Has anyone successfully navigated the sobriety process without taking off work? I have a handful of dependencies I’ve been trying to break (but struggling immensely with). Got prescribed a bunch of drugs during early covid for mental health and have since found myself addicted to most of them.

Most mental health meds are non-addictive. May I ask what you’re taking that you think is addictive?

I would NOT recommend abruptly stopping your mental health meds. Bad times.

I understand. SSRIs weren’t a good fit for me either, and I had side effects tapering off one. I’d suggest making a list of the exact things you’re experiencing that you feel the drugs are making worse, so you have something concrete to go off of with your doctors. Would you be able to look into a different psych if you feel yours isn’t helpful?

Just got trolled by CVS. Got this coupon sent to me at 7:15 but the local store closes at 8pm, so I couldn’t use it ha.
Or do we really think CVS is big brained enough to send me this to try to get me to use it online?
I’m such a slut for CVS coupons, and lemme tell u, $5 is not the normal amount! Usually u get around $2-3 back, or a couple years ago they gave out $20 for getting a flu shot in my college town.

I’m a senior associate in BL and wondering if anyone experiences the same as me. Every morning without fail I have a panic attack, I feel flush, full of anxiety, overwhelmed, heart racing and feel like elephant on my chest. I lie in bed for hours and find it hard to get up until there’s a pressing need, like a call or urgent email. It’s not caused by any specific worry but more just a daily thing (and I work in a relatively good BL practice too). Anyone go through the same? How do you recover?

6w3d and have had manageable nausea for the past few days but since early this morning I have felt horrendous. The absolute sickest I have ever felt. I have thrown up hundreds of times in the past few hours and cannot keep down a bite of cracker or a drop of water. I have ordered b6 and unisom. Has anyone felt like this and have it quickly subside? Or should I expect to feel like this for a while? I have a work trip this week beginning Monday and there is no way I can go if I feel like this

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?
