    I'm fine! I thought he might have gotten bored and left but we're both all-season campers so 14 degrees wouldn't be enough to run him off. I'll just be lowkey today with the curtains closed. No worries! Thanks for thinking of me but no need to worry. Smile!

    I won't stress about it. I thought because we had known each other for many years and were becoming close friends, there was a chance he might someday be more than just friends. Even just friends is fine. He wasn't bothered by things that scare most people off. I evidently didn't know him...

    I'll be fine, I'm just P.O.'d and had to rant. He's more disturbed than I thought and my heart feels JOY for the decision I made when it began to feel strange. No worries!

    Sufferer I'm New - Having trouble Grounding

    Hello and welcome! I eat crunchy chips, take notice of the things around me...pictures on the wall, where I am. I listen to rock music, pet the cat or wander around the house straightening things. I usually can't do things that require thinking, like sudoku or crossword puzzles, but physical...

    10:30pm I'm rather pissed. That Asshat Guy is sleeping in his truck in my driveway. I'm half tempted to call the cops, but after the recent break-in, they might see a strange vehicle and pay him a visit. I got a message earlier today saying he was coming over because I had a surprise in my...

    Hotel parking lots are one of my choices. If security says anything about me sleeping in the vehicle, I just say I can't sleep with hubby's snoring! They accept that and don't bug me, haha! I like that name! That's hard, finding what works best for you both. I'll keep hoping you find it! I...

    It was 2016 when the renal specialist gave me Klonopin and since it worked, the other medications were stopped. I tried Xanax, prozac and psychiatric drugs that did nothing for the elevated cortisol. Klonopin fixed it. There may be something new developed to control cortisol...hopefully not...

    Wow, this blows my mind! There's something going on with Drs and drugs....not just me. I was taking it personally, but not after reading this. I'm so sorry for all the people who are being hurt by this. My heart breaks for them...so sad. Very strange the sudden attitude of doctors.... hmmmm...

    I totally understand that! Dealing with all the city traffic un-nerves me! I get normal anxiety the night before such a trip and poor sleep. The weather can make the trip through the canyon treacherous. 15 minutes late and they cancel...after all it took to get there. I've smartened up and...

    Well... I'm over here practicing medicine and medical advocating without a license, so...laughing at myself!!! I'm composing a letter to my insurance, explaining the maintenance iis as bad as the problem, so I'd like a decision based on my unique situation. (I'm sure that will be filed in the...

    My therapist has some knowledge in that area because he volunteers at a drug rehab office. I expect I'll bring up this issue next time we talk. In the meantime, I'll try another experiment and cut my dose in half to see how my body responds. I might give myself a head start on weaning myself...

    Thank you for sharing your experience, it gives me a little hope that it won't be as hard as I'm expecting. Preparing for the worst and hoping for the best! Each of us are different, so I don't know how my body will react. I've noticed as long as I stay physically busy, the activities keep...

    Thanks for the info! No easy answers to my complicated problem! I'm starting to think that I won't have peace within my body's balance until the offending growth is removed. Then I'll be dealing with mainly PTSD and likely benzo withdrawal. I may be in an imaginary dream world on that one...

    Thank you again for good info! I'm glad this helps you! It sounded ideal, but I swallowed my gum when I read it can cause kidney damage...but I only read one article at webmd. I have lots more research to do! You've given me a starting point! I've never researched Klonopin, I'd probably...

    Yes! You totally understand as well! I had no idea so many others were in this boat, but here we all are trying to stay afloat. If I took every drug I was offered, I'd be a mess. Well, I am a mess, but I'd be a worse mess! I used strong pain medication for a long time but as pain...

    It sucks when the body rebels against itself, taking the mind with it. I'm not sure what MDD is, hyperthyroidism is something I do understand (my thyroid was removed but meds for it made me feel awful so I quit them and feel fine). You've been dealing with with stuff for ages, I can relate. I...

    I'm going to ask the specialist to fax my file to the local doc and hopefully he reads it. Too bad the other doctor is over 100 miles away, I'd prefer he was monitoring me, at least he understands the issue. The scenario is an old hag telling a young whipper-snapper how to do his job when he...

    I didn't know there was a problem because it was prescribed to treat a condition caused by a tumor on my adrenal gland that is still active. My old Dr retired and the new one is a bit on the rude side. He views every patient as an addict. I'd be thrilled if there was a better way to control the...

    Of all the medications tried, this one helped most with fewer side effects. I wish this new Dr didn't have such a "God complex" and discount the info the adrenal specialist gave, with his treatment plan...because the specialist was on target with the diagnosis and treatment. It made perfect...

    Failed experiment, caused myself a long panic attack. My new doctor (last one retired) says I've been using Klonopin for too long and suggested other medications that haven't worked in the past. I've woken up with considerably fewer panic attacks in recent years since using this medicine. I...

    Yes...and when it eventually happens, I'd feel just awful! I only mean to send good feelings and would NEVER intentionally hurt anyone, but if I do, I hope they would let me know. I wouldn't take offense to things said to me, I accept criticism and take from it the good things and discard the...

    Thanks for a fantastic idea! I'll also be nailing some doors closed. I'll leave 2 for emergency exits but the others will be fixed to be difficult to open. Its a creepy, "violated" feeling knowing my space was invaded. I hope you have a great day also!

    A new nightmare. Finally!!! I've been stuck with the same one forever, it seems. A slow motion replay of the past where I know how it ends before I wake up. This time, a change from the usual. It shook me up, but I reasoned it out and was fine. In the dream, I was going on a long trip by bus...
