Been here for nigh on 20 years [View all]

pretty sure I'm having some sort of mental health episode.

Between the chaos that is our nation and world, and personal issues, I just want to crawl into a cave alone this "Thanksgiving." But not an option.

I think my best bet is medication to blunt my receptors. I have some old SSRIs in the medicine cabinet (paxil); old panic meds (xanax); and marijuana. The MJ seems to be the least invasive, most helpful.

Thoughts?

If the MJ's most helpful, I'd say go with it. elleng Nov 2018 #1

I would go with the MJ. Depending on how old the meds are.... GemDigger Nov 2018 #3
