It is so lonely without mini lion and I feel almost frightened to be here after everything that's happened. Anyway, fingers crossed I get a decent amount of sleep tonight. Not sure if that's gonna happen but I'm here and I'll try Good morning Nifhtjar! I hope you had good sleep. I am guessing ‘mini lion ‘ was your noisy neighbour? Is she/he gone ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doctor started me on Clonazepam again. (Rivotril). I rarely take it because it makes me sleepy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlee Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) aw ive never taken clonazepam, do you take it at night? Would it help the anxiety the following day? Lorazepam just relaxes my whole body and mind and I dont feel so anxious, I had a pretty good day today in the end, I even ate in dinner with my flatmates and chatted and I never do that. Why can this drug not be apart of my regular cocktail Edited September 5, 2021 by Charlee 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I was on it daily but my doctors have reduced my dosage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m one of those who cant I pulled away for a long time -- never came close to perfection, since cravings do transfer from one thing to the next, but they generally became less dangerous things. Until lately. This summer has been so bad that I texted a suicide hotline for the first time. They asked about self-care, and the only two things that came to mind were ones that others would consider addictive / unhealthy. They honestly felt like my least bad options, like pressure valves that prevented something worse. I'm not proud of it, it's just how things are right now.

duck Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Good morning Nightjar! It’s 3 am my time. I just clipped my toe nails. They were long. I barely have motivation to do things. I did laundry as well. I slept from 4pm to 9 pm last evening. I wish I had more energy to do things. How are you this Monday morning? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 These cold mornings are a preview of how the fall and winter will be for me now. I'm in serious trouble. Honestly I'm not even sure I'm going to be able to comb my hair today or put on my shoes and socks. I really hate life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about the motivation. It sucks.. I struggle with that in winter time especially like sober says. I haven't been too bad with motivation at the moment. The house and I are doing pretty well..... Lonely though Wish you would all come and visit already 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
