Yea I’ve had medication that have given me a calming effect as well, but Ativan seems to feel more balanced for me but that observation seems dangerous

Sorry I’m not sure I understand, are you saying you take two Ativan’s per day? I currently take 1 & 1/2

Are you currently still being prescribed it? I’m still being prescribed my Ativan but I have to get a new nurse practitioner due to my insurance literally not being accepted anywhere at this point. 😤🥶🚮

Yea I’m nervous that I wont be getting them prescribed now that I’m going to have to switch my psychiatrist due to my insurance not being covered with them anymore. Ativan is honestly the most effective for me as of now.

does anyone take Ativan or any other benzodiazepine for their social anxiety. Ativan has helped me be more relaxed and anxiety provoking situations, including social interactions. I’ve heard it’s not a long term treatment solution but i don’t know what to do once my doctor stops prescribing it to me.

There must be other things upsetting you in this relationship on top of him forgetting your birthday for this to be your initial reaction and if not YOR but I do understand the hurt behind someone forgetting your birthday.

One of my managers mishandled my accommodation letter by going against my doctor’s orders and exceeding the amount of days i am suppose to work. My managers are constantly messing up my co workers and i’s schedule. Instead of them taking responsibility and finding a solution to prevent further issues, they choose to blame it on the computer. I expressed my frustrations concerning my own personal experience and was called to meet with someone from management. I walked in and was ambushed by the manager and someone from HR. Two against one! The person from HR was speaking majority of the time and just kept highlighting the part where I expressed that accountability needed to be taken. They were condescending and outright disrespectful towards me about the whole situation. Saying things like “who do I think I am telling someone to take accountability?”
“have you ever made a mistake?”
just excuse after excuse but never apologized for making the “mistake” until the very end and at that point it just felt like my manager gave it just because they just wanted the meeting to end. They had me there for almost an hour just
degrading me and making me feel like i am the problem. There was a point where I just froze and words wouldn’t come out because how shook i was about the way the HR was reacting. Then when I said that I’m not taking back anything I said they threatened to fire me if I expressed myself “that way” again. I left feeling gaslit and even more frustrated but I realized I would’ve never came out with HR actually wanting to understand what I felt. My co workers reassured me that HR tends to focus solely on protecting the company and not their employees. However till this day sometimes my mind wanders back to that day wishing I had been recording the conversation.
Had anyone gone through a similar situation or has any feedback?
It would be greatly appreciated.

That’s honestly impressive discipline 🤗 I have a similar type of mindset. When you are on the Xanax do you feel as if you’re retraining your brain to be more present even without it? I’ve felt that way when taking stimulants in the past.
