thanks for the ideas!!! (((Turtle)))

Dad and I went to Friends of the Earth for smoko. Saschi had some pizzas just out of the oven, so we had a slice each. Of two different varieties.

When I woke up, I felt very GROGGY, I felt quite unwell. . . I think it is because I had been prescribed diazepam (valium) while at my stay in the in-patient unit. I was taking 5 mg twice a day. Then they reduced to 2.5 mg. And I do not have an ongoing prescription for diazepam.

It is understandable that I felt quite unwell, as valium is an addictive substance AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN unless prescribed by your medical professional, and even then WITH CAUTION.

Managing withdrawal symptoms

I found that some STRONG music, coffee, and some protein for breakfast made me feel a little better.

Then I chatted with a good friend in a purposeful conversation, which helped a lot.

Then Dad and I went for a walk, and did our shopping at different shops here in my neighbourhood.

By the time I got back, I felt VERY well.
