I'm on mood stabilizers for the bipolar disorder. And it's funny you should mention the anti-anxiety meds. My older wiser friend suggested I ask for some just for the worst times (like when I have to be exposed to the in-laws for several days!). I have a therapy appt. on Friday morning and I'm going to ask her then. My in-laws will be here Friday night, so wish me luck!
Btw, I forgot to tell about my strong moment during all the weird craziness yesterday. I didn't light up! I wanted to so badly. I was even justifying it while chatting with my friend on the phone. I was under so much stress, I could quit again when things weren't as nerve-wracking, the nicotine was better than be volatile and shouting at people. Heck, my dad even said he thought maybe I needed a cigarette...and he doesn't smoke! But thankfully the mood stabilizers allow me to focus and be more logical, even under pressure. I knew that if I used extreme stress to justify smoking now, then I would always have an excuse to go back. Anytime things got nasty I'd be able to light up. So I didn't buy them, didn't smoke them.
