So there's the dive reflex. If you are having a crisis, that's an alternative. And usually more effective than the meds.
Just need a bowl of ice and water. Or some icepacks.
Still. There's a few times where that Ativan is going to be the way to go. Especially when it's go home take an Ativan, keep the job.
Or lose the job and end up hospitalized.
Anxiety is different from depression and I believe underlies depressive symptoms in people in denial or repressing that childhood abuse. Who just think their too badass and don't remember breaking down into tears, screaming im sorry and hiding curled in the corner after simply getting asked "how'd your day go". It happens.
That...years ago was a stressful day when I fucked up and made a mistake at work.
I was terrified and ashamed and in reality felt like I was going to get hurt or accidentally hurt someone else and it'd be taken out on me.
