So I have a big “life thing” happening today, possibly two - my anxiety is off the charts and I don’t have the option to use my “rescue” meds.

Sometimes you gotta raw dog the really uncomfortable things in life if want any chance of success….

Anyway, the point of this toot is to ask anyone who happens to stumble across it to please send out good vibes - not just to me (although it is appreciated) but just in general - send some good energy out into the universe today - I’m confident that some of it will find its way to me.

I really, REALLY need a “win” today.

TIA H.T - you folks continue to provide inspiration.

Be well 🙏

@JDN5IX Holy fucking shit you just described my current situation. It's okay to be uncomfortable; I totally get that. But being thrown into a lions' den without emergency medication is more terrifying than many people will ever realize.

It's not a cop-out. It's not a coping mechanism. It's not an excuse to get 'high'. In many cases, it's the only means that allows them to leave the house. Sometimes it's the only way that they can obtain the same semblance of the life that many others get to experience.

It's a medicine, and it works incredibly well (used moderately, of course.. otherwise you're going to have a completely different situation on your hands).

People who need these medications are the reason they exist, but because people abuse these medications, it makes obtaining them so much more difficult. Further, it creates a stigma for just using them makes them less of a human.

Sorry about my response being so long and probably way off course. I was just trying to explain how running out of meds doesn't mean you're addicted to them or trying to sell them, but instead helping you live your life.

No need to apologize, and you definitely didn’t drift off course.

I have a bottle of meds, I just couldn’t take them Tuesday because I was going in for a preemployment exam and needed to be as sharp as possible.

I did well enough that I have moved on to the next round in the process.

Also, that second big thing ended up happening, so yeah, although this week started out dark and ugly and full of anxiety, things have gone really well for me this week - first time in a very long time (about 7 years or so) that I can say that.

I hope this momentum continues and I am able to claw my way out of the very dark place I have been since 2016.

I agree, medications for those who need them are absolutely game changers - I refrain from taking anything anymore that is mind altering unless it is for medicinal use - I used to get a head change everyday when I was younger; now I just don’t like living like that anymore.

It’s a nice place to visit, on occasion, for the right reasons, under the right circumstances, with the right set and setting (and integration afterwards), but for me, the cost of living there is just to much: I like to be “on point” and performing at my best whenever possible - whatever my best may be at the time.

Anyway, yeah, all those good vibes definitely found their way to me and my gratitude has increased exponentially because of it.

Thank you one and all 🙏
