I feel like my thoughts are trying to kill me. I need to practice my coping skills. I kind of miss drinking when I feel like this, but that’s not going to work anyway. I didn’t quit drinking because everything was going great. Alcohol turned me into a person whose life revolved around getting drunk. Even work was just a means to get money so I could buy more booze , and to have a place to drink it in. I just wanted to get off the perpetual roller coaster for a while.
Frustrated.
I use the medication Mounjaro (in the Ozempic class) and haven't been able to get it in 6 weeks!
So I tried my insurance's mail order pharmacy, I just called and they said it was filled and on the way, BUT I looked at the status on my patient portal and it says waiting for prescriber info.
Grr

Thank you @AvidFan and @Lane The message in the words help. Hugs always help. Hugs back.
I am grateful for SF. I have been painting more productively. I have to ground myself soon or risk letting this progress slip sideways and away. Why I have such a very strange life I dunno. Can a person be addicted to risk. Rhetorical question.

Big pharma sucks
They give you something that helps greatly, then take it away.
Although I know that the medicine I need is being abused as a weight loss drug and not as a diabetes medicine as was originally intended.
I need it for both. I am now depressed about it all and gaining weight (some of it is fluid retention, don't know why that is happening so badly).
Insomnia also sucks and I've tried so many sleep aids. I go to the pdoc again next Wednesday to see what we might try again.

I'm OK. Got a lot of FOMO today as I needed to check something on my remote job dashboard and noticed there are not one but two of my favourite high paying projects available. But I'm mentally done and it's Sunday. I need to rest and devote my energy to my main job as I have this managerial earthquake to deal with. It was hard but I just logged off. There will be other projects on other days. Can't do them all. I've slept Ok for a couple of nights and am going around to see my sister and niece today. The break will do me good.
Feeling worried because I finally got in touch with my niece, age 40. She will be homeless soon and coming to stay with me on Tuesday, on my couch. The thing is that she is in a fragile state of mind where she has trouble bathing, eating and drinks. I'm just scared a) that I won't know how well to take care of her and b) it's tight quarters, I don't know how long she's gonna stay.
