Hard headed and that's me 😁

Been suffering from chronic stress,anxiety to the highest level, severe head ache for 3weeks I guess now..The exedrin helps me a little..I'm avoiding taking my Xanax 😁 but I end up taking it anyway because I can't take it anymore.. The yoga helps me then after an hour stress came back. I'm just so being hard headed person.. I really don't want to take my Xanax til I will suffer enough then take it. My husband keep telling me I'm a hard headed person,won't deny it anyway 😁.. Right now, it's 12:30am now.cant sleep,took my Xanax now. Waiting to kick in so that I can get a good night sleep.. I am dreaming and wishing to have a very good night sleep tonight,, please my dear God help me to have a peaceful mind.. Looking for a good pillow too lol, any recommendations for where to buy a good pillow my loving HW family? Been searching for it.. Sorry for the long message,, just want to let out what I feel.. Thank you for reading 😊

Hey Bik!

I am a fellow hard headed person with anxiety; luckily mine hasn't affected my sleep pattern. I have been thinking a lot lately if I am being too hard on myself; my fiance says similar things about me being stubborn and also things like "don't let the anxiety control you." Everyone is different, and you should not be ashamed for waiting until you cannot manage your symptoms to take the medication. What works for one person, may not work for another.

I have been in the emergency room twice in the last few months and have had several panic attacks at home, yet am not comfortable enough relying on medication again. This is a relapse for me after being panic free for over 3 years; I was prescribed Klonopin before and it helped me, but eventually it stopped working. I'm currently going back and forth and find myself saying "if the panic gets any worse, I'm going to take a pill", yet I never do. I sometimes wonder if it would be easier to just take a pill, but eventually I calm down enough that I gain control again.

I find that I can relax if I create an routine in the evening using yoga as well as guided meditation. Do you enjoy tea? Some times just taking a mindful moment to enjoy a cup is enough to help me to gain control. Long warm baths also help my achy muscles from being so stressed; I also add a cup of Epsom salt.

Hope all is well and that you have a wonderful Saturday.
