OK today was one of the strangest...I am losing it..but hopefuly I'll find it later..
Whiskey..Yeh my 3rd drink in 3 years..but I aint getting drunk infact I'm functioning quite well..maybe it'll hit me like a cannon ball OWTCH..
Hows my spelling?
It's self injury my body today is a trash can I would like oblivion my meds don't work just sedate..I cried at the local council after I got into dispute no one took notice..but apparently the landlady from hell can't throw me out in 2 weeks.
Meds or booze? Tough one , I certainly type faster on booze I cope better..short life whatever I choose..
I will decide if I get a DEMON of a hangoverexcuse the ramble..trying to unravel the mess of today.......

I do the same thing, and unfortunately have almost died twice from the med/alcohol combo. So because there are people in this world who love me or care about me- I will not mix that anymore. I'm answering you because I care what happens to you- so please call your therapist or psychiatrist or someone who can help you through this crisis. Take care and please post back- judy

Ramble away dear dreamer. It does help sometimes. And Judy is right. Time to give your therapist or pdoc a call. (If I'm remembering correctly, he's an attractive one isn't he? Double bonus reason to call.)
Does that mean you're safe, accomodations speaking, for a while longer? Landlady can't throw you out? I am glad to hear that. Now we just have to patch up that fan in your computer so you can keep the lines open to us.
Stay well dreamer.

Hi Judy...You are old timer??
Anyway thanks for concern...I've stopped my medication before I drank...stupid I know..but the neurotin wasn't helping at all and the effexor well I can resume that after tommorrow if need be...my body couldn't handle both meds and alcohol: )
Someone just called and told me to go into hospital..erm not that easy and well I'm OK for now..had some sleep..drinking again because it's there..I'll see what tomorrow brings..x

Hi Dinah..No dear my pdoc is not attractive lol..he looks like the Dali Llama (sp?) but not so wise : )
I'm confused about things --too messy , I crumble so I'll just try and wait a little longer.
I want to get out of this place anyway..but remaining rational before I do is hard.
I don't want to take up drinking again..I'm trying to forgive myself..I'm not properly medicated not enough milligrammes or wrong med: )
Anyway least I'm not thinking there's a giant conspiracy like earlier today..oh boy..x

I understand all too well, dreamer. Don't be too unforgiving towards yourself. It's been a rough time for you.
Well, now we see the source of the problem. You need to find yourself a drop dead gorgeous pdoc. That will encourage you to call when you need help, and bring you a bit of cheer besides. Your health system needs to build these special needs into pdoc selection.
But perhaps you could call him anyway, and just pretend he's gorgeous. Those meds need some tweaking if they aren't working for you.
Take care of yourself, dreamer. We need you around here to charm us and disarm us.

Hi Judy...You are old timer??
Hi and yes, 2+ years. I'm glad you stopped the meds and are just using alcohol (self-medicating). Neurontin did absolutely nothing for me. Do you have a therapist? Sometimes when I get disgusted with drugs, I really lean on therapy. I'm glad you sound a little better. Take care, judy

Hi Judy..I'm afraid therapy in UK ain't easy..the whole heath system here is in a mess...Anyway I feel almost normal..this usually lasts 3 days..but I don't think my body could take another alcoholic beating..
