I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking. I saw my counselor on Monday and she really helped me feel better about things. I basically went in like "how in the world did I just throw everything away at the drop of a hat" and she was very re-assuring that I did no such thing and that I can get back on track. I'm starting back weekly with her and will be starting back with psychiatry as well. It's been pretty easy to not drink or take the percocet these past few days because of work. I have always been able to separate the two and stay sober when I know I have to work. I have a lot of anxiety though about my upcoming off days.

I also have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow related to continued dizziness after the car accident and I'm very nervous about that due to claustrophobia. My doctor wouldn't give me anything sedating because I don't have anyone to drive me. I understand her reasoning but in my mind I've driven on xanax before so it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. But I also don't want to add another medication that can be addicting. So I'll just have to see how it goes. Unfortunately open MRI is not covered by my insurance.
