Sounds somewhat like what is going on with my mother-in-law. She can't
put on weight for nothing. They once prescribed a medicine to make her hungry. But they didn't realize how much she was already eating.

I believe its just our genes.

So I've decided to do something absolutely shocking to me and take a class that's held over a weekend and requires me to stay over 2 nights. Open classes are Oct. 30th and Nov.13th. But I want to go to the earlier one because I could be able to get my license back in November.

I know I'll be thrown together with strangers in close quarters long enough for them to notice my scar and ask about it. But I just need to suck it up and get this class over with, and I think the experience will be good for me. I can't continue to hide and avoid life.

Because it's an overnight thing, I'll have to have pdoc sign a med release. No big deal. They have to lock up the Klonopin, but they said they'd lock up the rest of my pills if I want them to- and I do- everyone there has been convicted of either d/d or being caught driving on drugs. I don't want someone taking a couple of 400mg Seroquel pills because they'll take anything... that would be a bad thing.

It's a bureaucratic pain between two states after that and our car insurance is going to go WAY up, but it's nothing short of what I deserve. But getting this done will be worth it because I've spent a couple grand on cabs in the last 9mo. getting to pdoc appointments alone.

I can't believe that I'm willing to do this overnight thing, yet I'm getting no sense that I'm going to change my mind. Strange. I imagine my anxiety is going to grow the closer I get to the class though.

Kay
Hey Kay. When you said d/d or being caught driving on drugs are you talking about illegal drugs,or proscription drugs? I don't drive after taking Seroquel. I take Seroquel before bed. BF

I take Seroquel at night. It's too sedating... I could NEVER drive on it.

I have to go to the class because I got a DUI in December and it's part of my sentence. Other people there have to go for DUI or driving on illegal drugs/prescription drugs without a prescription,etc.

Kay Me to. I would never drive after taking Seroquel. I take it before bed. I haven't drank any Alcohol for a long time. I remember what it was like. A couple of beers would cause me to be under the influence. I stopped drinking successfully over two decades ago.

I'm in emotional pain tonight. I don't know why. It comes,and goes. BF

BF,
I can't imagine drinking and taking Seroquel. It's so potent once it kicks in I feel like if I had had a few I'd go to sleep and not wake up. When I want a beer, I think of that, too. Congratulations again on your two decades

You're going to have periods when your emotional pain is worse than others. It's part of the grieving process. Sometimes it's the time of day, when it's quiet, or when something reminds you of your losses...

We're here for you BF. Anytime you need us.

I just signed up for the driving class that starts Oct.30th and paid in full

The bad news is I'll be contending with 13 steep stairs all weekend
But I can do it if I go slowly, nobody rushes me, and I wear the right shoes. Oh, and Klonopin, I'll need a little Klonopin.

Thank God they're going to put me in a bed that's on the same floor as the bathroom. There's no way I could manage those stairs on 600mg of Seroquel.

Good work, Kay.

And it is good to hear that the bed and bathroom are on the same floor.

Is it two nights?

Yes, 2 nights... From Friday at 5pm to Sunday at 3pm.

This whole experience is going to be interesting...

They're sending me out a bunch of paperwork. Maybe I'll get an itinerary or something so there's less unknown. I do better with more information, but I'm doing it information or not.

I was hoping that they could email me the med release because they need it before the class. If they send it by mail it doesn't give me much time to receive it, get pdoc to fill it out, and send it back for them to receive it prior to Oct. 30th. Pdoc doesn't work everyday.
The lady I spoke to today said she would let me know if she couldn't email me the med release. No med release yet. Does she even have my email?

I'll call tomorrow if I don't hear anything or see anything in my inbox.

I'm very impatient and easily stressed.
