How timely. My experience is much like Cherry73's--
Did so well....not so well.
And now, for the second time in 40+years, I lost my job---terminated by voice mail---the reason, aside from I dared to question something, is unclear---well, I had a very angry 'boss' who treats people poorly---I let myself get triggered (I could feel it coming and knew I should run the other way but I had had enough...)-----Oddly calm right now, this just happened a few days ago and I am giving myself through the weekend to just be. No money set aside---just getting by right now---timing is So Bad---
I went through a brief period of time of abusing the klonopin---I think my marriage was falling apart at the time, I'll have to think about that----
Anyway---I remember that weird craving---amnesia please---but I know it is better, and easier in the long run to be Here...whatever is going on.
(not that I couldn't fall...) Do try all the non-medical interventions----it isn't easy but it is much more rewarding and helpful in other ways (she says as she considers getting up for a klonopin before that niggling sense in the gut rises into paralytic panic. Coffee first. Take care all. sorry for wandering from topic...
