So many people commented on my post about my feeling bad for taking Ativan. I can't even begin to express how helpful the comments were. I've gone from feeling like a failure for taking them to feeling like they are necessary pills for my brain, which isn't producing the chemicals I need for good mental health. Thank you to all of you who commented. You all gave me so much strength. This is why I've missed LJ. You can learn so much from the experience and knowledge and kindness of other people.

Urgh. I meant to be one of those encouraging you to go ahead and take it when you need it. I *hate* the bias against medication to help with brain chemistry in our culture, hate it. It's just like insulin or nitroglycerin.

And yes, this is one of many reason I miss LJ, and why I'm hoping this time, finally, DW takes off.
