Sorry I haven't been posting lately, my kids started school and I have been busy with them.

However, my anxiety started acting up yet again yesterday morning, waking up with the racing heart, just feeling overall anxious, feel like I am shaky inside of my body, like I want to jump out of my skin, and feeling sad like I want to cry, but I have no idea why.

I am still taking my Effexor, Klonopin and Trazodone, haven't missed any doses and haven't changed anything...so my question is, why does this keep happening to me?

I am getting so frustrated and I want to feel like my old self again, for good and not have these spells, if that is what you call them.

I miss you guys and really need some encouragement right now.

Thanks everyone.

I'm sorry that you're having a rough time right now!

Try not to stress out over being stressed out, though. (Easier said than done, I know.) If you've been having some good stretches and some bad stretches, hopefully the good stretches will keep getting longer and the bad stretches shorter, until these issues are a memory.

In the meantime, work on your coping mechanisms, keep taking your medicine regularly (good job, btw, I always miss doses here & there) and know that you'll continue to improve.

The back to school change probably has you a little extra wired right now, but things will soon fall into routine...

Hugs!

Hi SM,

I am sorry that you had a bad day yesterday.  I know how that feels.  It is not only going through the awful symptoms, but then the accompanying feelings of dissapoinment that 'it' is back.;(

Tommorw will be better, and as you go along, accepting that the occasional bad day(s) will become easier.  My bad days are few and far between for now, and when one sneaks in, I know that it is the exception now, not the rule...and I can let it go, and it loses its power...and I gain more!;p

You are getting there...everyday is progress!

S.C.

I have missed you Silky, yes sometimes we have a bump in the road, but keep on driven the road is
better up ahead. The part that sux is a couple of bad days remind us of the hell we use to live in, just
keep pushin, don't let the anxiety slow you down and it will let up again. Peace!

Thank you all for the encouragement, I really needed it and am thankful to have all of you. Yeah, the bad days are hard and after having good days, it makes them that much worse.

I tell myself that they will pass and I will feel better again soon, but those bad days go so slow for me. I just wish they could all be good days with no anxiety at all.

I have missed you too, Larry, as well as everyone else. I hope you are all having good days as I need to catch up on here!

Love you all. Thank you again.

So I thought today would be a better day, but boy was I wrong! The anxiety has not gone away at all. I am not having actual anxiety attacks (and praying that I don't), but the constant state of anxiety is really starting to get to me. You would think that my Klonopin, which I take 3 times a day would knock it down some, and it hasn't. I am starting to wonder if it is all anxiety or possibly something else??

What else would you need Darlin? Don't expect the prescriptions to do it all. you will need to find some
methods to distract your self, You will get it done! I Love You too Kid! Peace

Leah,

Oh no! I hope you are okay...both anxiety wise and from the scare of almost wrecking. They pick the dandiest times to hit us, don't they? How are you feeling now?

I hope your anxiety subsides. You are ok and glad you see it as anxiety. Maybe due to the kids going to school? i know my daughter just left for college and my anxiety is huge. Try and keep busy and we are always here if you need to talk.
