  Thank you, MMI.  I will definitely try to rest if I can ward off the nightmares.  The more anxious I am, the worse they are sometimes.  I'll be back on the medicine tomorrow though.

  CDub, I don't know what medication you're taking, but I know when I try to mess around with when I take mine, or if I skip a day, it plays hell with my mood.  That is the only med I take that I don't mess with. 
  
  Hang in there, I know how the woes feel, and it's no fun.  Tomorrow will be brighter.

  Oh CW, sorry to hear that you're having such a rough day.  I agree with MMI in that there's nothin' at all wrong with needing a little happy pill because yup, there sure are a ton of worse things you could be doing to 'relieve' the stress.  Hope you'll be feeling back in sorts soon, but until then (((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))), here if you need me.  :-)

  There is no reason to be hard on yourself because you take something to help lift your mood.  Sure it would be great to do it all on your own, but not everyone can.  The important part is that you recognize that you can improve your outlook on life with just a little help.  Sorry you had a rough day.  They're no fun :(

  Mimi,
  Thank you.  I'm always good about taking my medicine except for today.  I thought I would save a little money by stretching out my pills in case he changes it.  I didn't realize it would have such an affect on me.
  
  Ironically, I started feeling better once I ate something.  I must have an evil trigger in my brain that food soothes.  No wonder I'm not good with food.  The medication must console that trigger.
  
  Hege,
  Thank you. My dad always says, "You're stronger than that.  You don't need that."  He's wrong.  I do need it even though I wish I didn't.
  
  uni,
  Thanks.  I'll be better tomorrow.  I shouldn't have to skip anymore.  I've got enough to last through my appointment now.  It was a rough day, but thank God it's about over.

         I have a little secret that I never try to hide. The only medicine I use to bring me back to where I need to be is my ipod.  I have it loaded with nothing but the best. Both music and song, nothing is loaded that would fail to lift me back up to where I feel invincible.  For such a small piece of electronic equipment it sure knows how to change my mood, works every time. I do practice deep breathing exercises while I'm listening.
      I also get away from reality for awhile with my . . . . you're gonna laugh and that's ok with me :o) nope that's worth two :o)   :o)   my "View Master". I have dozens of discs of scenic views from all over the world. All I need is a bright lamp to aim at. It may sound crazy to some but it brings pleasure and peace of mind to me. I look hard when I go to yard sales and flea markets, I'm always hoping to add to my collection.
     Well there you have it, that's my little secret CreativeWoman, that's my only medicine for those times when I'm feeling low . . . it works for me.
    The day may come when I need drugs, but not today.

  {hugs} CW I hope you are feeling less doleful now.

• CreativeWoman said on Nov 05, 2009....

  CayenneMan,
  Believe me, I rely very heavily on music and meditation to help to lift my spirits.  I've bucked against anxiety medication for years.  I didn't want it and tried my hardest to lift myself up.  Too much is too much, I've had to surrender.
  
  I'm glad that View Master is helpful to you.  Knitting and crafting help me some.  It keeps my mind busy.  I focus too much on the things I have difficulty changing.  It's all very difficult to understand if you have not had anxiety grip you for a long period of time.  I wish I were stronger.
  
  Alyss,
  Thank you.  I'm a little better.  I had a backslide moment.
