ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY
checkin in again

checkin in again

Hey peeps! How are all my friends? I haven't been around much.I'm finally getting out of the house more.i haven't even wanted to in so so long with the depression and anxiety.it takes all desire out of ya.ya know?I went yard sailing.which is one of my favorite things to do.one man's trash another man's treasure.i even scored a i pod nano for 25 bucks and my wife got some cool stuff also.went to the river and hung out for a while and came home.it's so hot here it takes the fun out of it.
  I hope every one is recovering.it is sooooooooooo hard but i can finally see a change in me w/o pills and alcohol and i like what i am seeing.it is better.slowly but surely.more slowly though.
  I'm about 3 weeks c/t with 2 slips.20 mg hydro each time.i think the slips actually make you stronger.it did me for some reason.kinda an eye opener during recovery.ya know?
  Is any one dealing with anxiety after a few weeks of being clean?and depression?if so i would like to know if you have got any meds and what kind.I can't take ssri's but the benzo's seem to do me some good.I see a psycologist next week.do i dare say i took some benzos.i'm scared he will think i'm drug seeking. TTFN God Bless.

It's good you're getting out. That's one of the best things you can do for depression. I don't know how I'm going to get through another cold winter. I am on and antidepressant and xanax for anxiety, but I have been on them for years and they seem to work for me. a psychologist can't write scripts but a psychiatrist can.
It looks like you're going in the right direction and I hope for you and your family that you can avoid slipping again. I don't think you'll do it again.
Take Care.....LS

yes.. tell you psychologist doll.  first off, he/she won't judge you - they've heard it all...

as well, the more information they have about you - the whole truth - the more you will get out of it/the more they can truly help you.

no go get' em, tiger!
