[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 695364, member: 19966"] Yes, I can see this in the example of him using the DXM and then telling me he did it because he was 'excited about the job interview'. I told him, '[I]ok, then [B]be[/B] excited...but I don't get the DXM use, that was not a good choice[/I].' He admitted '[I]I know.'[/I] :concern: No, not mean. There is a 'helpful' [I]mean[/I] and then there's a downright nasty [I]mean[/I]. It's not hard to decipher the 2. :playful: I come on here to get real input, not softened down, '[I]what I think the member wants to hear[/I]'. Lol. I'm not doing this detachment thing well, at ALL. In all seriousness, I am truly sucking at it! :cower: What ticks me off, is the fact that he is in a place, been in several places, for the past 4 months, but has not been unloading his 'stuff'. Now, granted this is his 1st time in rehab. I guess there's a learning curve. Yes, it certainly can. The night before he relapsed, he mentioned to me that he might get back on the propranolol - which the residential facility gave him at night before bed. Instead of going to the MD the next day, which was available to him, he decided to go and drink with the 2 other fresh new to his sober living house, buddies. Grr. He cannot take SSRI's. He says they make his mind race. Which, when this SSRI side effect happens, can be a sign of bipolar, I was told. But, his psychologist at the residential facility where he was for 45 days, said he did not see any 'outward' signs of that. Of course who knows if this decision is accurate, as son hides everything, from everybody. Tight-lipped. :concern: His therapist said he will need to reconsider taking something 'in the interim' while he can come to better grips with his anxiety. Sometimes we need some 'help'...something to take off the anxiety edge...so we can either use C B T, or get some temporary relief from the anxiety before we can get to a 'calmer' place in order to change our distorted ways of thinking.
