Morning Folks


How has your week been? Check in if you have the time we like to hear from you.

I have had a good week I went into the city yesterday and it was really busy so my anxiety was running high but I stuck with it and the anxiety passed and ended up having a good night.

Hibee

Doing a little bit better. Myself, my mom and my aunt got a tummy bug. I hope no one else gets it. It has been almost 10 days so here is hoping.

I am glad that the trip was a good one Hibee and I am glad that you could ignore the anxiety and make it fun.

anxiety still high, waiting for this zoloft to kick in....

Started off in a bad place a week ago, after a relapse. Constant anxiety, twice a day 1mg lorazepam, and frequent panic attacks. Was returning to some old agoraphobic tendencies, as well. Worked diligently on stress reduction, daily, throughout the week, and am feeling far better now. Not out of the woods, so to say, but seeing positive results. The anxiety still hits from time to time each day, but I'm two days without lorazepam, and haven't had any more full blown panic attacks.

Hello all,

Tichwa- I am sorry that your meds are out. I am always worried I may run out of mine. I don't as I always make sure I have plenty, but still a worry for me. I am glad that you are doing better though. Good job! Stay well.

Mamabear- I am sorry that your anxiety is high. I hope it all comes down soon hun.


I am anxious again, my niece has the tummy bug we have had here after everyone else has been well for a few days. I feel so bad for her. She has the tummy issue where we didn't we only had bathroom issues. My levels are not too high but elevated, they are also up due to the antibiotic I am on and my cycle. So things will be back to normal soon, I hope.


Stay strong all

Hey Dawn,

I appreciate your response. I worded my post poorly - I have meds available, but haven't had to take any the past two days after a week of daily use!

That's unfortunate about your niece, but hopefully she'll be on the mend in no time. Here's to hoping you're anxiety is reduced, and you're back to normal, soon.

Feeling okay at the moment. Spent the last two days working outside rebuilding my deck. Been an up and down week after increasing my Remeron. Anxiety has been a little higher this week because of it.

Glad you had a fun night out Hibee.
Dawn, I hope your family gets clear of the big soon.
Tichwa, glad you're improving.
Mamabear, it's no fun waiting for the meds, is it?

I'm so sorry many of you are struggling. I hope this week gets better.

I got a lot done today. I moved into a new place 3 months ago with about 40 boxes of my stuff. My new house is very very small. It's been a frustrating process going through my things, sorting, keeping, getting rid of, and ripping of boxes. I'll work more on the house tomorrow.

Titchwa- I am glad you have meds, if they are really needed I would take them. I hope you feel better soon.

Rspwed- You have been a busy bee I am sorry your meds are effecting your anxiety I hope you feel better soon.

Superdan- I hope that you feel better soon. Mania is horrible as I used to get that as well before my meds got worked out. I hope it all levels out soon.

Country- I am glad you got a lot done today with your new place. I know how long it can take for the getting it gone through. Don't over do it. Make it as fun as you can.

HT- I am glad you are still here. Rest and use your tools my Turtle friend.

Things are getting better on my end. I cannot wait to increase my Zoloft more to kill off this last bit of anxiety I'm still going through.

I feel although the anxiety is better and getting more manageable, I'm still suffering a bit of heightened anxiety due to the Xanax tapering. I've tapered down to 1 mg from 1.5 so far. Next week I take it down again to 0.75 mg.

Going through some withdrawal symptoms - depersonalization, sweats and chills, some vomiting (I can't distinguish whether it's my usual morning vomit session or the withdrawal), a little bit of dizziness and a head fog.

The good news is, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I definitely feel like I'll be back to myself once I'm completely off the Xanax and on the full dosage of Zoloft. Hanging in there the best I can!

anxious scientist, sometimes that is all you can do. Hang in there and post to us. Post and venting is always a good thing.

I"m doing ok, not great but ok. I've been fighting a depression. Had a therapy appt yesterday and she gave me some suggestions on how to fight it. I won't go into details but some of you know I had a rough 2016. 17 has some residual effects but I'm doing ok. Just hanging in there the best I can. smile

Sitting here checking the board and I look up and my 6 year old is standing there with a fistful of underwear.

"Ella, what are you doing?"

"Giving myself a wedgie. Duh."

Thanks for the laugh Rspwed...that's one for the WTF file.

These are some of my favorite parental moments...

Lol-ing,

S.C.
