I have been having difficulty at work. With the bullshit of an unstable Boss and dealing with an irrate public due to a step up in enforcement, I have been suffering from severe anxiety. This added to my deep seated PTSD of a traumatic abusive childhood, and a constant battle with depression, well during a Doctors visit the other day I fell apart in the office.
I have been using Lorazepam to deal with stress and anxiety. but the Doc wants to use Zoloft as a maintenance drug and the Lorazepam as a back up for those severe times I am in need of more. I sort of agree but am not really thrilled about the Zoloft.
I do not want to go back down the psychotropic drugs path I was on in the late 90’s, that preceeded a really bad crash and multiple suicide attempts.
In the past I was diagnosed as Type II Bipolar, PTSD, ADD, Explosive Personality Disorder and Addicitive Personality Disorder. In the past 11 years I ahve been unmedicted, no therapy and have had no problems.
My current health care provider knows nothing of this past.
I have minimally mentioned the drinking and drugging, but nothing else.
It is a difficult time, I will probably not use the Zoloft, claiming to be fine and control my emotions and hide things better in future visits.
On a happy note, I received my first pension check from back home! Yeah!!!
