Funny how a word can throw you in many different directions.
I don’t like medications, took me quite some time to even consider their use as a method to treat ptsd. But my train of thought has adapted somewhat. The rule I had against their use is only in reference to me. I don’t judge or see others using them in any way as a negative.
So, recently I renewed my prescription for Ativan and my Pdoc who is also my therapist wrote the prescription that it should be used for “extreme anxiety”.
I have trouble identifying my emotions, so extreme anything for me?? I don’t know.
Now I’m thinking that I can’t use this medication because what I experience as anxiety is not extreme. I can still function. People don’t notice I’m anxious (cuz I work reaaaaaally hard to hide it)
Looking for some perspectives….
