Bummer to be posting....

Hey Friends-

Long time no post.

Today is really hard for me. It's that time of the month and as many of you know, I don't tolerate hormonal fluctuations very well.

I've also recently started a low dose of adderall to help my ADD and it has me a little wired but nothing I can't handle.

On top of these things, I'm pretty sure Starbucks gave me caffeine today and I haven't been able to calm down since and my heart rate has been around 95 which is very uncomfortable for me.

I'm just feeling insanely panicky today and nothin is helping. I've taken my xanax but it's only making me tired and not calm.

I guess I just needed to vent since I'm feeling really crappy.

Hi Park,
Sorry you're having a rough time. I'm struggling right now too so not mmuch I can think of to say. Using positive mantras has helped, like "I feel yucky now but it won't last. I will feel better soon".

Good luck!

So sorry it's been a tough day Park. Caffeine is out of your system after about 6 hours, so hopefully that passes quickly and you can try and relax in a hot bath or whatever feels good for you until it is fully metabolized.

Strength!

P.,

Sorry things were so rough. I hope you are feeling better now...

It sounds like 'the perfect storm' was happening today...and I am sure tomorrow will be an easier day.:)

S.C.

Sorry I hear you are having a rough day, Park. Ive been having a couple of rough days in a row and it's really starting to make me mad:(

Hang in there!!

Dear Park, don't get down on yourself it's just as normal to have a bad day as it is to have a good day,
roll with the punches and take a few swats at our enemy on the way, one thing i always realized when i felt good was that it was so hard to accept that tomorrow just might be wonderful,
I still carry my xanax even though i have only used two in the last three years, they are my back up strength and i am not ashamed to take one if i need it, you have come a long way since you first came here sometimes you might need to read about your worst days it will give you perspective, Peace, Prayers.

igm1942-thats execellent advice to carry a rescue med at all times. just knowing its there can stop an attack sometimes. sometimes i just place the bottle near me and just knowing its there can ward off a spell

It will get better, for you and everyone else,

In my studying of this subject nearly 50 years ago, a lot of people were treated in sanatoriums, some
got real good help and some didnt, they notices that both groups got better at the same rate, it was
just harder on some due to poor quality of treatment, Peace
