I woke up with anxiety!!!!! This sucks sad

Last time I attempted to give you advice all of it was about thinking your way through. Which you can't exactly do when you just wake up with it. Now I feel pretty silly. I mean DUH! This is absolutely horrible!!!!!!! Yuck.

Have you tried Bach flower remedies. Rescue remedy is great. There are many others for certain anxieties. If you go to there website it explains them.
Also St. John wart is good;)
Sorry you are going through this. :)

I haven't tried anything but my own will power for anxiety. I've always just trudged through it. But man, waking up feeling panicked like that is a heck of a way to start the day.

It was nice knowing that there was someone here on the forum that could understand. Really, some things you just don't get until you're there. And I have to admit I didn't understand fully what utahgal was going through until it happened to me. Thinking back, as sincere as I tried to be, I now see that my advice to her was just useless before.

So utahgal- I'm sorry for not getting it before but I do now! I'm so sorry that you've been dealing with this for so long! You must be a trooper because this really really sucks.

Your advice and support is not useless. You were kind and thoughtful to try and help me.

It really is the worst symptom. I wake with it every day! Yesterday was bad. Today is a little better so far.

All I can do is take my Xanax and try to rest or read on my iPad. I'm pretty much useless otherwise. I hope it's just a herx and goes away for good soon!

So sorry that you have to endure it now too. Did you start any new meds or supplements that may have triggered it?

I took a week break from my antibiotics and started them up about....3 days ago? All of my supplements are the same. Yuck yuck and YUCK! My doctor said to expect 10-14 bad days at the worst since he took me off of them.

it only lasted about an hour, I'm feeling a lot better. It's still there kind of tugging at me but I feel like I have a good hold on it now. Anxiety used to be a huge issue for me, and I guess it still is. I'm just a professional at handling it now! Waking up with it sure does change the way it effects you though.

Check out bachflower.com.
They are so gentle and really help.
Other thing that help my daughter and me is our Biomat.
It's kind of pricey. Be in the long run really helps. Also with detox too.
Good detox bath. Epsom salt, 10 drops lavender essential oil. And baking soda.
Hope you feel better soon.

What is a biomat?

And where can I buy the lavender essential oil?

I had outrageous anxiety and was put on a fairly high dose of Xanax. When it's out of control, there's nothing like it! I couldn't do a single thing without going through a full on panic attack first. I eventually was able to switch over to a tincture that helped me the most though.

And compassion goes a long way, IHL!! But you are really wonderful to post an apology like that!!

((((((hugs)))))) to both of you!!!

CaliLyme, I've heard of others that have found relief with those products as well. I'm really glad they work for you.

A biomat is a mat filled with amethyst and it heats up. They are thousands of dollars! One of my doctors has one and every appointment she has me lay on and do cranial sacral therapy as we have the rest of my appointment. It's sooooo nice. I'd buy one if I was rich and sleep on it every night!

Is lorazepam xanax? Or alprozam? I have a few things in my cupboard for anxiety and have never taken them. Maybe I will try it sometime. I just completely forget about them!

Oooh! I want a biomat! That sounds so nice. I also want a sauna and an ionic foot bath. I better start playing the lottery! Lol.

Yes. That med you asked about is Xanax.
