My cat.

Hey Caden and Joe!

Thank you so much for your replies and your support! I truely appreciate it!

And yes Caden, this too shall pass and time heals all wounds. Thank you for reminding me. BTW, George sounds awesome!

Joe, you are right, living with the ghost is easier then saying goodbye and yet I know it is important for me to say goodbye. I know I can move on without forgetting. As you pointed it out, it is tough to do though. Ans yes, I am keeping at it!

Oscar was a happy cat, I can learn from that!

Hey Breanne and Joe!

Thanks for the replies!

Yeah, I am pretty happy with myself. I am anxious and easily overwhelmed lately but considering everything going on in my life I think I am dealing really well! I have been anxious but not having attacks and oddly enough am ok with thepossibility that I might have some attacks! Now that is progress for me! I don't forsee any though cause I think I am dealing well all things considered! So I guess that is a pretty nice silver lining in all of this!

Hey guys,

I went to see my doctor. She seems worried that I am not really pulling through this "burn-out" or whatever you wanna call it. She has prescribed an anti-depressant. I asked for how long. she admitted to me she thinks I might need it long-term, as in forever. Now this idea revolts me! It makes me angry. I am working so hard to get better on my own! And on top of it, I have gotten better over the years. Even now, in this slump, my life is way better then it was once. It is one thing for me to take meds temporarily to help myself but a whole other one to take them for life! I told my doc this.

So she said ok let's just take them for a little bit then to help get you back on your feet. So I took the prescription. I was crying the whole way back in the car. This depresses me. This makes me feel defeated and like a failure. I worked so hard to get off the meds and now I am back on! I hate this. Plus, I haven't ever really found any meds that really worked well for me anyway! So many side effects, bleh! I could cry right now.

So now I have these new pills and I have no idea what to do with them. Chuck them or take them.... On top of it, with all the bad reactions and allergic reactions I have had in the past, taking new meds is an ordeal for me at best. I get so scared! Bleh!

Today is a bad day.

On top of it, I have leanred from my pharmacist that this molecule is close enough to one of the meds I have had an allergic reaction to that I need to be on allergy watch everytime I take it for 2-3 days! Now I am terrified to take it! But I have few options...

This is a bad day.

First time challenging your thoughts...

Yeah, at first I kept the ten questions, a pen and paper handy at all times to help me challenge my thoughts on paper on the spot. Now I just do it in my head! You are doing great Zoe, keep it up!

Hey Joe,

Yes I have come a long way and thank you for reminding me. On a day like today I needed that! And boy do I ever long the way you describe things. I keep wondering where you get images likes that, totems and high winds. Very poetic, I like it! And yes, I do want to get better and you are right, whether I take meds or not I will get to where I want to go as long as I keep on keeping on! And you are right, I am the one who decides the direction I want my life to go and nobody can take that away from me!

As for fear of allergic reactions, I just don't have many options in the newer anti-depressant categories and the older ones give so many side effects...Anyway, I am scared, scared of a bad reaction. This is all very difficult for me and it means this is a tough day.

Afraid to write it down

Hello Denois,

Welcome to the forums! I have little advice but this one. Try challenging the thought that makes it hard to wrtie down the others. Like if the thought is: If I write my thoughts down I will make it happen. Well challenge that one first. Then once you feel that that is ot true anymore it might be easier to challenge the other one. And hey, if it helps at firt don't write the thought down, you know which one it is but do challenge it in writing. As in:

Thought: I know which one it is

Is is true? Probably not.

On 100% how much is it true? 50%

etc...

Eventually once you feel more comfortable you actually write the thought down and challenge it and when you feel more comfortable move on to other thoughts! Just an idea!

Anyway, sorry if this is not helpful! Welcome to the forums and please keep us posted on how you are doing!
