Today is day 2 and I slept like s*** last night. I called in to work. I just wanted 6 hours of alone time. This week has been crazy with me upping the stakes, telling my husband everything, and quitting. Went to my first aa meeting last night. Another issue I am deeling with is my birthday is tomorrow. I hate my birthday. On my 17th birthday my parents hospitalized me for depression. I thought we were going to dinner and I end up locked up. 19 years later and I don't seem much better off. I am spending this birthday depressed, sad, confused...I'd rather go out and celebrate it at a bar and blackout the whole night. But I'm not going to. I feel bad for calling in today, I just couldn't face the world. I am hoping now that I am off the pills my prozac will finally have a chance to work.

It's ok to take a little time for yourself aeo. And it does get better & I only know that because of long termers on this site. Give yourself some time to heal, I hope u feel better soon

You're doing great. Maybe once you're off all the stuff you can get down to the root of the issue.

Hang in there aeo.
