I'm trying to breathe.
This morning I took the .25mgs of klonopin I was holding on to. It helped, it really did sort of smooth things over a bit.
I came home, and I got overwhelmed....again.
By what? The bill from the IRS and the 2 errands I had to run, one was picking up effexor (since I'd otherwise be out).
I think I'm a bit depressed and trying to hang in there.
I'll try and get decent sleep and breathe.
.......geez

I know what you mean. Sometimes it seems to make no sense.
I hope you find some calm soon.

Hanging in there is something to be proud of. And keep smoothing things over when you need to.

Same thing happens to me the simpliest thing seems overwhelming and exhausts me when done although I sometimes manage to to it with my husband. Phillipa

Thanks Jane
I feel like my life is a never-ending to do list.
Just when I think I might manage something else gives, and I think really??? Really?
I mean I know things can be worse, but sh*t!
Ehhhhh.....
I'm angry and frustrated.

Yeah, I've got to say, avoidance sometimes looks pretty darn good.

I'm watching one of the damn twilight vampire movies...

Are you still trying to be med free? Maybe you're going too quickly on that. It sounds like it may be physical?

I don't feel up to tapering off meds. I'm still on everything. I am just so tired, physically, emotionally.

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to vampires.
I like them old, elegant, out of the anglosphere, desperately tired, and hungry for blood.

Any way to take a break?
I've been anxious myself lately. I probably should have started meds last week, but was trying to tough it out. The anxiety builds on itself until I just need some time to reset my nervous system.
Any way for you to safely reset?

>
> Any way for you to safely reset?I'm not sure. I'm over the wednesday hump though. I have to show up for everything I'm supposed to show up for despite the urge to run the other way. Usually I just crash on the weekend. By Sunday I feel more functional, but of course, Monday comes.
I'll try to manage the anxiety level.
Is this what life is supposed to be about?

I started to get pretty irritable. I had to keep myself from fighting with people. I have been so sensitive.
Geez, that was a rough week.
Thank goodness for my treatment peeps.
Thank goodness for down time.
Thank goodness for silly vampire movies.
Thank goodness for klonopin.

See? I thought so. Nobody thinks you are crazy. No one who knows you. Just f*ck*ng irritable.
Weird? Well, there is this consensus reality thing where anyone who speaks their mind is liable to be called crazy and weird.
