I'm glad you were able to reach out.
Please keep taking care of yourself...take it one hour, one minute at a time. Be gentle with yourself.
Peace to you,
SV> Long time no see. I seem to have fallen into a giant hole of despair. My meds weren't getting me through the stress and anxiety, so I started self-medicating. A week went by and I talked to my therapist. She urged me to tell my shrink. It was hard, but I did. He gave me a lecture on street drugs and bumped up the dosage of my meds. I've been sober for about 16 hours. That's where I am.
