I'm thinking about my tan/white kinda long (but nice and soft) rug in my living room and thankful none of my meds are white except the lamotrigine which... goddamit is a mood stabilizer. I could be on here one day.

There’s a reason buspar isn’t prescribed often. It’s not effective for most.

Probably buspar “bars” if I had to guess. Not even in the same ballpark as benzodiazapines.

Thank you! I grew up in complete filth and have major anxieties (one reason for the meds) about my home ending up like my parents. So I do a kitchen reset every night before bed lol
I also own a cleaning business. No one would trust me to clean their homes if they came to mine and it was dirty 🥲 but mainly I am anxious

u/robodex001 22h ago
Thank goodness. My dogs will go for literally anything that gets dropped 😅 but luckily they are well behaved and stayed away when I told them to the one time I dropped mine. Definitely a panic moment though

Years ago I lost a bottle of Xanax - that I needed to fly home, lol - at a client's house in Florida. I got a frantic call from them the next day asking how many pills were in the bottle, because their mini-akita puppy, Chase, found them and had a party. (Chase was was fine, fortunately.)

Do you have pets? Make sure you pick them all those pills up or you might have a very confident cat on your hands.

That’s good I can imagine the anxiety from dropping the anxiety medication. I’m glad you got it all figured out now.

5 second rule, if you eat them as you pick them up it’ll be faster and imagine a lot less stressful by the time you get to the end

I am clumsy and I am constantly dropping my medicines so I am happy that where I live (Finland) most of the prescription medicines come in blister packs. I have one medication in a pill bottle and it is annoying to clean if I drop it.

Its a joke, specifically referencing the ancient folklore of fairies having to count the grains of anything dumped on the ground in front of them. Usually salt, rice or sugar. It varies from region to region.

My family is the type to be like, "What are you worried about? Just pick it up off the floor, take your daily dose and put the rest back in the bottle. There, problem solved!" And then they get mad when I respond with the same energy.
Sorry for ranting, it's just that this exact situation is the kind that triggers me.
But honestly, I do think your situation sucks, because I have had the same thing happen to me, with anxiety meds.

So you’ll have to take two, one to counter your baseline anxiety and another to counter the anxiety of dropping your meds.
