Hello?

[ladydrace]

Is anyone around for a chat? I'm really needing someone to talk to right now.

I'm here, despite the fluctuating internet

I'm ye close to a serious breakdown. On 2 benzos and still not calming down. Any suggestions?

I really don't know. I've been having this kind of stress problems recently a lot. Painkillers usually help me, but I'm not sure they're supposed to.
Can you rest?

[lady-drace.livejournal.com]

Can't. Noisy head.

[macboris.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I know how it is. Is there anything you can listen to that wouldn't aggravate it? That sometimes works for me.

[lady-drace.livejournal.com]

Trying. Doesn't work.

[macboris.livejournal.com]

I see. ):

Well, the last thing I can think of is play a video game of the blow aliens up variety, but...
I'm sorry. *tries to help*

[lady-drace.livejournal.com]

I appreciate it.

[macboris.livejournal.com]

If you can, though, playing Metroid always manages to distract me. I could link you to the necessary things.

[lady-drace.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but no thanks. The benzos impair my coordination somewhat. I doubt playing games is the best way to go.

Thanks for trying.

...Oh shit, now I'm starting to flail.

I hope you'll feel better. *hugs*

Deep breaths and perspective are my advice. Think about what's bothering you, think about the fact that whatever it is will soon pass, that the feeling will not last forever and that in even a couple of hours time you'll feel differently. Let yourself feel what you're feeling, look at the feeling, and then remind yourself that it is just a moment, not your entire life. Then count your blessings - Pea, your home, your friends, etc. And then feel a giant virtual hug from me. *HUG*

I'm not sure I can do that. It's like this internal turmoil is draining all of my energy. Have no strength left for anything but this inner hell.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Is there something you can do to distract yourself? Veg out in front of episodes of Merlin or something? That's sometimes the best you can do is just to convince yourself to get through it, even if it just means saying to yourself, "I will get through the next hour", one at a time.
