kind of decent i was off anti depressants for a while now , but my family doctor looked at my patterns and told me that i would have tp get back to staloplam plus (Clonazepam (0.5mg) + Escitalopram Oxalate (10mg)). i was on his in 2018 to early 2019 and then had stopped
My heart races at times but generally hopefuly calming down ...sudden incidents seem amplified i dunno difficult to explain
an incident related to my daughter triggered it i guess

Broke things off with my partner last week. She called yesterday and laid into me pretty good. I don’t know why I answered the phone. Was some of it deserved? Maybe. My friend took 3-4 hours of his time to talk with me about it. I hope I’m not leaning on him too much.

I’ve again concluded that I really don’t like myself. I can’t seem to make major decisions without talking to someone or getting many different opinions. I need constant attention and validation. I don’t want to be alone with my thoughts. There always has to be noise, but I hate noise at the same time.

I made a therapy appointment for Thursday, but it had to be moved to next Monday. I’m impressed with this practice so far. I’m a first timer, but they have chat support and other perks. I’m paying $39.99/mo. for these extras, but if they can help, it pays for itself. They have therapists and psychiatrists under the same roof so everyone will be on the same page.

Hi Everyone!!!

Been kind of spring like weather but the last couple of days have been windy. Makes it seem colder.

But the sun was out today so that was a plus.

***Smooth,
I just wanted to say that I think it is normal to want other people's opinions on things. Often we need what we call and objective eye. Somebody who is not in the situation who can see things more for what they are. So I don't think it is strange or weak or whatever to get the opinion of another person. I guess I just don't want you to feel you have a problem. When you seem completely normal to me. So cut yourself some slack.

I hope you and everybody else has a good day. Thanks Hibee for starting the thread.

Hugs, Karen...

hello everyone! coming back after awhile, this place was so helpful when i was dealing with my last bout of health anxiety 3 years ago! 2 weeks ago i had a bad relapse and my healthy anxiety was triggered big time. was using xanax .25 mg and .5 mg to keep calm, but finally saw a psychiatrist 4 days ago. started .25 mg of zoloft, as i have used it in the past. trying very hard to keep calm. using .25 mg xanax to help with night time anxiety before bed. today is day 4 on zoloft and i'm having side effects. but the weirdest side effect today is a flushed face, don't remember that one! anyways, nice to see everyone, and hope for this place to be of comfort again!

Hi Mamabear22,

Do you think that the medication could be putting your blood pressure up, hence the flushed face? It probably wouldn't hurt to mention that side effect to the doc or nurse. Though you know yourself best.

I hope that the zoloft works well for you. Keep us posted.

Hugs, Karen...

PS getting my covid vaccine tomorrow.
