Have/had plans to go and do proper socialising tonight with mostly people I haven't met before and **** im so scared. dont really want to go because am still so ttriggered and is not fair for me to inflict myself when they just want to enjoy themselves and dont want people seeing me like especially given im just a stranger. but then my friend who asked me i used to be really close with and i dont want to let her down (again) and know she will take me not coming badly even though it would be best for everyone. am really pissed off with stupid people from yesterday cos if they had jsut not done triggering thing then maybe id be ok and i was sort of looking forward to going and stupid ****ing body for being ridiculous and not getting the hell over it already. kinda just want to trigger myself into bad flasback just to have it done with cos have just been getting tactiles forever and am so tired and painy and its really not ok.
this is kind of precisly why i should never try and and actually live because it does not work out at all.
:frown: good cry

Go to hockey! Thousands of kids are just there, because their moms sent them there. Yeah, okay, maybe not helpful, but just to encourage you. Force you to think of the feeling and just go. (Do you really only get therapy every couple of weeks? That sounds a bit rare for me to expect a significant prospect? But I am not a health professional, so ... )

Maybe you are not that strong now, but you'll get.

Are you able to help out at home? That is already a big help.

It is okay, that it is hard for you and your wife. She probably feels as helpless as you. And from my experience most people are not able to understand what that takes or gives to someone. But just because she is a bit annoyed you should not retreat.


Not decided about hockey yet, I wanna go, I really really do but I'm so scared :colondollar:

Yeah therapy every couple of weeks, I could probably ask to see him more frequently but I prefer it this way - I normally run out of examples pretty quick so weekly or more would be even worse :tongue:

And yeah, I do all the cleaning and cooking at home so my wife can concentrate on her work, but it doesn't feel like I'm really helping all that much, especially given how much I cost her. :frown:

Thank you! It's nice to meet you.

Has anyone had experiences with tight-fisted, medication-shy GPs? My GP has been prescribing me diazepam for my anxiety, and it's been working a treat. It makes me feel human, something so, so elusive. It makes me functional enough to attend school. However, the latest scrip is of ten 2mg pills to last me two weeks.

Considering I took 10mg last night alone, I don't think this is going to work out... Haha. What can I do to obtain more? Or perhaps I need a higher potency benzo?


Hi. :hi: Hehe, I really like your name! :biggrin:

I know you don't want to hear this but your GP is probably doing it for your own good, benzo addiction is not nice - some say it's worse than heroin addiction. The GP is probably also watching his own back too. If you need so many diazepam have you tried asking your psychiatrist for them? Psychiatrists tend to be more understanding in my experience.
Just cried because i messed up the duvet and my boyfriend got angry :facepalm:

Hormones and feels are all over the shop i think :frown:

Sliding downhill fast and don't know what to do about it. :cry2:
One of the days I think I will never get longterm enployment due to my character. :'( (And not that is sadly not just a mental thing. :frown: )
So I reduced the haloperidol by 1/3, I think I'm entering shark-infested waters. A the gym the girl next to me kept laughing at how fat I am or at least that's what I heard so I came home and the walls are taunting me louder than in weeks. Not sure what to do...need to get off this drug but at what cost??

Thank you! I know that benzos can be super addictive... It's just a pity that there are no other efficacious anxiolytics. ;; I'll pester my psychiatrist when I next see him, but that won't be until the 1st October, by which point my current benzo stash will certainly have run out. Ah, well...

I'm really, really tired, and, er... Craving benzos! :tongue: aaah, that beautiful ataraxis... ^^

Eeeek. That sounds like a real fast taper. You should probably be reducing by a bit less than a third - when I came off olanzapine, I reduced by around a fifth per week. Be careful.

Is there any way you could call your psychiatrist and ask? However, unless you're actively trying to sound like an addict that's probably not the way to go! :biggrin: Hmm, do you have any sleeping pills, recently I've been taking zolpidem when I get really anxious and it's seeming to work almost as well as diazepam....although i guess it depends how it affects you, luckily I can stay awake through it but if you're using it to cope at school maybe not :tongue:

I reduced by a sixth then a further sixth. And yeah I know I need to take it easy but I get so impatient :colondollar:

Hey everyone :smile:

Erm...well I can't remember but I don't think I've ever posted here before. I kind of just decided to - I've felt down for a long time, don't know whether you'd class it as a depression of any type - I have no idea to be honest, but in any case I know I don't feel quite right. I'm not particularly sure why either, which I guess isn't even helpful at all. I feel like I'm kind of a pointless person in some ways - well lately I feel that way. I am not really interesting, and I don't really have anything good to say ever. I'm quite boring really. I started feeling this way at the end of June, and it got better like 3 weeks ago, but it seems to have just gotten worse, and this time much worse. I just need something to feel good about, or something to make me feel more cheerful.


Hey there! :smile:

Have you thought about taking up a new hobby or something? Maybe learn a new skill such as a language in night classes perhaps? When my self-esteem was at an all time low I did a few art classes and it really made me feel better about myself. Of course this is assuming you're not depressed, if you are then seeing a doctor would be a better course of action. The problem with depression is that it doesn't matter what you do you won't be able to break out of it.
