Foxy asked how I liked the EMDR that I'm doing with my therapist on my last post. I meant to elaborate on it more, but forgot. It was a bit weird at first. But I will say, that while the headphones were on, my anxiety pretty much went away. During the second round I got extremely dizzy. I literally felt like my body was spinning to the left. So much so, that I almost had to open my eyes. Once I opened my eyes, the dizziness stayed for about a minute. I really don't know what I think about it yet, but I'm optimistic about it. I feel now that I'm no longer depressed, but I still have anxiety. The slightest thing will cause me to feel anxious. It's not fun.
We went to a family reunion this past weekend for Eric's dad's side of the family. We don't see them all that much. I hadn't met a lot of them, and the others I saw last at our wedding about six years ago. Only one person asked if we had kids. We got to spend time with Eric's parents and his brother's family. Our nephew just turned two and he's finally starting to remember us. He really likes "Uncle Ewik" and kept going back to him. Eric has a cousin who has adopted two children so we talked to her a bit and got some contacts in our area.
I am really not liking my job right now. That is what tips off my anxiety the most. I have a 45 minute drive in to work and I dread it the whole time. I have a job interview tomorrow though. I'm interviewing with three people from 8:30 to 10:30. I really really need this job. I'm not happy where I am and I'm not going anywhere. Speaking of work, I think I have carpal tunnel. My right arm has been hurting the past few days. It starts around my wrist and numbness radiates up my arm. I have a wrist brace, but it's in my desk at the office building that is closed because of the fire. I might have to just suck it up and go buy a new one. We were supposed to be back in the office today, but the building didn't pass inspection so it has been delayed. We have no idea when we'll be able to go back.

Good luck with your job interview! I hope it goes well.
Visiting from ICLW. Hope the interview goes well!
I don't have any personal experience with EMDR, but I have a friend who is a therapist who uses it personally. She swears by it. I hope your job situation improves quickly.
