We have moved and I don't have the internet yet, so I am on my phone. I was COMPLETELY fine for two weeks, then I felt my tingly stuff coming back last Sunday. Rationally, I figured it was from the stress of leaving my old job, and the anxiety of starting a new one. I upped my Zoloft from 25 to 50, and I get bad jitters and shakes the first few days. I just want to scream!! Now after I get off work, my feet are swollen... I don't know why. I haven't worn heels in a while, and I have worn them my first two days, and we are sitting a lot, but it's weird to me. I feel there is really something wrong with me, this crawling feeling all over my body that comes and goes doesn't seem normal..

Hi Hanban,

Wow! You have a lot of new things happening now...

...new house, job...these are all huge changes, and even if they are positive, still stressors.

Be patient with yourself and the process of adjusting. :)

Your increase of meds sounds like it has brought on some s/e's, so increasing your coping skills will be just as valuable at this time.

I am sure your feet are swollen due to something absolutely benign. The shoes, or salt intake (have you been eating take-out more recently?) the pressure of moving heavy boxes or even the weather warming up!

Hoping that you get completely settled in and are feeling better really soon!

S.C.

You are NOT defeated. Anxiety cannot defeat you. You can defeat IT. It holds no power over you even though sometimes it can feel like it, it feeds off your fear. Try not to be afraid and just take some time to adjust. We are here for you.

Thank you all. I always feel better when I can get on here and talk to people like me. I can't a lot right now because if data with the phone blah blah. But I NEEDED to!

I haven't been eating a lot of salt, and I drink water continuously. They don't stay swollen for long and it's at the end of the work day, maybe for a few minutes. I bet it has something to do with sitting down from 8-5 with some breaks in between.

I truly love what you wrote here, and it's exactly what I needed to read! Thank you for the inspiration! I've never read something so true :)
