I've had kind of a stockpile of old meds at home that didn't work. A friend just helped me get rid of them because I was afraid of what I might do with them. Should be more grateful than I am.

Hung over from a bottle of champagne and several shots of vodka last night. Not so very proud of myself right now. Don't want to work tomorrow. Don't want to get out of bed tomorrow. Don't want to clean out the trash can I puked in. Feel trapped, dead, worthless, stupid.

Trying not to, but feeling shame.

*hugs* you did something that's not easy to do

don't be ashamed. Be proud that you removed the threat. that takes so much more guts than leaving them around

congrats on getting rid of the old meds. i had mixed feelings about it when i did it a while back too. go easy on yourself the next few days... maybe just set yourself one goal at a time and work through it.
Thanks for this!

hi "tu", you did a good thing...getting rid of those meds. as for not being proud of yourself right now....by now i hope you have moved on to "today"...ya can't change the past but ya can make today better. just keep putting one foot in front of the other. you're on the right track..ya just got slightly derailed. learn from your disappointments and pretty soon you'll see a history of successes.

Goal: get through this evening without needing to go to the E.R.

Simple enough?

ummm...as far as moving on to today, today sucks. but good advice about putting one foot in front of the other. unless i trip and fall over the one in front.

sweetie, how about...

Goal: get through this evening, looking after yourself the best way you can?

if that involves going to the ER, then that's ok. it means you aren't by yourself and struggling with something you need help with. if it means you don't need to go to ER, but have a chat to a friend or watch some tv, then that's great also. do whatever you need to do to make tonight the best it can possibly be for you. i know that, given your mood, it might not be great - but i'm interested in you minimising your distress.

i'm worried about you and want you to keep safe. please let me know if i can help somehow.

Thanks all for the kind words, really. Wouldn't have thrown out the meds if I didn't have a stubborn friend who worries. Still feeling blah...

Have to work some this evening--eats up time and may make to tired to do much when I get home. Can't go to the hospital...i'd be leaving too much work at work for others to do.

Sorry to worry you...you have helped by showing you care. I needed that. A lot.
