So I'm now at the end of the rope for bad things happening in succession. 3 weeks ago I got word my dad would never see home again, had to file for bankruptcy due to medical bills, my wife was in a car accident with my 14 month old son and a woman at work files a bogus complaint on me with HR, so now my job of 5 years is probably going to get terminated. My anxiety has shot through the roof and all the techniques i have been using so effectively have no stopped helping and I can't afford to go to the Dr to get a few anxiety pills to help. So here I am hoping for some chit chat to help me along a little.

C.,

Oh man...when it rains it pours, right? I am really sorry to hear all that you are going through.

Of course you are feeling stressed right now. It is a normal situational response. As things settle/start to calm down again, the struggle will lessen.

One thing that can be helpful is journaling...venting the challenges...and also noting the positive things in your current situation. It may seem that all is against you atm...

...but if you make a list, you'll see the good outweighs the bad.

Keep posting with us as welll. We will be here with encouragement and understanding.

Thanks S.C. Unfortunately I've already been doing the journaling and it isn't helping either. A friend of mine takes Xanax .25 mg and offered me a couple to help but my pill phobia has kicked in and I'm scarred to take them even though I was on them a LONG time ago. My brain is doing all the what ifs right now even though I know deep down .25 is extremely low s dosage and the chances of anything going wrong is almost nill. I used to take ativan but seems that is harder to come by than Xanax. Sigh......

C.,

Have you talked to your dr. about getting your own, temporary, benzo Rx.?

This may relieve your apprehension about reinstating them...just for the time being, due to your unusuallly high stress level/situation.

It costs me a 100 bucks which I don't have to go see the Dr. He won't give a script over the phone.
