Phyciatrist appt this morning and having a hard time getting out of the house....

Aw DS,

I am so sorry you are stuggling currently!! :(

I do hope that you were able to get to your appointment...or at least call and explain that you were suddenly unwell, and able to reschedule?

I hope that you can talk about your increased anxiety soon, and come up with a plan to help you through this challenging time.

Let us know how it went and how you are doing when you can!

S.C.

I made it to my appointment, and felt really great that I did. I explained to my pdoc about my spring anxiety and she didn't want to change my prescriptions or bump it up ( been there done that ) no help. So she said to take my Lorazapan as needed, that most people take it up to three times a day every day. Wow, I didn't know that and I'm still afraid to take it. She tryed to convince me that anxiety and depression is no different that someone who has diabetes, you need meds to care for it.

She also said that morning anxiety is very very common. I also asked her how other patients explain their anxiety symptoms and she said, faint feeling, nausea, stomach pain, chest pressure, tiredness, palps. Whew, I feel normal now. It's funny how that little bit of reassurance helped me. I will be starting therapy next week again, but this time it will not be about my stressors with my mother, but about my anxiety and agoraphobia.

Hi

Well done on getting to your appointment and I am glad it well.

That is good news that you are starting therapy as I feel you will find that really useful keep us updated with your progress.
