Rx for Sanity

[furrbear]

Just got off rhe phone w/ Doc Tommy's answering service asking nurse Becky to gimme a call. Starting with the 5:30 call from ICU, the stress/anxiety/panic level is reaching old bad levels. Not scheduled to come in until end of June, but it's buspar/ativan time.

I'm sure this will be taken and used as more cannon fodder for Mr. "He's Crazy He needs to Keep Taking His Meds!". The difference between the two of us: I know what's wrong with me, He still doesn't know he's a prick.

Totally understandable under the circumstances.
*Big hugs and warm, comforting thoughts.*

I know what you're going through. I've been through this myself, when George died in 1998.

Things do get better with time.

The meds may well indeed be appropriate. My therapist send me to a psychiatrist for a medication review as Dad was dying. It's the wise man who realizes he may need all the help he can get in extreme moments.

*hugs you*

Refusing the help you need is stupid pride.

Getting the help you need is smart humility.

If there's anything your friends can do -- say the word.

Well, what does HE think the answer is? Will BuSpar and Ativan alone do it? What kind of prick doc is he, anyway?

In contrast, what do YOU think you should be doing differently from what you're doing now to handle the stress? Is it not stress at all?
