Ha! Another smile! I needed that.... ;)

I would get off the Ambien...I am SO SORRY Cornell...just know all will be well. I know personally of 2 incidents re Ambien. A woman friend of mine got up sometime during the night and cooked everything in her frig...but did not KNOW it til the next morning. A pharmacist (Yes, a pharmacist) got up during the night went to McDonalds and ordered a BigMac Meal. Thing is all he had on was his shorts. He remained polite ...the workers called the police... he was taken to jail, put in one of the orange jump suits...and WOKE UP in the morning having NO IDEA what he had done. Needless to say, he stopped taking the Ambien... after doing research... Please tell your wife about this (if you wish) Sending you a comforting hug and understanding.

Cornell, I am so very sorry about this. Please don't beat yourself up over something that you really didn't have any control over. It was a mistake and a lesson learned. I'm sorry about your marriage and the feelings you are having. I hope it helps just a bit to know that you are a huge help to those of us here. Take care.

I have been praying for you friend. You will prevail.

I just want to thank you again for your honesty & genuineness. I've never once doubted it & still don't.

I also want to thank you because what you've been through is a teachable moment to all of us. Your story has shed light on something we may not have thought could happen to "us" but it did happen- to one of us, you!

I'm sorry we've learned through your rotten experience but you just enlightened everyone who's read this story & you never know who we may be able to help or inform bc of it.

Just like Park's story, I shared it with my niece who's an OBGYN & my sister who's a family Dr, to share a woman's story as they both have female patients. I shall now know your story to share with my loved ones who take sleeping aids. So many people I know take sleeping meds and this could happen to anyone.

Wishing you all the best my friend & sending much love-
Lisa

Cornell, I think you will beat this as well! What I am most happy to hear is that you love your wife and that your differences are something that you've always been aware of, so it doesn't sound like trouble brewing!! I'm glad today is over for you! Get some rest tonight. Go easy on the Ambien though! ;-)

BTW, when I take my ambien and outlast it instead of falling asleep, I either eat everything in sight, or I shop online! One time we had deep dish pizza in the fridge and I guess I went downstairs and got a piece, came up to bed with it and fell asleep chewing! My then fiancé woke me up afraid I would choke to death! Don't worry. This stuff happens to the best of us. Thankfully I haven't done that in years because like you did yesterday, I learned my lesson!

keep positive. your a good man. sometimes, unfortunately **** happens to good people. there was no bad or evil intentions mate. remember this. i send ya stacks of healing thoughts your way. tell the judge straight up that it was an accident. keep strong. know that, we are, i'll use the american term 'rooting for ya'.

Stay positive Cornell you will get through this and we are behind you all the way.

Hibee

Hey girls (and guys)

This should actually be a separate post but I didn't want to be a "forum hog" as I know I am not the only one with problems... So sorry I haven't been responding to a lot of your posts.... Know that I am here to support you - you guys are a great source of comfort to me..

As much as I hate to say it, I have regressed on my treatment.... That pending doom feeling is back - my chest is tight and my nerves are shot... I am scared to death of taking my medicine wrong and overdosing.. If it were someone else writing this and I were to respond I would tell them that this disorder is a journey of highs and lows.. I would tell them to "be strong" and utilize their support system during this difficult time... I would tell them that this too shall pass.

The Bible says to "be still and know that I am God". I try to remember this passage during "these" times.

Now if only I could take my own advice! I guess sometimes "words" just aren't enough and the actual support and the "knowing" that your loved ones fully understand you and are here for you is the best medicine which provides a special comfort that words can never take the place of. I thank you dearly for that!

There are people out there who don't have any support system whatsoever... Their family may be preoccupied, their spouse may be uncaring, and they can't afford medication or therapy. It's sad but Healing Well may be their only source of comfort and support that they will ever have. I don't want to sound 'overdramatic' but Healing Well is saving lives!

Peter, I've never had the privilege of meeting you but I do want to thank you for all the work you have done on this beautiful website. It's a good work that you do where many and many people benefit greatly from...

Please continue to keep me in your prayers... I will continue to lean on you and draw comfort from your friendship!

Thank you!

Cornell
