Where Do I Start Again? How?

i feel i have put my life on hold for so long i dont know how to get it back......could someone pls help me as to where do i start?

thanking u in advance xoxooxxo

p.s nearly off xanax 1mg to go then the 3 valium but i want to start doing something better for myself now other than just joining a gym....
You can do this!! Dont be afraid you can come out to ther other side !!1I have faith in you!!!Cristina
elvis,

just curious i was using a ton of xanax and soma which my dr told me was like a xanax withdrawal. i saw a detox dr and he wiened me off with phenobarbitol in 5 days. a week after that i felt like i had my life back. do you think you might be interested in a second opinion?

outside of joining a gym, how about taking up a musical instrument. my son takes guitar lessons and is awesome at 10 yrs old (i know i am bragging) but really he blows all the guys at the studio away with his self taught talant. or you can take up an art course, my daughter is my artist. or quilting, crocheting, volenteering in an elderly home or at a foster care place or shelters. there are so many cool and rewarding things to do and you just never know where you might meet that night and shining armor while your at it : )

thankyou so much cristina and terrianne!!! for having faith in me and giving me so many options. its just when i think of going back to work it scares me, i guess ill just have to get over that?!? but knowing someone has faith in me means so much! thankyou again! i wouldnt mind joining an art course actually i learnt from my nan and i wasnt bad at it cuz she was an oil painter.
my grandpa had a really bad fall today, im really worried about him. he is sooo stubborn, he wouldnt see a doctor!!! i see my psych tom..

take care
Hey Elvis......
Well what do you want from this life.....It can be as simple as that.
Find your hopes for yourself, them dreams and go for it. Nothing is set in stone, anything is possible. It is all up to you, no one will stop you from ever being happy except yourself. Make sure you don't stop yourself, that you don't put in your head that you can't, or you're not worth everything this life has to offer.
Keep your eyes open always so you don't miss anything.....
You take good care...
Love,
Tina
thanks misty! i saw my psych today and he has really put the pressure on me now so i really have to get work on it!!!! lets just say were really getting into business now!!!! big time!!!
i really hope i have the strength to get there!!!
take care
Dear Elvis,
weve never met but if you are the same Elvis that i read so much about in your threads about 3 weeks ago...youve come a long long way...remember that!!!!

Sorry to hear of your Grandpas fall...was it icy?? consistent falling in the elderly can be a sign of something more serious ( just a thought...volunteer at a senior home so i know that...)

Anyway hang in there, be proud, remeber how much you have accomplished thus far!!!!

Hugs,
Ali
Elvis: You start where you are and go toward where you want to be. You move slowly and use each moment to be the cement block that holds up the next moment, than each day that holds up the next day and on and on untill you have years of wisdom, strenght and love.

believe me when I tell you that you have already started.
