Sorry you have to wait a few days but I'm glad you have a plan once the weekend is over... Do you see a therapist for your anxiety or just a physician?

I'm gonna get a shrink. I've never seen someone for my anxiety before at all ...

Well hopefully that will help! Sometimes just venting about things brings my stress level down so much it helps my anxiety... it's like stuff doesn't build up as much

Venting has always helped. But this time it's different. Can't explain it; but just venting won't fix the emptiness I feel. Between my back, anxiety, & my world I have just gone numb w\ fear..

Thanx. I must say I am amazed I never ran to the bottle. I have practically every chance in the world to. Today alone grabbing misc things for mom I walked past 2 different liquor stores 3-4 times & not once did I look to see what was on sale..

Hah! I honestly wasn't even thinking about you drinking when I was reading this thread, just glad to hear you're okay!

Now that you reminded me, that is INCREDIBLE! The fact that you didn't even look is awesome. I don't know if I would have made it through all that and remained sober. So good job to you! As we all know too well, drinking only makes things worse.

I didn't mean to toot my own horn but I am floored I didn't get a bottle, beer, or some misc. Mood altering substance.

Haha I am very proud I haven't ran to booze. Especially after the first night of mom's hospital stay ... That night alone had bender written all over .. It's an intriguing thought though. If I had my seizure while booze in my system.

Things wouldn't be as bright as the actually are. Hospital wouldn't have bent over backwards to admit me. They wanted to cut me loose; but this one doctor called in a "favor" from a neurosurgeon & had me admitted as well as got me health care to boot.

Yes it is !!!!! But I am on the fence about feeling ok haha I have this "not me" feeling & it is scaring me & making me more anxious. I only have 2 pills left (wasn't given many) I've taken less than prescribed so I can make them last to my Dr appointment tomorrow. I am also not gonna read how long after a seizure do you feel normal, again out of fear lol

Yea Dee I figured it also has something to do w\ my mom's stints & the pressure of that as well..

But got some more good news about dad... They had thought he couldn't walk @ all because they couldn't talk to mom or I who knows he needed a lil nudge.. But he got up for physical therapy & walked today. He still doesn't know about mom & I .. Nor will he the way I figure it ...
