Hello Erin,

 Sounds as though you have some unresolved issues with the ex-boyfriend. I wonder what the ex use to do sexually that the current boyfriend does not. Perhaps you can expand on what the character differences are, and what has attracted you to each character. Maybe you just want to have sex with different people, and this is the question you must answer.

It is not recommended to cease the taking of medications without first discussing available options, alternatives, and results of one's actions.

If you ar ein Warner Robins I would be pleased to meet with you.

Erin,

When I first entered the program I was really confused and had wild swings of emotions that scared me. 3 things saved my life:

1. Going to 3 meetings a week at least

2. Seeing a professional and letting them decide if I should or should not be on medication and following their advice.

3. Getting a sponsor who sounded like they had what I wanted and following their guidance through the steps.

 

For me that opened the door to recovery and a life I never knew possible. There is hope, keep coming back and stay in the game.

Hello, Erin.

Thanks for sharing what's going on with you. Why did you stop taking your meds? how long have you been with your current boyfriend? Why did you and your ex boyfriend break up?
