i am watching the movie i got from the library and i have to agree, life is precarious. one wrong move, and everything is lost. maybe it is just because i am rather poor right now. i haven't worked since Oct. but i start this week full time. it will take forever to get the checks coming in.
anyway, does life seem this way to you? for what reason? is it just my lack of money and my instable mood that i think this way?

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I've found that uncertain and insecure have been better words for what I sometimes experience. I either ignore it, analyze it, or talk about it to my therapist.
Good Luck with your new job!

i do need to talk with a therapist very badly right now. but i don't have one yet. the director at the community counseling and crisis center is trying to find me one, but so far no luck.
i need to stop taking my codeine. my hip really doesn't hurt and i am taking it anyway just to chill out but then i get depressed and feel like crying. add ambien to that and i feel just plain weird, precarious, unstable.

like i said, i mixed codeine and ambien and got this weird, uneasy feeling. i felt like i did not exist. i felt completely numb. so i cut my arm. not badly enough to need stitches or anything, but enough to be noticed by my boyfriend. he is going to freak out. he has threatened in the past to take all the sharp objects out of the apartment we share. he is going to be so mad at me, i can't bear to think about it. what do i say to him?

Yeah finding a therapist is hard. Are you finding some but not clicking with them, or are they just not finding any therapy that will take you right now?
You could tell your boyfriend how you felt when you cut yourself. He sounds like a good boyfriend. It is probably a good thing that he is worried about you.

i can only afford to go to the CC&CC right now, and they have a waiting list to see a therapist. about my boyfriend--i am afraid that if i tell him or if he sees the cuts he will throw out the codeine and the Ambien--and i need both at times. so far he hasn't seen the cuts, and i am hoping to keep it that way.

okay, we all know that cutting isn't good. Your posts also state that you feel the need for the drugs, but that you feel weird on them.
Can you talk to your regular medical doctor for a way to get past the withdrawals?
I, also, am glad that your boyfriend has your best interests at heart.
best of luck,
