Thanks downandlonely! I am feeling a LOT better now. I have my appointment next week and while I'm not excited to go, I am ready to get it done and see where things stand so I can get on with life. I had made a promise to the universe 18-ish months ago to be there for my dogs on their final days. I just made another, that should I get out of this in reasonable shape, I'm going to get myself rolling on moving out of here and getting the dogs and me closer to my brother and his family. Then do everything required to get my life restarted. It was a good day, despite the terror bump a bit earlier. Sometimes you need something to spur you to action. I've had several somethings the last week. Maybe the universe is telling me something and I'm only now hearing it.
Thanks again! |

I was going to step back a little from posting, because I feel like I'm being too needy. But I wanted to update a little.
I had coffee with my friend this morning and they helped me start thinking a little more about... everything. One thing they did was to challenge me to go visit my brother and his family. I haven't seen my brother in 2 years and my nieces in probably 12. It's been too long. Now, I told my friend about thinking about moving closer to my brother and that the main driver of that was to give my pups and opportunity to become familiar with them, because I want them to be with my brother if something happens to me. So, the trip does have a dual or even triple purpose. For me to see my family, for my pups to get familiar with everyone and for me to see some of the area that I might move to. I still have things I need to do here but should everything work out, I'll probably be heading out there within a month. It's a long damn drive, but will be worth it because I can pass through the town I grew up in and the city I went to college in, neither of which I've seen in decades. Might be fun to reminisce. I could take a slightly different path back and stop at the city I went to grad school at (didn't graduate). We'll see, things are open. Anyway, thanks once more for listening to my ranting. I do appreciate everyone's support! |

Nurse and doctor saw right away that my anxiety was out of control. He prescribed some Prozac, something (I don't remember) to get the glutamate down and gaba up, and some kind of pain med. Said to call him in 2 weeks and he'll up the dose of the Prozac. I felt better, because it felt like he was listening and taking my mental health seriously. We talked about my other medical issue and he seemed like it wasn't a worry. Older people take longer to heal muscle tweaks.
However with all the paperwork, I now have other things to worry about and I'm almost more anxious now than when I went in. I walked the dogs but rushed them to get home and snapped at them a couple of times. I hate what this is doing to me. Sorry to be a bother. I hope you are all doing OK. I'm glad I went and did get some relief, I just wish I didn't have more different things to worry about. |

I really hope the Prozac helps you. It helps a lot of people.

I've used it before and it did help. Unfortunately they haven't sent them to my pharmacy so can't start today. And they're not returning calls. Frustrating. This is at least one of the problems I have with doctors. He seemed to care about me and my issues but can't be bothered to do the basics.
I don't know why I bother. My life is just too hard and I don't want to keep trying. Edit: Sent to the wrong pharmacy from the one I gave them. Fixed now and should be available in an hour. I don't know how much more of this stuff I can take. Last edited by Anonymous40506; Aug 05, 2021 at 06:56 PM.. |
