Giblets CLXXXII - Tree worship time is almost upon us

Are you on meds for your anxiety? I've got mild GAD, so I'm on Citalopram. Works wonders... only get some anxiety once in a while & when it does pop up it's very manageable now I've had some sessions with a CPN.

I think I largely avoided problems with anxiety at Uni by boshing drugs or smoking as a release... not smart since now I've got worse to deal with had I better coping mechanisms before. :\ ;)

I'm scripted loraz, but only 40/mo, so I have to supplement it. I have several CPNs and a psych.
 
I'm beginning to get a headache. I'm saving my DHC so refill date isn't a problem. I have no other pain pills. Looks like I'll have to just try to sleep. Goodnight!

Usually drugs that relax me help me study, as when I'm anxious (afraid it's my default state) it's difficult for me to concentrate, but maybe I'll stick to drugs I have a tolly to, like benzos, rather than try on drugs I'm new to, like opes.

becareful on the opies, because i wasnt. Kratom is great for anxiety you know i dont know wtf i would do with out it atm because i got no opies. You will feel a big difference on kratom in social situations, getting me through the day very nicely atm. I prefer the effect of kratom to benzo's because it gives me euphoria
 
^ You can still get WDs from Kratom, it might be the better of two evils in some ways but still. I'm sure MDB would have something to say on the matter if he appears...

Best thing for anxiety is therapy & prescription meds if needed. Self-medicating just ain't sensible long term because your problems aren't being dealt with. Are you on any prescription meds for your anxiety Kota? (meant to ask last night but forgot :p)

Pretty sure she's on lorazepam or similar, amongst other meds. I might be talking nonsense, but that's what I gathered. I don't think the opies thing is self-medication as much as experimentation, but again I may be horribly wrong.

Oh, and morning all. The weekend is indeed here. :)

Almost booked the day off, but decided not to. Then got invited for a drink and pestered about what time I can make it out for. So I have a rush to get out of work early, a frustratingly congested journey home and about five minutes in which to eat, change and make myself look delicious.

Trouble is, there's a chance I'll be in possession of hard drugs, which I'll not be able to resist having a go at. So a prima donna-esque late arrival looks to be on the cards.

It's only right after all.

Yeah fair enough. I'm on 20mg of Citalopram & getting on ok. They wanted me to be on 30/40mg but I didn't want to have that much... still getting a benefit from 20mg but plan is to come off them at some point before next Summer, which means I'll have been on them almost a year by that point. No intentions of staying on them longer than necessary.

Can certainly understand people being hesitant about them though.
 
Best way to face anxiety is to deal with it head on, i used to tremble around people. I dont these days like i said before im no where near as bad. i wouldnt be working in a customer service job if i was like that still. I would suggest anyone with anxiety to not bother with benzo's unless you were getting attacks, wont make you better just covers it up. Oh yeh and wd's send you bat shit crazy your not have any will power you will be praying to feel normal

Unfortunately, that's not a successful approach for many people. Confronting your triggers can be of some benefit, but with real, deep-seated anxiety, the 'pull yourself together' approach is a counterproductive waste of time.

Well yeah, it's best to avoid benzos if possible, but short-term / carefully supervised use of them isn't going to cause problems.

I'm happy to hear you apparently conquered your anxiety, but anybody reading your message might infer that you're suggesting anxiety is something which can be conquered through sheer willpower and determination. The truth of the matter is it isn't.

You're right. :)
 
Of course I'm right. I do read your posts. ;)

I just didn't want to sound like I felt entitled to speak on your behalf. Or come across as too much of a stalker, obviously. I hope I succeeded in the former, and probably didn't in the latter!
 
morning stalkers.

pray for rain!
also, good fortune.

is it ok to ask god for good luck?

It's fine! :) How are you this morning? I still have a cold.
 
What's fine? Stalking? :D

I'm pretty splendid today, save for the fact it's a quiet day in work - perfect duvet day material - and I still have four hours to go at least. And of course, during the last hour I'll be bombarded with work and end up having to stay late, like every Friday!

Is your cold getting any better, or is it still really miserable?

Still pretty awful. I managed to pick up some pseudo and codeine without APAP, or, rather, managed to instruct my dad to pick up, as I haven't ventured outdoors since this cold started apart from a doc appointment, so at least I'm not going to accidentally top myself. I don't know why APAP isn't illegal. Its only use is as a suicide weapon.

Well done getting hold of some pseudo. Sorry to hear it hasn't improved much yet, but that stuff can work wonders as I'm sure you know.

And yeah, paracetamol is near-enough worthless. It can be useful to augment other meds when your body temperature gets too high for comfort, as mine used to have a habit of doing.
