Drive Davis to/from school and golf
daily
Make dinner
daily
Grocery shopping
as needed

About Amanda's friend. Grief doesn't have a task list. You're carrying this too — supporting Amanda through it, processing your own feelings about it. That's invisible labor and it's real. Give yourself credit for just being present through this.

About the withdrawal symptoms. Cross-tapering meds is physically hard. If today is a low-output day, that's not laziness — it's your body adjusting to a chemical change. The bar for "enough" is lower this week, and that's okay.

You don't have to do all of this. You just have to pick one thing. Then do that thing. Then pick another — or don't.
