Away

I'm sorry I've been gone. I haven't felt like being on the computer and I just want to sleep all day. Plus the car is broken (hopefully fixed tomorrow) and Geo and I have to take the bus everywhere and it just drains me.I haven't been volunteering, I just sleep all day and night. Last week I started falling asleep easier and didn't take any sleeping pills (I normally take 150 mg Trazadone and 2 mg Klonopin) and ended up in Klonopin withdrawal. That wore me out even more. I started taking it again and I feel much better. I don't know if I had given up hope... Maybe I did. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to go anywhere... just sleep. I can't say I'm better now. I can't even say I'm ready to fight. I just need to get myself together and reach out for help. 


 I'm getting ready emotionally for Geo to be gone for 11 days and it's hard. I'm going to miss him, and my therapist and I are working together to get me through it. My boss says I can come in anytime and spend as much time as I want there (she's so nice to me... I haven't been there in 2 weeks and she hasn't said anything bad about it. It's volunteer, not real work, but I try to stick to a schedule). I don't think I'm stable enough to lead the voter registration thing, but I'm going to try to. I need to make a schedule so I don't get too depressed. My biggest fear is being hospitalized. I'm trying to build a support system with friends... I met a new friend on the bus- We talked one day for a while, then a couple days later I ran into her again and we got off at the same stop and started talking again. She said that sometimes there's a reason that people meet and asked for my phone number. I'm going to call her in a bit, once I'm done with the computer. Maybe that's the good side of the car being broken.

Im sorry you have been down lately and struggling.... i have too... its no fun. This is my first time back on DS and wowwww has it all changed and i cant even find my way around the site anymore. Seems very disorganized! Not sure if i got the focus to figure it all out. Way more difficult to see what friends and just people in general are posting :( Sad that they changed it to be so different when the old way was very user friendly :(

Hon, you are being too hard on yourself. You have to start looking after no. 1 and that is you. You will be fine on your own. I know it is hard, but take it one day at a time. Hugs from Canada

hi there, i havent posted or written either just started getting back to see a journal, it is difficult. i am so sorry you have been so down, and more sorry i havent been there for you. i think i have been even more withdrawing from everyone then usual, but that is no excuse. i am glad you are back to the klonopin, one must be very careful about just stopping that. it will be hard for you without geo but i have faith that you will do alright. so glad you found a new friend on the bus. hugsss

Good to hear from you! I'm sorry that you've been having a rough time. I know it will be hard without Geo, but I'm confident you'll be OK. I'm glad that you have your boss and a new friend to get you through. If there's anything I can do, I'm here too. Hugs!
