  • Its getting warmer folks

    Its getting warmer folks and you know what that means....motivation! over winter when anxieties are high and seratonin levels low i get back on increasing doses of sleeping and anti anxiety medications. If you don't know what those types of medications are called...they are called Benzodiazapins....basically they are muscle relaxants. The negative side to my disorder is that I have to be on them to control my anxiety and the longer I am on these the higher my tolorence gets and the higher the dosage gets ect... I am up to 2 mg of klonipin or 2 mg of xanax a night to sleep. which is not good because those pills are to be used soley in the case of a severe anxiety attack but with my anxiety at a constant high state over the winter my doc perscribes them for sleep. The challange now is to wean down....The problem is that withdrawl is dangerous so it has to be done very slowly. Im happy to start getting back to my normal spring and summer dosages but nervous because i know the withdrawl is hard....which is one of the reasons i am STARTING TO RUN AGAIN!!! yayayayayay! i stop over the winter (though i prob shouldn't) because I DETEST TREDMILLS, so as it warms i will be getting back to my distance running. Im excited. this past summer when I did the marathon training I felt wonderfull and I was incredibly healthy so Im looking forward to getting back into it all. the diet, the soar muscles, the good sleep...everthing. :)

  • im trying

    Its hard when I feel it all coming back.... the feeling of hopelessness is parylizing. At least now I have the tools to deal with it...which, if im not using therapy talk, just ride the goddamn wave and hold on to daylight. I am encouraged that this time I was able to catch it before the self harm started again. Its always a red flag when i stop leaving my apartment, popping pills, and sleeping all day. I wasn't sleeping well at all. The night terrors were relentless for the past 3 weeks. I am blessed to have a wonderful doctor who called me right back during his off hours late in the night and called me in a new medication to try. I went to the 24 hour cvs and the past two nights have been much better. 

    Im trying really hard to start a good schedule. today I got up at 9 and ate...and took soph for a nice walk. being outside is important for my mood. as is eating. when i get low i loose my apatite quickly but not giving my body energy fuels my laying in bed all day. came back, showered, gave soph a shower lol, and cleaned the place really good...it had been neglected for a couple of weeks. I don't want to...not at all..but im making myself go to large group tonight. Ill feel better if I do something with the night instead of staying in and letting my mind wander. I also got some vitamins my doctor reccomended to naturally boost energy in the morning. seems to be working. Im giving myself some free time until my hair cut at 4 30. might go to the gym... actually  yeah I think I will. but god i don't want to . ugh. its the fight. but I

    ALWAYS
