How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Empress00]

I have to take medication for my mental health and today it has really knocked me out so feeling even more fatigued and suicidal than usual.

This gives me hope. thank you. What was it that helped him, if I can ask, please?

I do not know. It was about 30 years ago. But he went through an inpatient program in Colorado. He continues to go to AA meetings today.

Sick

I'm feeling a bunch of negative things and very tired of this. It's stupid and I need to figure it out. Yesterday.

Hope you get things figured out soon. And then when you do, you are able to take the needed actions. That can be difficult, even when you know what you want to do.

 

[SillyOldBear]

Fed up with the American medical system. It sucks and is only getting worse. Probably a plan to kill off all of us sick people.

It could only happen to me. I was right all along, I took steps to double check that I was right, I looked out for everyone, and tried to follow the rules to the letter, then tried to bring everything to the light of day - and now I'm more in trouble for not pointing out I was right than the person who actually ignored me and got it all wrong. I am in trouble for being right and trusting a colleague not to give me the wrong information. Oh just fuck 'em, fucking pricks.

Pretty stuffed right now. I gave the pizza joint one last chance as my basket was pre-filled, couldn't be bothered signing in for something else. They got my pizza here in 14 minutes - instead of the hour they took last time as they messed it up. I needed a treat, day I've had.

I am sooo tired of rain

 

[AvidFan]

So, so tired. Maybe I'll sleep tonight without a chemical sledgehammer.

 

[AvidFan]

Too tired to resist, I'm not risking poor sleep, my mind is starting to race again, and still got work issue to deal with tomorrow, as I need to hear back from other people involved in the FUBAR stuff to decide on next steps. Looks like I won't get fired but I'll have lost a lot of kudos with the upper management. Hey ho. Only about 14 years till retirement.... for now I will retire to my bed and my sleep medication.

that actually is a theory going around onlne. i'm lucky i have a good doctor and my medicare advantage plan has approved everythng so far. the biggest problem is picking the best policy possible for their needs, the system is so complicated that most lay people couldn't understand it

thank you. I have already located our local meetings.

I used to be good friends with an alcoholic who has been sober for over 30 (?) years. They said that having the AA sponsor was the most important part. I don't know if that helps.

Bergerac we sent my brother to rehab several times, at an enormous fiscal and emotional cost. The literature got our - his family - hopes up, and they were dashed when he went straight back to driinking upon his reuturn from the places. They didn't have much effect other than giving him a vacation in a pretty place. Though it is negative advice I thought I'd mention this. I hope you find what your friend needs to become sober.

So last Wednesday my bro-in-law died and I've had other shit to deal with more keeps coming and my mental and emotional surge capacity is just gone. It's all overflowing as fucking dread and anxiety.

This is awful, I'm sorry. It sounds like you're getting hit with a lot all at once.

I hope you can at least get a breather of some kind soon.

It seems like this is a general problem with for-profit institutions, and even many not-for-profit institutions. They're a business that needs to sell a product in order to either keep making money, or to keep the people running it employed. I guess ideally they'd at least keep the people in rehab safe and off of drugs/alcohol while they're in, but they also seem to have an incentive to give people excessively rosy expectations.

thanks so much for writing all of that out for me. A lot of people have said the same, actually. A.A. certainly seems like one of the best options anyone can have, in this position.
