Day 4 of Withdrawal

Well, as you can tell I'm still here and haven't colapsed somewhere like in my bed. I'm really tired today and struggling. I have 2 hours until I can take the 2 pills. It keeps going between cloudy and sunny and rain and wind. It's quiet in the house except for the rumble of the washer and dryer. I think I'm going to take a nap and see if I can last longer than 2pm. I have only 2 days worth of meds left. I can't afford to pay for them myself so I get assistance from the pharmaceutical company. Well, I was given a prescription for 6 months worth of meds and then I gave it back but no one knows where the prescription is and they won't believe me if I tell them I don't have it (which I don't). So instead of explaining I'm just going to pray and wait it out til the meds arrive. This is another reason why I want to get off of this-it's just too much trouble (for me) trying to remember that I need to call for a refill, make sure people document that prescriptions were given back and then trying to get off of them. I decided that when I went to bed last night I would speak positively to myself and not be afraid (Psalm 91) of getting off of this medicine. I've done much harder things so I know I can do this and I will. Advocating and writing helps a lot. My garden helps a lot too. Painting helps and cleaning out the potty box for the kids (I call my 3 cats kids) helps too.

I'll be back after my nap.
