The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
So many pdocs so little time
Another one? This doesn't exactly fulfil "continuity of care!"
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
I know…

The psychiatrist was the consultant. He was fab. We talked through things I can do to alleviate my anxiety, and all my coping mechanisms. My mood is better, but the anxiety is not. He did explain that vortioxetine can increase anxiety but didn’t want to take me off it as it was working for my mood. So he’s prescribed lorazepam ONLY to use when everything else hasn’t worked. Si did say I was so sedated on diazepam but apparently lorazepam is less sedating?

Don’t know about that but then you know I’m not a fan of benzos generally but it’s good to know that you have something to help. Might actually help you to sleep better.
We’re not fans either, a few months ago Si said never again, and I agreed. But I can’t leave the house without falling apart - I need my life back. And there’s nothing he can do to up any of my other meds

I've had Lorazepam here in hospital a few times and I normally refuse all Benzos. It seems to work differently than diazepam and really calms me down without zoning me out.

Do you know what? If you need it to help you through this bit then so be it. You know you more than likely won't need it forever, but love, sometimes you have to take the meds to give you a better quality of life.
I'm glad that he listened and helped. I'm really glad that Si was with you to help you love.

He was his usual awesome self. And, he was so romantic - the dr kept pressing that I had to be self disciplined and only take them when needed. Si told him that I was the most self disciplined person he knew. Such a sweet talker.gif "(rofl)")
