i did give him space... i hadn't really talked to him much at all (well, attempted to talk to him) in a few weeks. it seems like the more i try, the more likely he is to respond. i even feel better if he says something mean because at least he's talking to me then and that has always been a step forward. i am making a new appointment this week for new anxiety meds and insomnia meds. i wish they'd just give me ativan and a sleeping pill :-/ and i guess yeah i will see a counselor too. i had an appointment to see one but i got too anxious at the idea because the meds they gave me didn't work so i didn't go to it and i never rescheduled with the doctor or counselor.
