In my younger days, a million years B.C., I used to have days like that. Can I just ask, have you ever tried diazepam/valium when you feel it's going to be one of those days?
I found if I took just one 5mg tablet (or even half of one) as soon as I felt the bad feeling it nipped it in the bud for the rest of the day. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the obvious solution.
I know that diazepam has been demonised to the point that most medics are too scared to prescribe it but taken only occasionally when needed it can be very useful.
I use cannabis in same regard. But it is still illegal where I live. The pharmaceutical overlords have complete control of our politicians. If I could grow my own benzos they would be illegal too.
Good for you, PittieDad, for recognizing it is temporary and will pass. That is the hardest thing for me to see when I'm in my dark abyss. Hold on to the knowledge it will pass.

Everybody has their limits, Pittiedad9. Yours are just further out there than most, and you get pushed to them more often.
Oh how well I know this feeling, Pittiedad9. The despair is real, the numbness and emptiness are real, but, like you so eloquently stated, it is "all part of the great balance."
Yes, indeed, do stay afloat 🌈 this is where your power is.
I don’t know what to say friend, u seem like you are having a rough time. I’m sorry for that
I’ll be thinking about you today so know that at the very least you are not alone!
Lessthanone I share similar frustrations in a different financial spot. I have a good job, a great supportive wife with a good job, yet over years of meds and professional help, I found that cannabis is the only chemical help that gives me relief. I’ve been waiting years for it to become legal. I can get A monthly supply of pharmaceuticals for like 8$ on my insurance...yet I have to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for the thing I actually desire with little side effects.
Trapped is a good word
Hi, how have you been??? I deleted some of my offensive posts, someone on here was making me angry, but it doesn't do good to stay angry, sometimes you have to let things go. I feel trapped myself!!!! My parents are probably ready to tell me to go to an abandoned women's shelter or something.
