I don't want to drink or used but I'm deflected, I know getting drunk right now it will make matters worse. but I'm giving up on myself . and I don't want too. tomorrow I have to go back to work. I don't feel like coming here anymore, you guys are wonderful, but I feel like ...

Don't give up, bud. Play the tape to the end.

As bad as you might feel right now, you'll feel worse tomorrow.

You're in a hole, quit digging. Go out and get some exercise. Take a drive. Call a friend or loved one.

Fill the hole.

Be sure that you talk to your doctor before taking the supplements with the medication you have been prescribed.

Yeah, particularly the St. John's Wort does not interact well with prescribed medication. VitD is safe. Omega 3? I use food as medicine instead of buying fat supplements.

I give up on medication it make me so tired I worst.

Kris47

Yes, Erfra. St Johns Wort is an anti depressant as well and should not be mixed with your pharmaceuticals. Do check with you doctor first.

Kris47

Perhaps your doctor can adjust those meds.

How long did you take it? It takes several weeks for it to start to work as it should. Did you take it for more than a month?

Did you go back to the doctor and ask for an adjustment or a different type antidepressant? There are many types, it takes experimentation.

One day

I went to AA meeting and feel better. I would do my best and get up tomorrow and go to work. I'm not giving up on myself.

Kris47

I always feel better when I come from a meeting. Even if I only hear one thing that resonates with me, it helps. Never give up on yourself.

erfra7

Well I'm on my way to work and I feel anxiety. I really will like to know went all of this will stop. I'm using all that I read to get better go to meetings. Talk with my counsellor and people in AA. I pray maybe I'm praying wrong? I even ask my younger daughter to stay with me for a few days she is 14,. I must have a screw up brain and bleeding heart. Oh and I just found out that the heart is full of nerves almost like the brain I would love to rip all those nerves away.

I think things like this can sometimes take longer than we like Erfra. It's important to try and stay patient as we move forward.

I hope the day turned out better than you expected

The more one prays the better they get at it. Any prayer works but it is in God's timing and not ours. Have a better day Erfra.
