anxious again

My mind is wandering a bit like a broken record again since the nurse practitioner has decreased my klonopin so I am going back to my original dose.  She said I could if I needed to - she just wanted me to try.  I haven't be able to go to sleep like was before and I am worrying/ruminating more than I was throughout the day.  But I also have reasons:   my knees, physical therapy ending and when to go back to work.  And the environment right now there from my co workers is bad.  It is going to be hard enough physically to go back and I want to be sure I am ready mentally as well. I will keep praying to let go and let God - because he is in charge as usual.  Let go Lisa...  let go...

  1. I know it is easy for me to say, but try to go a little easy on yourself! From all that I have learned about you, you are a good worker, you care for your patients and they are the most important part of your job. Try not to let the other stuff get to you and put the effort into the patients. Use the skills that you have learned so far in your recovery! Talk to someone who understands, do not isolate yourself, use the tools you have learned to cope, you can do it!!!

    Try not to feel bad about increasing the meds, you may need them now during this time of stress, you are progressing and will reduce again...two steps forward and one step back is still progress!!! Look back over your blog and see that you have made so much progress and feel proud of yourself!
