[on...] Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks I tryed to think of hows its been soo far with being off and what I felt like, because of what those doctors did. I thought when I first started them, that it would make my life easier, as I wasn't worried about everything, but in the end it made me worse. and now I feel like I'm climbing back up the ladder, of the dark hole (the pills), that the doctors (who are supposta make u better) put u in.

Like any drug, or alcohol, it makes you feel so good. Gives you a wonderful sense of wellbeing, that everythings gonna be ok. Only problem, it doesn't last. Then it turns on you, and starts CAUSING the exact problems that you took it for in the first place. I'm sorry you had to go thru that at such a young age. But it also helped you learn a valuable lesson that you can take with you thru the rest of your life. You can't find peace in a pill bottle. (Or any other addictive substance!) You'll find it within yourself. Make that your goal in life. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a yr of being on them, I had soo much trouble holding down a job, as my body movements started to slow WAY down, because of those pills, and my mind, it was like I would get myself confused on the best way to problem solve, with even simple tasks like making 20 salads, within 2 hrs. was like impossible. Everyone kept telling me I'm SOOO lazy and don't wanna work, but it wasn't that, I wanted to work, and do well, but the pills wouldn't let me, they fogged my mind up too much, and slowed my body movements way down. I'm starting to do better with not moving so slow, or with using my mind on tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[on...] Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 well that is a start - i want to work to - but i am just so very imperfect. I find myself, when I feel like I'm not perfect at something I give up. I have to learn to not do that, and accept that mistakes happen, and thats just part of learning new things.

[on...] Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 i'm in counseling for that - it is a communication thing - both internal and external. I'm trying to work on it without counseling, by trying to remind myself, and that no one is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
