Hello all,
Hi Leigh, my psychiatrist started me on a small dose of a corticosteroid to help bring up my blood pressure so that hopefully I may be able to tolerate a higher dose of my anti depressant which currently makes me dizzy. I just picked up the prescription today, and will begin it tonight. Wish me luck! My doctor warned me that it may cause swollen ankles, lovely!
I've signed up for some acting classes in January. I explained to the teacher that I couldn't make the first class as I will be away for a wedding and he very generously offered to meet me for coffee to discuss the theme of the first class. I see him this Friday. I'm very nervous about meeting him. I just feel that lately, I come across as a "dullard", not very imaginative, nor interesting, certainly not fun.
I find it hard to talk to people at the moment. I'm still weepy on occasion. I'm putting off calls to friends because I find it hard to talk and I'm worried about them finding me dreary. I'm going to the gym and I hope the fog in all respects may lift with time. Thanks, everyone.
Snoozy, I agree with Dee. Don't backtrack on the plan you have in place. If nothing else, detox can be a time of reflection. Bring lots of recovery related books, perhaps write in a journal. Surely the detox place must have some information about residential rehab facilities? I think you need some kind of intensive aftercare. Good luck!

Leigh said it beautifully Leshar, as always. 
And I wanted to add that the teacher of your new class would not go out of his way for you if he didn't like you. I'm sure that even though you feel like a "dullard" right now, it is not coming across that way to others.
Awesome Snooz. I hope today is another day forward for you love.
Good morning wolfie love.
I just grumped all over my October class. They are cutting down all of my huge old trees today. Now in fact. In moments the noise in here will be excruciating. I'm not a happy camper.
Love to all the Julyers. ♥

Really busy, so a quick post. Leshar, just wanted to say I'm sure you will be fine at the coffee catch up! I also keep forgetting to say I'm so glad you are at the gym too.....those good happy hormones will come. You really are doing so much better than you think!xx
