Do you know any relaxation exercises you can use instead of using a med in front of challengers? I find relaxation exercises very important in my life. Had to work with them for some months before they sat. May be you can try to make a list of what is normal in your life and repeat and repeat that for yourself until it sits.
By the way: It is OK to feel exhausted after being out for a friend chat.
Be kind to yourself today! |
Thank you, GoGo.
Relaxation exercises are a great idea. Despite all my years of learning them I usually forget them the moment I'm under stress. The exception is breathing. Nice, full, healthy breathing is so important and I almost always remember that.
I had taken the Seroquel the night before my lunch date because I wanted to sleep well. The problem was that I was left with that "drugged" feeling.
You're correct - it is okay to be tired after being out with a friend. I tend to be hard on myself and forget things like what's normal and what is not normal.
I'm sorry your friends are dead now. Losing life-long friends is very harsh. One of mine died last year and I still grieve that loss. She was so dear to me.
