Anyone here right now

[Needtovent]

I’m having a rough night, and anxiety is snowballing. I’m going to take a lorazepam right now but every time I do, I worry about ‘using’ - note my current bott of 30 pills is over a year old. So even that’s not a real worry. I’ve emailed my doc to refill, as to renew script for mirtazapine - that’s been over 2 years.

I hate how my body reacts to certain stressors. I’m crying! Need help!

I'm here

Thank you. Just need to know I’m not alone. Ativan made me sleepy. Then like a bolt, I wake up

Just jolted awake after a 10 minute nap. Gotta get up for work in 2 hours. I’m sad and anxious. Need to stop the spiraling

[Dolphin14 in reply to Needtovent]

I read your profile. Did you have things under control and it just started up again?

[Needtovent in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes exactly. A new stressful situation has presented. And this is how my body reacts. The fact that I’m teary and can barely eat makes me feel like the depression is creeping back. Mirtazapine really helped last time.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Needtovent]

That's what it sounds like. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way.

Can you reach your Dr today?

[Needtovent in reply to Dolphin14]

Probably not till Monday. She’s been pretty good with refills since it is so sporadic. I’ve left a note via my in line portal and will call on Monday. We’re supposed to go on a little vacation on 27th. I want to go, but am worrying about I’m leaving behind (the situation I referred to). What will be when I return, AND my husband who has a hard time watching me fall apart. RUMINATING

You are going through so much. I hope you can get yourself in a spot to be able to get away.

It is hard on the people who are watching us go through this. I understand completely.

Will work distract you? Do you feel well enough to go?

[Needtovent in reply to Dolphin14]

Thank you so much for talking. Yes work or anything to keep my busy helps. Games on my phone.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Needtovent]

Ok great keep your mind busy. I'm here to talk any time

[Dolphin14 in reply to Dolphin14]

How are you feeling?

[Needtovent in reply to Dolphin14]

Thank you for checking. Just wrote a new post. This morning is rough. It means so much just to know I can write my fee there!

[Dolphin14 in reply to Needtovent]

I saw the new post after I checked in here.

I'm sorry your morning isn't going well

[Bill181]

I dnt take medication but maybe I should

[Needtovent in reply to Bill181]

Depends on your symptoms and needs. Are you in with an MD or therapist? Gotta start there.

[Bill181 in reply to Needtovent]

All I did one day was got counseling and at the end she said I dnt know what to tell u so I stopped trying to get help

[Needtovent]

I’m sorry for that experience. If it helps, I’ve had really good, just ok, and lousy therapists. I’ve just reached out to my last provider as it’s been 3 years. Hoping to resume because she is good and it helps. Point: if you really want to try and feel better, you may want to try with someone new. Peace
