Ugh.. lonely pt. 2

[Callie67]

Today’s already been a high anxiety day for me bc I’m in the middle of another Ativan cut. My husband and I were finalizing our wedding pictures about an hour ago when he got an emergency call for work and had to leave. It was nice bonding and having that distraction but as soon as he left my anxiety and loneliness hit like a truck.

I know I’ll be ok, it’s just hard. Not sure how long he’ll be gone. Times like this I miss not living real close to my parents anymore. Plus I don’t want to burden anyone, but sometimes I feel like I need a babysitter. And I can’t deive bc of the concussion. Could be worse, I know. I really shouldn’t complain.

Maybe a pet, emotional pets are very helpful. If you have therapist, ask for doctors note. You can have pet without any extra costs and denial letters. We got a doggy and doggy helps alot. Kitty cats are wonderful too. You are not alone, we care.

Awww thank you. 😊😊 We have a cat, thank god for her or I’d really be lonely! I wish we could have more pets (I always had a ton growing up!) but we can’t more until I start working again. I’m trying to convince my husband to get goats lol

I feel for you an Ativan cut is horrible to go through. I went through it two years ago and basically was bed ridden because I was such a mess. It does get better but it’s hard to go through

That’s awful! I think mine has been “easy” compared to other people’s but I’m definitely not looking forward to the last 2 cuts.

Hang in there....this will NOT last forever. ❤️

Thank you. 😊 I wound up organizing our wedding pictures and time flew by. Was nice to focus on something positive.

you have every right to "complain" ... your feelings are your feelings and they are valid & true.

[Callie67 in reply to explorerPHX]

You’re definitely right. I always tell people not to downplay their feelings but I’m guilty of it too!

Glad you got the pics organized. Are you two newlyweds?? I think it’s good that you’re doing the ‘cuts’ now without being on it for very long. Is your husband home yet??

We got married in Oct 2017 but have been together 14 years. Yeah I've only been on the Ativan since the end of December, so I'm hoping I have it a little easier than people who have been on it for years. He was only gone about 3 hours last night (5-8). The time went a lot faster than I was anticipating!

Puzzles are a great way to focus and get out of our brains for awhile!

[Callie67 in reply to Gilbertina]

That’s a good idea, thank you!
