Sometimes, I'm an idiot

[terrie]

I stopped taking my meds. I kept justifying it, thinking "Hey, I'm fine." Never mind hat the problem is never about the short term. So an otherwise minor correction at work has sent me into a bit of a tail spin of obsession and anxiety. Ugh. You'd think I'd have learned by now, but there's always that need to test the limits every couple of years. Bah.

*hugs* Kudos for realizing the cause of it, though. And I hope the meds help with you soonest.

The thing is? This is exactly what happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I coast along fine for a few weeks and go "Hey, maybe I'm in 'remission'." It's been known to happen. Never mind that I am not a late developer of anxiety. I've been high-strung my whole damned life. And it got worse as I got older, so, for me, better simply means less worse. Something happens and instead of seeing it as an opportunity for improvement, I completely undermine my own self-worth.

*hugs* But!! You're doing great with the recognition this time. Back on the meds, you should even out, and things will smooth out again.

I have faith in you. :) You rock.

Yes. Not taking your meds was a very bad idea. Doing it regularly is a worse one. You have been duly chastised. Just take your meds.

From someone who has also gotten much (much) worse as i've gotten older.
