There was a weird mix up, I was waiting for the social worker to come back, and he didn't as far as I know. So they left without me.

I just called him a few minutes ago, and he said he'll try to come back later, and if not, the other social worker will come tomorrow.

Sorry, I know everyone thinks I've gotten badly delusional and it would be a relief if I were wrong about things here. So if they come back I'll gladly go with them! Got a bag packed.

I hope that the hospital is able to give you a break from what's going on

Going through withdrawal from ambien. It has to be the ambien. Physically I'm a wreck. Does anyone have any experience withdrawing from Z drugs or Benzo's? Is there anything I can get that'll make it easier?

I dont get that from ambien. Even when I run out at times. I do get a lot of anxiety if i havent had my xanax though.

Not really, just tough it out. It shouldn't last more than a few days. I think technically it's more like rebound, than full-blown withdrawals since you were not actually addicted to them properly.

Well, today has been my 4th day without nicotine.

I think it's safe to say I've quit completely now.

Just have to remember not to get complacent in the future, all too easy to forget all the bad stuff & have a single puff on a cigarette.

Definitely having some rebound insomnia, afraid I'll have a seizure as i have done in the past.

I took 14 10mg ambien, 10 .25 Xanax and about 7-10 procyclidine over two days.

I could be in withdrawals from any of them?

Got in a good nap today. I feel much better than I've been feeling.

Yes! My worst fear came true. My daughter was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety. The pdoc wants her to take meds. We (hubby & I) are not sure because we think joining a soccer team will get her endorphins up hopefully improving her condition and continuing her therapy. I can't help feeling sad & quilty for her poor mental health. I wonder if she is mimicking me. It's so hard to be a great role model! I don't know how to cheer/encourage when I feel glum.

You can't blame yourself, Zeus. It's all chance. You already took her to see a doctor so you did the right thing, you're trying to do the right thing. That's all you can do. ((Zeus))

I wish I had meds that helped my social anxiety long ago-----the APs work for that in my case and now I'm 40 just starting dating etc----why not let her make the choice?

newtus · Mar 10, 2016, 04:54 PM

I decided to take Math for business and social sciences & Introduction to Ethics the next 8 weeks. I dont feel confident.

Thanks, we kinda talked for her and didn't even think of asking her what she thought. You're right, my daughter should have a say in the matter. She does for everything else. My husband convinced me on choosing no meds. I think it freaked him out.

Possible trigger:

time to cut

My brother in law basically called me lazy in terms of working out and that I'm not going to get anywhere with my hobbies because they're pointless and won't help me with school. I don't start college until this summer

Everyone has to start somewhere Bluebird and considering everything that's gone on in your life I think you're doing great....

One thing that will make it easier is Taurine (a complex amino acid).

don't blame yourself. There is nothing to feel guilty about. We do the best we can with what we have. I would be on the fence about meds too.

I hope you'll feel a lot better before you cut.

Angelique67 · Mar 10, 2016, 07:26 PM

Well, the one time I actually wanted to go in, they discharged me! Unexpected.

So, the clinician tonight wants me to get more frequent reality checks, and to go to the senior center, and call warm lines that I never knew about before. So it was good, but not the vacation from my apartment woes that I was hoping for lol.

Thanks to everyone, I was afraid you all hated me.

Thanks, just can't help feeling responsible for it. It's that notorious debate on nature vs nurture.
I will keep doing my best with what I have.

I worry about my son but I haven't brought him to a specialist, just the pedi. So you're already a few steps ahead of me.
Eta. I don't think hrs depressed but he is super moody. Pedi attributes it to hormones. I just worry
