Weekly Check In

Up and down for me Hibee....Off work for recovery time after the op.. Was hoping to get back into it Wednesday , but an infection in one of wounds ... Has delayed this.
So even though I have been pretty upbeat... Some blooming health anxiety has crept in ... For which I could kick myself ....Well I actually swore at myself earlier .... its a blinking infection nothing more .... I say to my rational mind.🎅🎅🎅 Just got to convince the irrational mind 😀😁😂

After the last few weeks of panic attacks, terrible anxiety and a trip to the ER, I can actually say I am feeling myself. After being prescribed Clonazapam, taking it 2x a day for the last week, it absolutely did wonders for me. I have cut down to once a day and so far so good. No panic or anxiety attacks and all the nasty symptoms that go along with that. I have been doing breathing exercises and doing progressive relaxation. I am actually looking forward to Christmas at my son's and all the family. Last week, I said I wouldn't even go.
Only been a member a few weeks, but just reading and listening to others had really helped me. It truly has been a godsend for me.
Happy Holidays to everyone, stay strong, you will conquer this!!

Well, checking in I guess.
Not having too good of time, but been getting a bit better.
Had a good laugh on RWBY Chibi series haha. It actually made me feel better. No wonder laughter is called the best medicine
I feel like I'm starting to snap back bit by bit. Seems like it won't be easy, but I'm more than willing to stand and fight.

bad week for me. have broncitis and cant shake it. my regular dr no longer does family practice and i am in the middle of switching insurance plans as i had to downgrade to an hmo from a ppo. this means i can no longer go to any dr i want. but will be assighned a dr from an approved list. got bad news that my psa is way up and have to have a prostate biopsy. this triggered a major panic attack and i went straight for the klonopin today . feel totally drained from the attack

I would say I'm depressed this week along with some anxiety.

This time of year I feel overwhelmed with holiday cooking, cleaning, shopping, wrapping, trying to be
of good cheer. I have to ask for help a lot from my family. Why can't they just do things that need to be done?

So, I'm trying to be good to myself, sleep, relax, buy myself stuff and take a few more ativan then I normally would, which still is very limited.
