    One day on the way to work, I watched some really good stand up comedy, it actually got my mood up for hours.
     I hope everyone will have a stress free, good day today. Take care and love of yourselves and the ones around you!

    Wondering how everyone survived the holidays?

    I was doing so great that last week...cheerful and happy and so relaxed despite all the last minute stuff. Had a great Christmas Eve dinner with my family...until the grinch showed up (my mother). The visit went so well that my dumb ass went and texted her that we had such a nice time with her and Merry Christmas. And BOOM! Christmas went to shit. Time of death...9:25. 
    She texted back with a list of what's wrong with me and the same advice she gave me as a kid. If someone is being an asshole, it's always MY fault. I fucking lost it. Told her to fuck off and burn in hell for teaching me that and setting me up for a lifetime of abuse. And then I blocked her in every way possible. She is now dead to me forever. And good riddance! I coped with a bottle of Fireball. Passed out by noon on Christmas, so overall, it went well.

    Good for you. Seriously. I found that taking that step was an essential part of shedding my baggage, feeling better about myself, and making positive changes in my life. I hope you can move forward and be kind to yourself.

    Sounds like my estranged sister. My life has been better since she's gone out of my life.

    @lastexitlondon you are not alone. And your brain chemistry is just fucking with you. I know that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. It's not fair. I'm in my dark place too so I can't offer any help except to tell you that you aren't alone in this struggle.

  • Thank you both i visited my dr and he prescribed new meds which  im reluctant to try. Also said i should not stop drinking totally because i have now given up everything and its left me isolated and with no enjoyment in life. Very depressed. My official diagnosis is of severe anxiety . Depression. And obsessive behaviour. 
    Im still abstaining from alcohol for now. Its been 4.5 weeks i think

    smart move imo on abstaining from the drink. to help combat at least some of the isolation, which isnt good for you on several levels, is to at least try some aa meetings? and or seek out some other support groups that may be in your area?

    all you have lost is perhaps a bit of your time.

    Sounds like you're doing the right things, lastexit.  I'm sure it's not been easy so kudos for giving it your best.

  • Many thanks. Im now looking at this perscription wondering do i try medication again for what feels like the 100th time. And sit and wait for side effects to scare the shit out of me. Or do i sit it out for some more weeks. I wake so fuckin confused and distressed every single time i sleep. But my dt explained quite well about the brain. But i still don't believe him. ..... health anxiety hey!
