Even the smallest things...

...feel impossible to do lately... It's as if I've almost completely shut down and this is so unlike me. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I'm beyond petrified that I won't be able to control my thoughts and anxiety...My stomach is in knots - help! Tips? Suggestions? A virtual hug?

Hello - is anyone out there? *Crickets chirping*

Can you get more time off work? Have you seen your doctor lately and gotten on a new medication even a benzo to take the major anxiety down? Sorry lady, wish I could be of more help.

Unfortunately I can't take anymore time off unless it was unpaid, which I can't afford. Haven't seen my doc lately but am experiencing severe dizziness today and anxiety from the Fluoxetine. I'm going to have to see if I can call tomorrow to get an appointment.

Ya definitely you need to get back to the doctor. I know the dizziness and anxiety, many days I couldn’t drive much less actually work.

It's frightening - I almost fell out of bed this morning! It's weird since I've been on it before and most recently - I've been taking it for almost a month without this severe of a reaction

Good idea to see your doctor. Best to you 💕

[KristinK67 in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you both. I wish there was an easy answer to managing the stress, depression and anxiety.

[Starrlight in reply to KristinK67]

So true I wish too. I feel like since we are all a little different it’s hard to find an exact cure. It’s a real search. I have tools to help cope but the struggle is still here. I do feel blessed though because I’ve recieved improvement.

I can relate to meds messing with you and sometimes even ones that have worked in the past later on cause only trouble. So weird.
