So, it's best to keep your tolerance down.

Yes, I have a pill cutter. I don't get why she prescribed so much of it. It doesn't make sense. I was only taking 1 mg of Xanax XR before and the aim was to reduce that. By going onto Klonopin and reducing that gradually. I guess she doesn't get that I don't wanna be on Klonopin. I mean it does cut down the anxiety but I don't like being on it. I'd rather manage the anxiety with other means.

Anyway, I decided to cut the pill into quarters and take only one quarter per day. (That is for now). I'd like to be off of it completely though.

How is trying to change your sleep schedule going? When I was staying up all night and sleeping most of the day I felt incredibly depressed. I have no doubts that it affects mood.

I got my tax refund pretty quickly but I filed as soon as I got my w2 in mid January. It was only $51 return though which I don't really understand bc I'm working more than ever

Yay I finished question 2 of my assignment! Question three is a doozy though and I think I need more caffeine to focus and I'm all out of energy drinks.

Yea I filed before they even were accepting tax files. I’m a part of a fb, Reddit, and Twitter group that is like thousands of people who are having same issues as me and filed early.

My sleep schedule is not changing yet despite taking my meds at night the past few days. Today is the first day I feel really depressed in a bit. But I think it’s cuz I’m lonely cuz fiancι was supposed to be off today. In the middle of the night it is kinda depressing but it’s not horrible.

I am starting to feel the impact of the loneliness tho.

I need to meditate but the Klonopin is affecting me a lot so I don't know if I can. I hate Klonopin. I am going to try to get off of it ASAP. (Caveat: of course, I will go slowly).

I don't know - but is some people's anxiety so bad that they just need Klonopin? I think mine is that way. But I have this kind of dichotomy where I think either I need Klonopin or I don't.

I guess it's probably better not to rely on benzos.

My vitamin C tablets will be here today! I'll start taking those again. Stay healthy. Try to, at least. I haven't gotten sick with colds or flu or anything in over an entire year so that's good. Last time I was sick was 14 months ago.

I woke up early today and washed my face. Took my meds, brushed my teeth. I'm making dinner tonight, chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.

Oh and I vacuumed my apartment

I would have dissociative episodes that my doctor basically called panic attacks, but he is hesitant to prescribe typical anti-anxiety medicine and opted to give me a SSRI instead.

Now apparently I can't be on SSRIs at all, since it helped me go into mania just this last time, so if I get dissociative again I might ask afor something.

Yeah sometimes I am all for taking benzos but other times I'm like, "eh..." I don't know. It's a difficult question.

MY GOD I'VE DONE IT!

Well, I'm like 3/4 the way finished my assignment. I have to figure out how to display some information about my program, but I should be able to figure that out today. The hard part I got done thanks to lots of googling and tinkering with my code.
