I woke up feeling mediocre but I have good energy and much better focus on the med increase…
I packed all of my kitchen… around 20 days till I move. Gonna have an office of my own soon.

congratulation on your success.
thank you
That’s great! I’m starting to pack too. We’ll be moving around the same time
Awesome!
I got four hours of sleep. Before that I called the Veteran’s crisis line. Everything is ok though.
You know what Kurt Vonnegut said: “So it goes…”
I’ve had to move several times over the years. It can be very stressful. In fact if you look online for the most stressful life changes, moving is pretty near the top. When I used to move around a bit, my doctor would temporarily put me on Ativan for stress until I got acclimated to the new city and the new neighborhoods. I’m an addict and Ativan is addictive so I really had to give it some serious thought before I took the medication.
I wondered if it would be a relapse to take a mind altering drug. It’s a touchy subject and a lot is on the line. AA, CA, and NA deal directly with this problem. They basically say it’s OK in some cases to use addictive medication but just to weigh your options before taking it and take it only in special circumstances. And of course someone in extreme pain is going to take morphine or codeine as prescribed by the doctor.
But in my own case, the stress of moving could have sent me to the hospital so I would take the Ativan for two weeks, until my stress was more manageble and then not take it anymore. Anyway, I don’t want to bring you down. Moving to a new place can be exciting and fun.
Can you come pack my place please? I move Sunday… Not even half packed.
