Wow I'm suprised I wrote all that. I'm having some sort of lapse in thinking I think with my decrease in meds, the side effects are not fun. I'm not thinking clearly that's for sure. Sorry about that. I'm going to try to not post for a while.
I litterally had an entire 6 hours where I couldn't think clearly and suddenly I snapped out of it. Oh my gosh these meds freak me out!
I'll b ok. I think.
Hopefully my mind is going to think normally after getting off and the meds haven't damaged it. @__@ gosh scary. I can finally think now. So scary.

If you are getting lapses in thinking as you decrease your meds maybe you should talk to your doctor?

I married a great woman who grew up southern Pentecostal. She embraced the gospel and was used to the strictness and traditional roles but appreciated LDS equality in marriage.

I’ve only read 10 or 15 or so posts. So maybe I’m not in touch with the flow of this thread but reading the few I’ve read makes want to cherish my sweet and virtuous nearly free of guile wife, more. She is no pushover, but certainly is so very inclined to be free of conflict of soul when talking to anyone and everyone. I see how easily she puts everyone at ease when she talks with them. Why? Because virtue and goodness and kindness and Jesus are and is so very much apart of her feminine nature. As a fella or my general observation of we men is that we tend to have a little more guarded behavior. Duplicity of behavior and too much showing of ego as we interact with Gods kids rears its not so attractive head too often for me and my male counterparts. Letting our guard down, dropping our shoulders having a more soft heart and giving undivided locked in loving attention is more of a struggle for fallen man. I remember a sealing of my neighbors two little boys to he and his wife; I attended a few years back. As I sat in the Ogden sealing room near the window on a cold winter day I remarked to my self how cold the room was and questioned to myself why the heater was not on. The last to come into the room were the little boys escorted by temple workers. As they entered it was palpable they entered surrounded by unseen angels. This heaven blessed setting the beautiful expressions of the Sealer—to included ascension doctrine, it all made for a beautiful setting. In fact, I noticed that the warmth in the room was wonderfully just right, too! I turned to the window to see the lace curtains flutter because the heat was finally on. No such luck. The light lace fabric was not fluttering the heat was not on. Before I entered the Temple that day I prayed to feel Fathers sustaining love. Boy did I ever… my heart was so much more tender and my disposition so much less guarded and alive with the capacity to love lift and reflect the brightness hope of Jesus to all or any of God’s kids. I’ve often joked about leaving many a stale EQ meeting only to wait out side the relief society room for my wife, and as the doors opened and the ladies exit to palpably sense the difference with my spiritual meter jumping in activity because of what I felt and sensed... We would all do well to better remember “where love is, there God is also”. Regarding finding a desired for partner I like the the clear lesson spoken through this message from the Lord;

40 ​For ​​​intelligence​ cleaveth unto intelligence; ​​​wisdom​ receiveth wisdom; ​​​truth​ embraceth truth; ​​​virtue​ loveth virtue; ​​​light​ cleaveth unto light; ​​​mercy​ hath ​​​compassion​ on mercy and claimeth her own; ​​​justice​ continueth its course and ​​claimeth its own; judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne and governeth and executeth all things.
🤟🏻🙌

Yeah I will dont' worry. :) I'm surprised that my reaction to the decrease was so bad, meds def make you a little loopy when you taper off of them, because the body is getting used to less. But so far I'm doing ok today. I'll still talk to my doc :)
