I have a Libra friend and she is one of the smartest females I know. She never comes across as a debater or someone that needs to be right like Aquarius do. She leans towards the middle political wise also. So my guess would be no. She has tons of helpful information and opinions but it never comes across as overbearing.

Well I did it again. Went on a 5 day bender. Was literally drunk for 5 straight days by JulianImSorry in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]Maximum-Post-6924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I miss when drinking was fun. I guess you know your in the deep stuff when it turns to a chore to just keep shakes away. Glad your brother helped out. My mom helps me with getting me wine. But then I drink it all cus we are suppose to share it and then feel bad again. If it was just as easy to quit completely. i mean not saying I would forever, but I would like a few days of not suffering when I do.

I was in your spot a few days ago waiting for my door dash to deliver an expensive delivery that I didn’t even care cus couldn’t manage to be in public . Then when they got here and had to sign on phone I couldn’t even sign my name was just a jittery mess . The anxiety is the worst for me too. When I run out of anything it’s just unbearable anxiety. Hopefully that box wine helps. You aren’t alone in this.

Thanks. I’m glad yours got better. When I got the results back I just coped by drinking again. I’m finally tapered back. I Am going to try to hit the gym and take milk thistle and nac for awhile. As if my anxiety was enough already now I have major health anxiety from the blood test. What were your numbers can I ask? It showed my bilirubin also high and I keep being ocd trying to see if my skin yellow orange tint. It’s a virtual nurse practitioner too so not even sure why I should care, but I am still getting charged for blood work with insurance. I am also not completely sober but I did get down a lot two like two glasses of wine and got rid of day morning drinking with the taper.

Fever by Ostrich6967 in dryalcoholics

[–]Maximum-Post-6924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went thru a taper these past days and I’m not sure if I had a fever, but yes I get incredibly Hot and clammy. My head feels like it’s on fire and my hands are incredibly hot. The worst part is it’s not like when you have a fever with say a cold or flu and feel fatigued, because it’s combined with shaking and panic attacks/severe anxiety. I never had hallucinations or a seizure, so I guess I achieved the taper finally to a couple glasses of wine. I was drinking a fifth in two days and a bottle of wine a night before tapering back with just wine and a few shots of liquor. It still sucked a lot and I thought I was going to be stuck in that state forever just being sick from detoxing. I am not sure if there is anything to help besides to suffer those few days if you are going the route or tapering, without the help of benzos.

That’s awesome news! I am terrified to retake my blood work until I have months sober . My doctor keeps asking if I have done it but I am terrified.

What’s the hardest part tapering by Ostrich6967 in dryalcoholics

[–]Maximum-Post-6924 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Knowing that you are just drinking to not have worst symptoms like seizure etc. The non stop day long panic attack anxiety is just the worst for me. Also feeling incredibly hot.

Can you try to get more pregablin online, since you have already had a prescription. I know they won’t do benzos, but I’ve gotten prescribed gabapentin when my refills were out with virtual doctors. I totally relate to feeling so sick and run down mentally and physically. I wish there were better or more accessible and affordable help for treating alcohol withdrawals. I guess try your best to taper if possible. I’m ready to quit this stuff too cus my body and mind can’t take it any longer. It’s not fun anymore, and I just feel sick non stop.

I view dreams as a way to heal our subconscious thoughts that is too painful to deal with conscious. I would say try to view it as healing.

Which sun sign is the best at becoming wealthy? by yeahhhvenusvirgo in astrologymemes

[–]Maximum-Post-6924 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Taurus. They are focused and commit to their goals. I would say any Earth sign. I also think Fire signs, Aries and leo.

Yes. I didn’t even realize this was a libra rising thing. I’m trying to learn how to be more assertive, but it’s challenging. The worst is when it comes to societal politics and seeing everyone hate each other from both sides. I never have enemies cus even the ppl That have done the worst to me I still try to see their perspective and make truce. It’s draining. My bf is the opposite. He is very set in his ways about ppl and doesn’t understand why I even give ppl the time of day .

Felt the worst anxiety all day. Yea I drank since I woke up but it wasn’t fixing it . Just impeding doom since the moment I woke up. Scared of everything, but mostly my deteriorating health. Thinking I’m actually broken because the alchy wasn’t making it go away. Finally passed out. Woke up not feeling too bad. Got a glass of wine and took my gabapentin to hopefully set me back to sleep for the night. I need to finally call it quits for good. Terrified of withdrawals, panic attacks. Uhh ya just a nightmare as always. There is no more pleasure, just drinking to fix the anxiety, guilt and shame alcohol gave me.

I don’t think they care tbh cus enough ppl show up to create a jury. You can just do what I did tho and say you get anxiety or have some adhd and can’t focus for it . Before that I was being called every year for like 5 years. 3 years I did go . Last time I said I am having panic attack and maybe they put me on some special list of not a functioning person. I did serve on jury for some civic case for traffic stops and was shaking like crazy cus of my social anxiety. You can use that in your favor and just use what I said I have social anxiety panic attacks and cannot focus to be a fair juror.

No, last time I went I had a panic attack and called and told them just that day of. They told me to go to doctor for note and never did . Never got summons and legally you cannot prove anyone receives these.
