Been a good few weeks since I've had time to come on here:)

Been training at bus barn to get my CDL B, will be taking my CDL test next week! On the downside has been stressful with ex quitting one of her jobs prompting my family putting pressure on me to work 2 or 3 jobs at one time like I have in the past (something for my OWN SAFETY I will not do unless I am my boss). Still have not heard back on disability/SSDI.

On the downside have found myself in a few bad spots. Other day she went off on me all day, found myself drunk within a 1/2 hour and passed out on the floor within a few hours. On the upside pills are doing their job for the most part.

RG,

So glad that you are training in a new direction! This will get you out of the heat and triggering environment you were previously dealing with, right? Great news...and keep up the good work!

Sorry to hear that the personal stuff has not improved for you. All you can do is take care of yourself and your son to the best of your abilities for now.

I too overindulged at a Girl's Night Out and payed for it the next day! I felt horrible, and it kicked my anxiety up. We don't find ourselves this way...it's a choice...and a bad one. Try not to repeat that again! ;p

Glad your meds are working! Keep working on coping skills too...to keep your anxiety levels as low as possible.

Let us know how your test goes...I am sure you will rock it out!

Peace and progress!

Hi RG

Thanks for checking in.

Good luck on your test next week.

Sorry to hear you are still having personal problems as SC mentioned is all you can do is take care of yourself. I am pleased to hear the medication is helping you that is good news but try not to mix them with to much alcohol as it will impact you harder.

A lot better on the environment. All the buses ain't got AC but no were close to 125F in those yellow twinkies lol. As for the drinking seems to cool my anxiety. Dunno why but it just does, was just so tired of hearing her nag about my past throwing it up in my face that I had to quit a job.

Pretty confident on my test...little nervous about the skills test backing but doing way better than I was when I first started. Did it perfect my first shot other day and kept nailing it over and over again.

Keep going with your behind the wheel skills! I know you can pass this, no problem...

...just be sure and use your calming coping skills so your nerves don't get the best of you. :)

Let us know how it goes...it's this coming week, yes?

Good luck!!

This wends. For most part think it'll be mentioning every little detail how the DOT wants it put (order of operations, etc).

Passed the test still waiting on my DOT card going to a different place tomorrow for the card, employer agreed to remburse since other workers have had issues with the first doctor.
