I don't really remember what part I'm on, but I just wanted to give everyone an update- I decided not to take any RX's YET... me and my dr actually decided together that we would try a psychiatrist before medicine. You see, when I was little my father was a meth addict and my mom has been addicted to RX pills since I was 11- vicodin, OC, soma, you name it, she has it. I am now almost 21. I see that addiction runs in my family and I'm just nervous. If I could try a different road first, then I will. I much rather prefer to be safe then sorry. I know that it might not help my problem go away, and if I have to take a RX, then I will- I just need to know that I have tried everything possible before I resort to a pill to make me function normally.
Aside from that, everything else seems to be going good. Me and my bf talked about me talking to someone to help my problems- he is actually convinced that I am already on anti-depressants, but I assured him that I AM NOT. I should probably just tell him that the reason I'm not is because I am scared of addiction. Not like I have ever abused pills or any other substance, just a precaution. I actually don't even enjoy alcohol- which bring me to my next topic...
I'm turning 21 in about a week (yay!) and I was going to go to Vegas (cliche), but I'm not necassarily into gambling- or at least I don't think I will be- I don't really like to get beligerent and I'm not too much for partying anymore, so maybe someone can give me an idea of something to do to celebrate? I'm in southern Cali, BTW.
Anti depressants are NOT addictive. Once again, lose the BF!
Drive up to wine country, ALONE meaning no BF. The have some fun.
Get addicted to alcohol now. One you are an alcoholic, you will lose the desire for drugs.

Something weird and sober... Riding with the Police in the 'sin-city'?
Spending $5 (top limit) in every casino you can manage to get into in one night-the trick would be to leave once you have spent that money, so even if you win after spending that initial fiver you leave... don't forget to take your winings with you and leave your losses behind. You would be there to hit as many casinos as you possible.
What is HDIGH please?
Antidepressants are not addictive, but good for you anyway for taking steps to help yourself to overcome your depression. The dragonlady is very proud of you!
I'm not into marathon drinking or gambling, myself. I went to Las Vegas in 2000 for a family reunion; I tried a little bit of slot machine gambling, but talk about boring! I just don't see the appeal of putting coins in slots and pulling a lever, hoping to get some of those coins back. We really had a good time just walking around, taking in the sights and the free shows. Being from the east coast, we took a day trip to Death Valley, which was just...stunning. We also made the 10 hour round trip to spend a few hours at the Grand Canyon, and it was well worth it. You can also visit Hoover Dam, which is (forgive me) pretty "dam" impressive.

Anywho, I dont see the slot machine "appeal" either- the only thing that interested me was a cross dressing burlesque show- sounded interesting to me, but the bf seems appauled, haha.

Grand Canyon sounds great, so does the dam. I am so jealous now. Hope you have a fun and happy birthday over there.
And thank you for the 'how did i get here' translation.
