Accountability-post 2

Greetings all
Well, here I am now its been a week since I posted re-needing a place to be acountable as my goal is to wean myself off my meds.
So far, so good. Had a dip that was directly related to an incident and cam out of that (with some learning-I did some behavior that I didn't feel the greatest about) and For the past few days I have been feeling more positive, and better about myself.
I start a new job in a week. I will start travel nursing to various ER's. First in my state, then will visit others. I will be doing 12 hour night shifts which historically I don't cope the best with night shifts-chronic tired, *****yness etc. So I will not go down any more on my med doses until I get a few weeks under my belt and adjust. I just really want to see that I can now do all of my moods/experiences on my own without medicine. I think I am ready. I think I had a time in my life (almost a year and a half now) when I needed them, But I am no where near where I was. I am so much better now. I do have a date to start with a counsilor in June-I hope with my new schedule I can make it-the counsior was scheduling 2 months out for a new pt. I really don't want to wait until Aug.
Anyhow, I know this is somewhat of a long and boring post, but it is part of what I will do to keep accountalbe to what I am truly doing with my meds and my moods. So to all of you who might read this thanks-hope all is well with you!

Hello, noneedtoknow. Good luck with attaining your goals in a healthy, sustainable way.

Thanks for the support TheByzantine ! I'll keep posting.Hope all is well in your neck of the woods

Congratulations on the new position! Ask the provider, 1. if there is a cancellation list, so that you might be able to get in sooner, and 2. considering the circumstances once you see him/her, if they do phone sessions given your current work situation. I know when I traveled for another job, one of my providers was very accommodating this way. Take extra special care of you during this time of transition. Sending good wishes as you get established in the new position and routine.

Good luck and be good to yourself.

Sounds like you're doing well - keep letting us know!

Thanks for checking in and thanks for the"atta boy"
Hope all is well in your world.

Be careful...trying to achieve two major things at once, ie. starting a new job and getting off your meds...can create a self-sabotaging situation... it might be helpful if you had someone you trust and who would be willing to be available to somehow be easily assessible for you to have a 'quick' chat when you need to. Sounds like you're taking a big chance...hope it works for you! Perhaps its one of those times you just have to 'take a risk' to reach your goal...!?!
