You'll do fine...you have the right attitude and a clear head to guide you through. Short term goal: get to the specialist "in one piece" lol...thats an easy one.
> I'm not really sure whats going on to be honest. I want to be off meds and deal with ocd with therapy but what i am going through is so scary I don't know if its making my ocd worse or my worse ocd is making the withdraw so hard if that makes sense. It's just so up and down all day, times of feeling okay to feeling suicidally depressed. I know this is due to the ativan so I'm trying to push through. I know ativan is only suppose to work 8 hours and I think at the end of that period i'm withdrawing until i take it again and it builds up and then i withdrawal again. I hope that is what it is and if I switch to valium it will be more constant less scary/depressing/up-and-down. but like i said seeing specialist tuesday just gotta hold in there!!!
