Hey Girls:
I started a topic earlier that applied to me/us but it was ruined by my haters so this post is TO ya'll. The real reasons I am here and posted it to begin with.
I'll paste what I wrote so you dont have to read through pure trash. The post read:
Ok, no excuses, not that I need to make any but I feel that for my sake and for the sake of others that I am trying to help I need to report that I took .5 mils this morning. I am prescibed .5 mils on an as needed basis but still never taken anymore until now. Why did I do it? Many triggers at one time. It is only 10 30 am and since I woke up:
1. One of the family members backed the SUV into the other family car. SUV cant tell, the other car er... smashed in the whole a**-end. Material thing, but I got very upset.
2. PMS and constipation doesnt make for a happy girl.
3. His Ex drops in out of nowhere and wants the kids for the weekend. Of course we let them go. Huge household disruption and out of the ordinary.
4. A few misc. things here and there.
I tried all of the techniques and couldnt get it together. They are hard to practice, it takes time. I made the rational decision to take my medication and feel no guilt about it. I do feel like I need to let it be known for the fact someone else may be on an as needed bases and find they have to take it (xanax for those that dont know my story). They need to know if the techniques fail and you try your hardest, you have the right.
I went and bought paint for the hallway and that is how I will spend the rest of my day. Perfect project as all of my babies are gone until tomorrow.
I am still quite nervous, upset, sad, overwhelmed, pms'ing (which I believe may be the TRUE underlying factor that made all of this unbarable to the point I had to take my meds.
Once I get to painting though all of it will pass. Then I will get in the shower and get all pretty and things will be ok again.
I hope ya'll are having a better morning that I, although mine is looking up!
I wrote this for everyone to benefit from knowing that those of us that are prescibed medicine shouldnt feel badly when they need it, especially when all techniques are used and no relive comes.
Maybe trash will stay off this post so you can benefit without dealing with the hostility. Should anyone post here, other than those of you that are in my boat and can relate, I wont repond so you can get the gravy without the hog.
Hope to hear from ya'll soon. I just finished painting my hall and jumping in the shower to get all purdy to go to dinner.
TRY POSTING ON THE OTHER PRESCRIPTION BOARD WHERE THIS TOPIC BELONGS>IT HAS NO PLACE ON THE PAIN PILL SIDE PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING>ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THINGS.You do not THANK GOD have a problem with pain pills so I feel your advice should go on the board at the right place which is other prescriptions.Cant you see how much damage you are doing by just posting on the pain pill side.You cant understand our problems just as when push comes to shove I have no idea what your pills can do to you.PLEAS dont ruin this board just because you post in the wrong spot.PLEASE
I belong here as much as the next. :)

DAMN IT K I thought after we talked you would at least take a breath before you say hurtful trigger type things.
I wrote this in peace damn it.
Cant you see there is a BIG difference between a pain pill addiction & a addiction to what you take?
How can you not see that
Your kind of pills may be NEEDED to live your life(understand)
Somepeople will need those types of medicines forever.
ITS just not the same as a pain pill addiction.
You words are right FOR YOU TYPE OF DRUG
They do not mean the same to a pain pill addict.Cant you see that?
I understand you wanting to help but damn once again you are taking this all the wrong way.
Its not you
It where your putting your information
What can help your kind of addict can be a trigger to a pain pill addict/PLEASE JUST LISTEN THAN THINK IT OVER...mj

Well girls:

Dear Mrs. Understood,
I just woke up with my usual panic attack and came to the board for support. It's 7:45 Sunday morning and your message was the first thing I saw. Please excuse me, I'm not at my best right now.
Off the top of my head, for PMS I take:
200-400 micrograms of Chromium Picolinate per day
Fish oils (Coromega)
Moderate exercise and watch my sugar intake, lololol
I don't know why this works, but it does for me. The data from the clinical trials are being presented at Am. Psych. Assoc. next week, and a mass market publication of these findings is due in Oct. Perhaps you could give it a try for 8-12 weeks. It got me off prozac for PMS.
mj said, quite correctly that xanax is not a painkiller, which you know. You don't need to justify taking your prescribed dose to me. I certainly don't wish to see anyone fall off the end of their rope. But I come to this board to learn how NOT to justify taking my d.o.c. and learn other ways to deal with the vicissitudes of life.
None of this is intended as an attack. I'll think about what you wrote, get myself some coffee.
Cheers,
Gina

Hey Hun:
I am in the process of prettying up to go out but I caught your post.
Sorry you had to wake up to such crap but I wanted to make sure all of us in the same boat got the message I was trying to send through all of the trash. Glad you did.
Moderators handled it though so no biggie. Such hostility... my goodness. So thankful I am mentally stable enough not to let words I read on a screen ruffle my feathers in such a way. Down right scary. Then sad, then pathetic, then humorous.
My day got alot better. I painted the hall and now going to grab a bite to eat. Let me know how your day is going. I'll check in when I get home.

