Had the day from hell. Ok now though

If I had a benzo I would have used it, that’s for sure. I tried all my coping mechanisms and they didn’t work. I was pretty distressed.

As I said it’s ok now.

I’m toying with the idea of getting 2 or 3 benzos a month from my doctor but it could be a slippery slope for me as I spent months coming off them.

Ok @everhopeful please try this with me it actually might be a good idea. I’ve been suggested by my pdoc too. What do you think about trying mindfulness or meditation?

@everhopeful was there something specific that caused your distress?

I’ve got a meditation “machine”

And it didn’t really help this time. It’s helpful in general though.

I don’t think mindfulness stuff would have helped this time either.

Not that I could see. It just seemed like an off day. I used to get them on 10mg abilify but this was the first one since I upped my dose to 15mg. But it seemed more severe.

The glasses shown in the photo of the procyon system remind me of this. :sunglasses:

Glad you are feeling better now @everhopeful.
I know how you feel.
I avoid taking Benzos also.
I worked too hard to get off of them.

Happens to me too. Although I have two important coping mechanisms, sometimes they fail. Just remember, these moods are impermanent and will pass out of your mind soon enough.
What is the photo of?
