Ever missed your psych meds?! Sheesh....

I'm SO embarrassed-- had such high anxiety at Caribou tonight. Realized just now, getting out bedtime meds, I'd missed the  5:00 p.m. anti-anxiety meds  Majorly freaked at MG, due to having social anxiety, then being in a situation where they were so needed. Huge apologies for leaving to sit outside alone in the melt-down, not wanting anyone to see me (no drama, no scene) waiting for earlier MM ride, which didn't show til 8:40 . Just had to let everyone know it was MY screw-up, that nobody caused a thing--I'm so human, and we've each got our individual head issues post WLS.....even got hit on by some dude out there--ick. BUT, Here's a WOW: I quit smoking Friday and wanted to go in and buy a pack SO BADLY, the worst I ever, ever wanted a cigarette, and overcame that temptation.Any smokers/ex-smokers will understand how huge that was!  I feel great for that.  Am taking bedtime meds in fifteen minutes, to get a good night's sleep, and really HAVE to stop reversing days/nights, because this is not the first time I've goofed up meds--and even have two seven-day, four-time slot med organizer. Apologies again for my not being my good ol' self tonight;  time to eat some crow if the two cats will allow.....good night hugs, Patti

I am glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Thank you Elena, I slept nine hours overnight, and feel like I should.  Whew, it's tough doing a 'stupid' though better here, than with complete strangers!  Ha! 

Patti,

I was wondering what happend to you. Hey next time just grab a chair.......

Kelly

Hey Kelly, am feeling even better than when PMd you last night, though having slept nine hours, have felt just like I ought to!  Good thing nobody literally dies from embarrassment, huh?!  Hugs, Patti

Keeping you in my prayers Patti.  We love ya.

OK, Mr and Mrs Culpepper,  thank you so much for the prayers, and especially the unconditional love!  (now, if I could buy a ton of that for my sibs.....)  Got a great nine-hour sleep overnight, and am back to what's 'normal' for this bod and mind...still feel so badly for 'missing' out last night, although you both know my genuine thoughts and feelings toward your inspirational love story and faith-based family journey as an awesome example to many!  God bless you two as you become 'one'!!!  Oceans of love and hugs galore, Patti

Patti, I have been there - both with the anxiety, missing meds and needing the smokes.  Well done on resisting.  That is SO huge.  That is something to be really proud of, especially in that situation.

Thank you SO much happy girl!  It sure helps when a few people actually 'get it'.   And sure appreciate your understanding with the ugly anxiety, and the nicotine!  Man, I've definitely got the smoking cessation licked--can't imagine ever 'needing' one like yesterday...for three hours!  We are women, hear us ROAR!  Looking forward to meeting you!  Hugs, Patti

Oh yes, I've definitely done that. But normally it's a work day and by about 11am I'm a wreck and people are asking me what's wrong!   I have to go home and take the meds.

Congrats on the smoking thing - that's huge!!

BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY!
