Xanax please?

[evningwithgrace]

I'm beginning to think that I need to start taking prescribed psychotropic drugs. My self medication is hard to come by right now and quite frankly not doing the job it once did. I can't focus on anything and all I seem to want to do is sleep. Though with last night's 6 hour blackout there really wasn't anything else I could do in my defense. I

I definitely agree with the not being friends thing. You really don't want to hear how her new relationship is going (which is all people in new relationships want to talk about), nor do you particularly feel like picking up the pieces if/when it falls apart.

She dumped you. Dump her right back. If this happens again, don't take them to the saints game/give them that present/fix their car, etc. Dumped means dumped. Exes shouldn't have it both ways.

I wouldn't have taken her if I had someone I could have called 2 hours before game time that I knew could go. As it stood, I went out on a limb to ask for an extra ticket. To not have someone use that ticket would have been bad form. The last thing I need to do is upset my GM since ultimately I want to get a new position from him when the hiring freeze is over. Not pissing off the boss seemed to be the better choice at the time.

I see now what you meant by bad form. I thought you meant toward your ex.

well that's really inconsiderate timing.

I wouldn't go running towards the meds or a shrink, but that's easy for me to say bc I don't feel like you do right now.

I'm not going to give you any cliche love advice. just be really cautious about the medical intervention thing. for the most part, it seems we have the tools to address this stuff already.

To HELL with her

you have so much to offer, if she is so oblivious to that, then you don't need her. I agree with Neil, she dumped you, dump her back..no free rides, no picking up the pieces. I do understand about the bad form, and that is totally understandable...but always know...if you have a spare Saints ticket, I can usually accommodate my schedule for that, even on a couple of hours notice:-)

As far as the depression...dealing with a parent going through that is rough, and so emotionall draining with the highs and lows, it is understandable that things would be dragging you down, and any self medication you may be taking wouldn't be up to it's normal potentcy. If things aren't working and you can't get things together...maybe some other medication or seeing someone to talk about it will help?

What a C U Next Tuesday...

My advice, if you wanna hear some more, is to find someone to talk to, and then see if you really need any meds. Sometimes all we really need is a strange ear to pour our hearts out to, someone who won't judge.

i totally agree - it can be hard to overcome that privacy barrier of spilling out to a stranger, i know, but a third party that has absolutely nothing to do with your life in any way but to be a listening ear can be a mental and emotional haven...
go talk somebodies ear off before looking into taking any extra meds...

I strongly advise going to see a doctor if you think you even _might_ need to - psychiatrist, psychologist or LCSW. Don't do what I did and wait until it gets genuinely dangerous.
