A Klonopin can help as well if it's too much. You've got this. You're very strong even though it doesn't feel like it when you're panicking. Things will get better.

Thank you so much Desoxyn, I think lack of sleep is definitely contributing to it. I only slept 4 hours last night. I have an ice pack in my freezer I forgot about, that usually helps me a lot. I’m feeling a little better now, I’m just reading. I’m gonna go to bed early tonight after I take my night meds then sleep a long time

I'm worried about my moms heart condition - She says that the heat wave is giving her heart palpitations + She's taking on waaay too much stuff and she's stressed out. I never seen anyone in the world that can multitask so many things. I'm grateful that she survived cancer for now. She needs help from my dad because he has money - So I have responsibilities to be well and try and be independent. I still have to get a drivers license. My grandmother (My dads mom) might need to go to the ER so my mom might help to organize for her to go to a lodge (My mom used to work at a lodge) or something even though my mom said that she was the cause of my parents' divorce because she's being mature about it. My dads mental health is deteriorating badly. My mom might have to eventually take care of my other grandmother (Her mom). It's not good.

I really would like to get off of Klonopin. I'm only taking 0.75 mg now.

I think it would be motivating that once you're off of it, you can take it PRN 1-2 a week whenever your worst/most anxious time feels like.

Your psychiatrist/doctor should find a good way to taper - Extremely slow taper + a PRN dose.. Take 0.75mg Monday, 0.5mg Tuesday, 0.75mg Wednesday, 0.5mg Thursday, etc.. Do that for 2 weeks.. Then 0.5mg every day.. Then alternate 0.5mg/0.25mg..

I will be your psychiatrist o.- No jk I know nothing of medical stuff... But your prescriber should know - Trust him/her + I'm not sure if long term benzos help with baseline anxiety like long term stimulants help with baseline ADHD.. Idk..

But I hope you feel better!

Thanks. I have realized I cannot get off of it. At least for the time being. I mean it helps me a lot. I realized this.

I’m literally so overwhelmed by everything like everything and I mean everything

WastingAsparagus · Jul 19, 2021 at 09:18 AM

Can't really remember what I set out to do this morning. Oh well.

newtus · Jul 19, 2021 at 09:43 AM

I have a literally got so much to do, and I don’t know where to start, but I did start some things like calling my doctor about pills versus injections, called to get an eye exam, call to get a dental appointment, that’s it for that.

I need to run down the analytics of my business, and I need to do a whole bunch of stuff on social media today, and I need to write today.

*sigh*

And I need to work on paying off my debt like starting now which I put like two dollars towards my debt which means nothing but oh well that’s what I have.

And I need to get blood work done for my doctor.

And my mom wants to talk to me about taking over the family business just in case something happens to her.

I need a circle around and check back on my dad today before he goes to work.

I feel extremely overwhelmed and I feel so rundown mentally that I feel rundown physically too.

It doesn’t all have to happen today.

Done work for the week ^-; I have 3 days off.

Pretty picture of the butterfly and flower SP. This was from a few pages ago. I'm just getting caught up. I liked the picture a lot. I think I'm more left brained because I tend to be analytical. What do you think SP? I saw you were analyzing people!

SlumberKitty · Jul 19, 2021 at 01:54 PM

I have therapy tonight. I am out of practice. It's been 7 weeks. So much has happened. And plus I'm taking a trip to my sister's this week/weekend so that's anxiety provoking. I'm glad I got a motel room so I could go off by myself if I want to and not be stuck at her friend's place. I don't really know what to talk about with my T. I'm so out of practice. I don't really remember what he looks like, If someone asked, I'd say bland. But that's about it. Like his shirts aren't crisp white. Kind of dingy white. It's okay. It's just bland. He's not a sharp dresser. I remember his voice is pretty relaxing. Like I could probably fall asleep listening to him. I don't know what to talk about. I'm getting really nervous about my session.

SlumberKitty · Jul 19, 2021 at 01:56 PM

New cat Helen is doing great. She plays rough though. My hands are all bitten up and scratched up from where she has "gotten" me. I think she has settled in. Amelia is still scared of Helen. So we don't see much of Amelia anymore. It's really sad. I keep praying that she will come back and be my kitty cat like she was when we had Esther. I got Amelia a GPS collar and she goes all over the place. Even into our neighbor's houses! I haven't been in our neighbor's houses but my cat has been! She crosses the street so many times. It's scary.

Yeah. I bet that feels good. I have a short week this week. I work Monday through Wednesday and then I'm off for four days. I'll be at my sister's though and then in Monterrey at the Aquarium.
