Bless your heart, Mimi.

So glad you're feeling a bit better.

I've been weaning myself off of the Clonazepam I've been on for over a year now (memory escapes me as to how long exactly). I started reducing down around mid-June. At that point I was taking two .5 mg. pills per day (one-half pill 4 times per day.) That is, perhaps, not all that much relatively speaking. But there is a risk of falls in seniors who take Clonazepam. So that's about the maximum I could take. Anyway, reducing from 4 half tabs per day down to three and then to two was no problem at all. But about a week ago I went from 2 half tabs per day to one and that's turning out to be tough... dizziness, nervous tension, difficulty sleeping. So I think I'll be holding at one-half tab per day for a while now. But I need to get off of the medication because, as we're aging, it's becoming increasingly difficult to make the drive down into the city every three months as my pdoc requires. And with winter approaching sooner than most of us would prefer to see it come, I suspect, I need to get out from under the need to make that drive.

I've been having a hard time with sadness today. I'm trying everything I can think of. I guess it's just one of those times when all I can do is wait it out. I'll feel better later.

Hugs dear Breaking Dawn. Hope you feel better soon.

A regret: With my MI I will never be able to take the responsibilities of a relationship and have children of my own. My cats are all I have and I love them like my own children.

The kittens are adorable!

And I also will not be able to have human children.

Thank you, Mimi, for sharing your kitties. So often my cell phone doesn't let me see things, but I was able to watch your kitties playing for quite a while. It was really nice.

Oh, your orange tabby Leo is so sweet, the way he softly paws at your camera or cell phone.

Thank you, Mimi!

You are welcome Breaking Dawn. Today I feel very sad and lonely and worthless. Don't know when " this too shall pass".
How are you today?

Breaking Dawn · Aug 20, 2022 at 05:15 AM

I'm very tired. I don't ever get enough sleep. Aso sad & disappointed in myself. I'll be hoping & wishing for us both to feel better soon, Mimi.

Feeling very sick today, very weak and faint and feel like I'm going to collapse any moment. The oxygen level in my brain must have dropped again.
I feel very sad and lonely too and anxious about the future.
God help me.

downandlonely · Aug 27, 2022 at 07:55 AM

Not too bad today. Sleeping better without caffeine.

Breaking Dawn · Aug 27, 2022 at 11:57 AM

Trying my very best right now.

MimiBhaduri0 · Aug 28, 2022 at 04:23 AM

Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never be mine...Lord help me today, show me the way...give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do....

You ok? What's going on?

I'm physically very sick down. Feeling dizzy, lightheaded and exhausted all the time. Plus strong nausea. The doctors suspect that the oxygen level in my brain is going down, not as much to cause death or coma, but enough to make me feel horribly sick.
Feeling physically sick all the time is taking a toll on my mental health as well. I feel I can't go on any more.

Possible trigger:

I wish I were dead.

Sorry for the negative thoughts, hope I'm not triggering you.
Stay well.
