Dear Qwerty and Só leigheas,
I asked an administrator to delete Posts 18 and 19 on this thread. I now realize how insensitive both responses were. I am so sorry. I realize that saying Só leigheas is happy to help might be insensitive because she has always been there for so many but manytimes, people haven't been there for her. . I realize that the comedy skit hit too close to home for Qwerty. My new username, TunedOut is appropriate. I am not depressed anymore (for the most part) and am not as sensitive to other peoples depression sometimes or maybe I just don't get it sometimes. I am sorry to both of you and sorry about all you have suffered and now recognize that its not a laughing matter. Please forgive me. |

Please do not apologize to me, it is always unnecessary. You said nothing bad to me. You took the time to try to help me when I didn't deserve it.
I haven't slept in 2 days and I am so jittery, terrified and paranoid that it just proves my worthlessness. __________________ MDD with Psychotic Features, Dysthymia, GAD, Cluster C personality traits - Not taking any meds

What have you tried to sleep? Melatonin helps and CBD or more psych drugs might. Are you going to contact your VA doctor? You should consider it from my POV. You need to get relief. |

Melatonin is not working. I went to the local weed shop and got a CDB tincture, it helps when I have panic attacks but not really for sleep. Klonopin is not helping either. Maybe all three?
I do fall asleep for about 15 minutes, I have terrible dreams about her and wake with a panic attack. Rinse and repeat. I deserve it and so much more. __________________ MDD with Psychotic Features, Dysthymia, GAD, Cluster C personality traits - Not taking any meds

I am TRULY, DEEPLY SORRY that you're hurting and struggling SO BADLY, @qwerty68, and that you're going through ALL OF THIS! Have those Meds been prescribed by your Pdoc or are you self-medicating? I'd sugges tot reach out to a professional if you can and if you aren't already doing it. That is just my opinion of course. I feel like that would be the BEST option for you since you seem willing to take Meds. Please be kind to yourself. Please keep fighting! I am so sorry that you're having problems sleeping. Hopefully you'll be able to find the best Meds for you that will help you have a nice, long sleep. Please keep fighting! Sending many safe, warm hugs to you, @qwerty68, Irvina, your daughters, your stepchildren, your friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking! I am TRULY, DEEPLY SORRY that you're hurting and struggling SO BADLY and that you're going through ALL OF THIS! KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP ROCKING!

I will not take any more psych meds. They have never helped, except for benzos from when I last saw a pdoc in early 2017 or so. They have hurt me in so many ways. At least 30 different meds over 21 years.
Melatonin is over the counter and my regular doctor knows I take it. I live in a state where recreational weed is legal so there are tons of shops with everything imaginable. CDB is extremely expensive so I only use it when I am about 2 seconds from hurting myself, but there is no way the VA would pay for it. I don't drink but I should probably start drinking every night until I pass out. I am old and serve no purpose so what harm would it cause? __________________ MDD with Psychotic Features, Dysthymia, GAD, Cluster C personality traits - Not taking any meds

I have heard that in states where it is legal recreationally, people are using more but can't afford the legal stuff--the black market is strong. Is it legal to grow a small amount in your state (without a precription)? That might give you something to do. I once ran into someone who told me he dropped all his psych drugs and just smokes weed. He swore that helped him more than all the pills he was on. |

I went back out to do my errands yesterday (one was Walmart). After I parked my cart, I was bringing the 18 eggs (had loaded everything else) to the truck. Someone honked, I am still so jumpy that I threw the eggs in the air and they landed with a splat. I am the type of person who attracts concerned people (damsel in distress is not an act--it comes naturally). Two men walked up and said, "You can take those eggs back, I am sure they will exchange them for you." The lady who honked, drove up with a concerned look and said, "Sorry, I tried to honk softly". I said, "I know, it's OK, I am just a little high strung." I did not take those eggs back--I got in the car and headed home. I was in no condition to be driving or even carrying eggs yesterday. But I did it anyway. I drive like Mrs. Magoo.

I took twice as much CDB as I normally do and slept about 7 hours straight, just normal weird dreams. It is about 10mg. The bottle is 100mg and a bit over $20.
It is funny, I was going to also take a benzo but was worried what that might do. Dying is okay but being found by my daughter or granddaughter is not. I would have to get a medical use card to be able to grow it and VA doctors can not sign those cards. I am pretty bad at growing things. Maybe I could find an outside doctor to sign it. Weed shops are required to have part of their inventory for medical use which means it has to pass pharmaceutical purity tests and it is taxed much lower so is supposed to be cheaper. I am sorry you were so jumpy. I get like that but only in my house. my daughter makes me jump almost daily. I am sure that is one of many reasons why she thinks I am pathetic. __________________ MDD with Psychotic Features, Dysthymia, GAD, Cluster C personality traits - Not taking any meds
