Been distracting myself with music and Netflix to keep myself from stressing/ruminating on anxiety over tomorrows inspection. It will be fine. It always is. Maybe since they’re doing them more frequently from now on it will become something I just adjust to over time once it feels like a regular thing. It won’t be a looming every 6 month event anymore. Will happen every single month regularly. It will be like exposure therapy or something.

Yes, he has helped me. It's just hard when I make a reduction to stick to the reduction. That is the most difficult part because I'll feel anxious again and want to take the full dose again of Klonopin. It's almost like a loop.

Yeah it’s hard to change that. I used to be on it 2 times a day every day a long time ago, many years ago. Now it’s a prescription I only have to get refills on like once or twice a year because that’s how long a bottle of 30 pills lasts me since I rarely take it anymore. It’s just nice to have it in case of emergency but it’s something where self discipline helps a lot, it’s hard though when you have a prescription available you can take to ease the anxiety, it becomes habit. It’s weird because I have like no self discipline in many areas of my life but in this particular area I’ve been very strict with myself and now it’s easy, my automatic instinct is to not use it when anxiety and panic hits it’s to use tons of coping skills and stuff like that. I hope you’re able to come off it someday if that’s what you want, everyone is different of course Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

Yeah, the current workbook I have is like the sequel to that one, it's more about alternative therapies to anxiety, I definitely have to do both the main therapies for it and the alternative therapies for it. Sometimes I just get so bored though. I think I need a job but I don't think I can handle a job. I often see the worst in everything as well. It's hard to practice gratitude.

I feel good on the Latuda. I am really thankful for this.

I find art really helps calm me down, I drew for over an hour tonight and it really put me in like a calm meditative zone

Going to yoga class tomorrow, looking forward to it a lot, I didn't really get any physical activity in today because I waited around all day for the inspection, which didn't happen. But I'm less nervous today in general
Watched some more of the new Wednesday series on Netflix, Almost finished with the first season. Enjoying it a lot. I think Jenna Ortega is doing a great job playing Wednesday Addams Have had the Great British Baking show on a lot in the bakground today, just because it's calming __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi
