Loser!

I feel like such a loser! I called off work today beause I feel like ****! First day on clonidine, I have a terrible headache and feel all flutterry inside, I seriously dreaded going to work... I have a very physical job, and not to mention the odor of all those kennels in the morning! UGH! They were understanding (of course, I didn't tell them the real reason I wasn't coming!) but still, I would hate for someone to call off on me! And my smarta** husband is sitting next to me saying "You're gonna run out of excuses!" Didn't need that! I know it sounds like I'm having a poor, poor me moment (and maybe I am) but I am still so determined to get through this!! I've been clean before, I know what awaits me on the other side of this Hell!

I agree with Outown!

Instead of feeling like a loser, you should be even more proud of yourself for fighting this tough fight and not giving up...in a few days you will look back and be so proud of yourself...also note, depression is sometime a withdrawal symptom....so, if you're feeling down, it's normal...

hang in there, keep fighting...you will make it through!

You are not a loser.....your life is what is most important right now.  You will go back to work and all will be ok in a couple of days.....ignore hubby if possible.
