In a local facility all inmates are required to converse with their lawyer via monitor and within ear shot (a few feet) of a correction officer.

I've been sober for about 2 months now, and everyone told me it'll get better, but it's the exact opposite for me. I hated life before, but now it's worse. I've lost any personality I had, which wasn't much to share to begin with, as I suffer from CPTSD, agoraphobia, GAD, MDD, and probably a bit on the spectrum. I was told that I would probably become more social, however a bit of alcohol would get me to the store (I don't drive and never drove inebriated) and back without a full blown anxiety attack, and I could somewhat talk to people if I had to. Another wonderful downfall is that I can't sleep for sht anymore. I use to, but that's out the window now. And my anxiety literally causes numbness in my hands worse than it ever did before. Also, although I can't sleep, I'm lethargic as opposed to before when I'd have it in me to clean or do something useful. And this isn't my first time, every time I've stopped has been the same. Even my psych Dr has come to terms that it may be somewhat beneficial for me, while also acknowledging it is harmful. Anyways, I'm not putting this here to discourage anyone from their goals, and you're awesome for sticking to it. I'm just trying to cope and wondering if someone has some tips. Because my current situation dictates that I don't drink..

Getting my upper wisdom teeth pulled next week. I guess I'm a bit lucky though as they aren't impacted, are fully grown out, and I wasn't born with bottoms. However, I'm basically an eating, breathing, shitting version of the DSM. They're giving me Ativan to calm my agoraphobia and GAD, but my CPTSD won't allow me to be knocked out, as I have to feel situationally aware. I'm worried that I won't even make the appointment because I've ran out of them before. This is probably a bad idea to post, but give me the good, the bad and the fugly; as well as any tips that might help..

In two weeks I'll be going in to have 3 teeth removed. This will be a first for me, as the depression and bruxism from anxiety have finally taken their toll. Now I'm spiraling down a hole where I'm afraid I'll never be attractive to anyone again. I mean, I've never really thought I was that attractive anyway, despite others saying the opposite; but now that self image will be set in stone, and the depression exacerbated. Luckily they're back teeth, for now, but eventually, and probably fairly soon, they'll all need to be gone.. In total it's a really depressing addition to an already lifelong struggle with mental health conditions, and I really wonder if I want to keep doing this. I already feel like I've lived way too much for way too long as it is anyways..

I know the wheels of justice are slower than molasses on an igloo, and that there's different rules for different states. I was just curious if the DA has a certain amount of time to respond (in general) once a motion to withdraw a guilty plea has been filed?
