Stopped Benzos...Just Overwhelmed.

I am so glad to hear you are doing well. We will make a good team once we both have our "ducks in a row".

Just say the word and we will start our little "project"

My dental benefits are restarted but only 250.00..that will get me through the door for a cleaning and then i can have a breakdown. My additional coverage for dental work starts in january..I have to wait until then but OMG even though I am scared to death of the dentist..my teeth are literally all falling out at the back. The front ones are good still thank goodness but it hurts to chew!!!
Start eating a better balanced diet Herc..I started. It is easier to eat 4-6 small meals through the day and eat, pick healthy choices. Today I had a cereal bar, two all natural fruit snacks, a banana, yogurt, applesauce and then two chili hot dogs. Then chocolate and macaroni salad too.. Drink lots and lots of water too!! All in moderation. Then I even got some excercise!!!! ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK TOO!!! My dog got loose and I had to chase her..picture me running and screaming with my back injury..She almost made it to the main buzy road....If you would have seen it!!! UUUGGGHHH...I did a flying leap like the flying nun..out in the air, arms stretched in front of me..BOOM, I landed on the ground, but I caught her. There were about 10 neighbors trying to help, thank goodness. My Mom was laughing after..."Here she comes to save the day."!!!!..I actually flew through the air!!!! So....my exercise was not intentional today but I did get some. And...I was in my housecoat..with boots on...very cute!!!!

I just woke up because my head is pounding...would really like a pain killer but I am strong and I will make it through without. I am sure I just overused muscles that have been dormant for years!!!! So we have to keep each other honest and maybe a push every now and then. I am sooo afraid of the dentist!!!!

I need to get through the next couple of weeks first...this rehab is very emotional..I am having huge flooding. I cried for about 4 out of the 6 hours today...the tears would NOT stop. It was very cleansing for the soul...the recent topics have been grief and loss and family. No wonder I was an emotional basket case!!! And again it is the middle of the night and I am wide awake...hopefully I can get a few more hours in before the alarm goes off.:crazy::kiss:

Pandora -

I hear you on the dentist. I've decided the next time I go they are just going to have to do EVERYTHING they possibly can because I make an appt. - go in once - and never go back. I am absolutely terrified of the dentist. I'm proud that you are even able to go in to be honest. I'm so sorry that your full benefits haven't started yet - but at least you have a plan.

I'm hoping your feeling better from the flooding.............sounds truly tough.

Thinking of you.

So, I am not the only person terrified of the dentist.

I sit in the chair and the minute the dentist walks in the room, I start to cry. Not few tears, but full blown crying. So I know what you are saying.

Wonder if I should start a poll? How many of us have this fear/phobia?:think:

Great idea herc....

Had another great day! I think I should go back to school. I think that may be a goal for next year too...Sept 2010. I would love to take behavioural sciences. Today we learned about shame and grief and yesterday relapse prevention. My brain is not numb anymore and I am loving it.:occasion:
