You are entirely correct; your own son deserves a healthy you.
I hope your session tomorrow is productive. Keep us posted 
Oh - and regarding the Klonopin...I do have a dependency on it. It was very useful, though, way back when. If I could do it over, I would have taken Klonopin for only a month or two until my anxiety either got better or got worse and needed a different type of med.
Personally, Seroquel never touched my anxiety. |
Thank you for your kind response! The upper staff and I are all working together to make sure we and the students are safe. I believe there will be a moment sometime possibly rather soon that there will be real danger. I am bracing myself; going over handle with care training, including how to block punches and kicks. I am not too concerned of getting seriously hurt as we have an immediate response team that can be called over the intercom. They literally run as fast as they can to the location and immediately jump in with handle with care.
I’m about to call my pdoc now to get an appointment. I am highly aggravated today because of this student. I was calm and patient all day but around 2pm I got seriously annoyed and started being rather short with him. Not mean, certainly, not yelling, just kind of cold. He swears he’s not coming in tomorrow and I just gave a thumbs up to my coworker across the room. Like don’t make promises you can’t keep
