Full of anxiety and?

I was hesitant to post...but then not wanting to,made me realize ,I probably should now more than any other time.
I am on day 16..All I can think about the nasty pills that i know are in my own home..I can't get rid of them because they are not mine. I feel like k-todd said earlier..Just want to punch something..I feel like "IT" is trying to win. I was feeling so good and the last few days..Just down,down,down. The overwhelming anxiety that comes...out of nowhere!! I mean BAMB! Your doing ok and then it hits you like a ton of bricks. i guess not wanting to post ..scared me.making me feel like I didn't want to hear it..but I do.I  am so tired of fighting with myself. I was on the phone with my good friend  confused and didn't even tell her how I was feeling. (I have since apologized to her) Why did i just do that? I have come so far..but not far enough.

Hello luv...don't be sad, be glad!

(...at least you'll get a few minutes of distraction while you try to hit me with nearby objects as I duck and hide...I hope you don't have a strong throwing arm, I'm not as fast as I used to be. :)  )

Have you taken a glance at Fladdict's journal? I'm pretty sure she's got detailed instructions on the use and doses of the Htp and "L" stuff.

Try to remember the sadness is in large part a physical reaction. It helps, a bit. If you can keep that thought in mind you can try to avoid that terrible emotional black spiraling that tends to happen when your well into the PAWS...

Looks like you two are in for a long night. It's 3 a.m. here and I am finally tired. Going to take a hot bath and go to bed and hopefully sleep soundly.

I sent both of you pm's so check 'em out when you get a chance. You were both a big help to me today. Thanks. Amy
