A Pill To Fix All Things!

Today I wish I was normal.Not only thin normal but not ADD or OCD and not I wish that I could take medication to "fix" me! All I wanted to do today was eat,all day long!I couldnt stop thinking about food for a minute.It was one of those me me me me days that I just hate.

 

And I wish I lived in a country where it wasnt such a mission to find a therapist that is going to stay put.But we are all expats,habitual movers!

 

Once I found a pill,for 2 weeks..lol.I went to my gp and said I am sick of myself and need something.He yanked a sample of Cymbalta out of his drawer and said try this and see me in 2 weeks,remember it only works after 10 days.After exactly 24 hours I knew that was what normal felt like.I was calm.My OCD was gone,my mind started focussing for the first time EVER!Didint have a 100 tracts playing in the head all at once!I could drive a car without it being a competition to see who wins,I could deal with life without the impending sense of doom and having to tell myself a million times a day that everything is fine,nothing to worry about.I slept a full night for the first time in my life and most important,my fear of people all but disappeared.

 

Then my kidneys function started being affected but I couldnt care less.After 10 days I could hardly walk but happy as I have ever been.Said they would have to wressle the little suckers out of my stone cold hand after my death.He just didnt give me a perscription and that was the end of that! Lol

 

I have been a born again Christian for 15 years now and the Lord have really changed me since then.But I am still me and non of the things I have considered very important like the above mentioned,have changed.I suppose there were so many other things that needed change that this might not even have made the list.I really love the Lord and I know He loves me but boy I wish He would renew my mind more! But He clearly has a plan for my life.And He clearly smiles patiently upon me when I tell Him to hurry up and change me more NOW!

 

Accepting ourself,warts and all, might be so important in a successful future with the sleeve.I am blessed beyond measure in so many aspects of life that I should be able to say its ok to be me.Its ok to not be perfect,its ok!

 

Well,it is the middle of the night now and close to my bed time.Tomorrow,or just now..hehehe...is a new day.I can put this one behind me,live just for the new one,not worry about the future and breathe.

 

God is good all the time and maybe I dont really need that pill.

*hug* we are new creations but dang it, the old dead body is still with us! I encourage you to try again to find someone who will prescribe you a medication that alleviates your anxiety and doesn't try to kill you.

Hi,mostly I do fine.At 45,and as a new creation,I just have a bad day usually when PMS'sing.Problem is it just hits me out of the blue and I cannot always makes the connection immediately.

Today,I feel gr8 and somehow wished I just didnt put all this out there!Maybe I should look into editing it anyway...lol

Thanks for your concern.

My therapist said something the other day during our session I found very interesting. She said it always amazed her at how most people dont give a second thought to taking meds to fix their high blood pressure, or kidney infections or pains, etc etc etc but when it comes to our mind and taking meds to help it there is this stigma attached. She said we should be just as concerned about finding help for that our area. There is no need to struggle so.

Just thought I would share. It makes sense to me :)

Our depression, being scared of people, racing thoughts needs to be going on pretty much daily for a while (month) or it could be situational depression. I take med's for it & I have for a long time. I guess I will never get off them, I don't know but sometimes I think about cost, insurance & medicare later in life and just wonder.....how it will all work out