Mrs. Understood,
No one needs to apologize to me for the bickering on this board. I actually learn a lot about social interaction from it. Besides, I enjoy a bit of cabaret with my recovery.
Please go get some Chromium and fish oil and give it a try. It's a lifesaver as far as PMS goes.
There are other ways of coping with life than taking a pill. They are less convenient but serve us better in the long run. We just need to learn them. Every time we take a pill, rather than learning a different coping strategy, we are taking out a loan that will have to be paid back, with interest, in the future.
Best wishes,
Attila the Hun

Ok, I've had enough of you Mrs. You are a mean crazy hateful person, and I have never said a mean word to you before, but I've had enough. You always start these stupid arguments, always. Grow up, please and stop trying to justify your usage. In another post you said MJ never responds to newbies. You again are lieing..she's the first to respond if she is on. You are not much help to anyone, you just hurry up and respond to newbies because they don't know you yet, give them time, and they'll be trying to get you to leave them alone just like everyone else. I am sorry to my friends here, but I have had all I can take with you starting these arguments and hurting my friends. Good luck with your recovery, I do wish you well with it, I will never ever post to you again. Kim
KIM!! Hey you we keep missing each other on here & I wanted to know how you are doing?I think of you often just something about your story that touches me.If you get a chance please just jot a line to let me know whats going on please....mj
Awwww..Mj, how are you? Things here are good! I am more relaxed. Recovery is soooo much easier since he took his pills and left! I miss him terribly though, and the kids do too, but he is in an in patient rehab in Baltimore, Md. For 90 days, maybe then we can try again. We both want that, but he needs to focus on him now. Thanx for the concern..how is your throat? Did you fish today? When are you gonna catch the big one? I love ya chicka..Kim
You sound good but alittle lonely.I understand that too.Im so glad hes getting the help he needs not only for himself but for his family.I hope you are being good to yourself.You deserve to be able to just go AHHHHHHH ya know.Is he allowed or do you guys still talk?I agree after youve been apart & work on yourselfs,than you become a much stronger unit if you get back together
OF course I fished.I got SKUNKED(not 1 darn bite)But Im gonna try to get on the river by 4:30 instead of 5 tomarrow.My throat is about the same.Still cant talk but Im trying to stay hopeful.Thank you for asking your so sweet...mj

You're silly, I think the fish are on to you! Time to find a new spot. Yes, I do miss him, we've only been together for 5 years, but he took my kiddies under his wing just like a dad would, and before the drugs, he was wonderful to me, he is the love of my life..Ho Hum, we'll be stronger. We talk once a week, about his recovery and mine, and the kids. He says the w/d's are almost over and the depression is hitting, but he knows it is only part of recovery from watching me..he says he kinda knew what to expect. Soooo onward. Thanx for always asking how we are doing, I appreciate that. Good luck tomorrow, I hope you catch a big one!! ;-) I gotta get some kids to bed, I love ya, Kim
Ok you I got a hot shower waiting on me so Ill look for ya tomarrow.I hope you have a nice nite....take care...mj

Hey girls, ignore the verbal vomit that follows my intial post. Bless their wicked hearts. We can only hope they find God soon and try better to live in a way that pleases him.
Let me know how ya'll are doing! Have a great Sunday. Im off to the water park after church. The beach is too crowded and the water is hot (86 degrees). It is easier watching the kids there too.

Congratulatons Kaela. That is a great thing to hear that u only took one i still take more sometime. Good girl. I ain't getting into the s*** but I am proud of u.
Hey Kyra:
I owed it to the ones in my boat to report I took my meds yesterday. Can you believe what honesty and truth turned into? Amazing and sick. Disregard the children among us. Addiction stunts our growth and it appears many started using at a very young age.
How are you!? Im in the truck on the way to Adventure Island. Er, hot today so we wont stay long. Cant cool off around here anywhere. The water is already 86 degrees and it is only May.

Hope ya'll have a great time. Leave this s*** on the board don't even think about it i don't. I just get opinions and ya know they r like ****** everybody has one. Love ya
Get um Tiger! *giggle*
Mrs understood, u said "if all the techniques fail, u have a right"....to take whatever it is u were taking for it. i dont believe this to be correct. once i am off the xanax, the only thing i will have left are my techniques, i will have nothing to take, so i just better get used to it and learn those techniques good and proper, cuz once im off them for good, i will not even have a tiny bit to take ever.
Once again i am confused, mj u would understand me, we are friends, just after what i read about kaela not being wanted here, i start to doubt whether i should be posting here too.....again. I know the post wasnt meant for me but i post in the pain pills board too cuz there are a few more people around. i never try and give advise on pain pills, i only usually update my thread. i am hoping this is ok with everyone.....again.
take care all xox
