Checking in daily to maintain focus #8

Crisis averted here on day 19. I really had an urge to go the bar after work, but I stayed the course and came home. Onto sober day #20.

For me I have found that if I reply while driving my posts are much shorter.

oh boy
today was interesting

my emotions were like a yoyo

i woke up late and my viseting med nurse said my heart rate was high

i had to miss a noon meeting because i felt i distracted everyone

i have a primary care appointment on friday the 21st and for some reason im fearing the worst but i dont know why

i worked out this afternoon and felt great then came back home and slept

woke up and felt my anxiety again about my appointment

i take viteman d over the counter. a low dose and i think it might be interfearing with my perscribed meds. just so much energy i cant seem to focus

im not taking vitamin d anymore

thanks for letting me vent

Hi, I haven’t drank for 11 days and 16 hours. I’m feeling better mentally and emotionally and have been praying. Had foot surgery yesterday and that went well. A family member brought some meals for us and we happen to have a small wheelchair which barely fits my caboose but works in a pinch. The hospital delivered a scooter which I will try out tomorrow. Being careful with all of my pills and trying not to eat too much. Watching too much Netflix, so trying to read more!:open_book: That is all.

Great job on 11+ days!!! Keep it up. Feet are hard since we rely on them to get around. Hopefully it heals fast so you can get back at it.

Its a lot better today. If I end up getting depressed again, I’d rather go back on Lexapro than fight with it.

Day 314. Thanks to all who replied to my post last night. I was really tired after coming off a very busy week at work, so that may have contributed to feelin so bad. Today is a lot better after slow morning and getting rest. Maybe yesterday was the worst of it, and nights tend to be harder than mornings.

I would like to add that I think Lexapro was really effective in helping manage my depression. I would definitely go back on it if I get depressed again for long length of time. Wish everyone the best! Thank you for being here :heart:
