Hello

Hello my friends how are we today? Hope all is well.

Hey, I'm feeling anxious today, woke up with that feeling in my stomach, it's like when you miss your step on the stairs, but constant fear of nothing.

I was doing good for a few months off of my meds.

Now I scared I'm going back down hill

It's so hard when you have children to look after.....

How's things with you?

[Espinoza38 in reply to jjroads]

I'm having an anxiety attack as we speak. It started like an hour ago after work and it seems to go away but then it comes back. I'm doing my best to not let it beat me. I dont want to take a xanax

[jjroads in reply to Espinoza38]

Something I've been trying lately when having negative thoughts is saying cancel in your head and smiling it apparently changes the chemicals in your brain to release serotonin

It's definitely helped me get to sleep while panicking.

Also visualising yourself somewhere happy it takes a bit of practice but has helped....

[Espinoza38 in reply to jjroads]

I agree with the visualization of a good happy place.

Yes fine Espinoza,

Been to see my GP today, they are starting to reduce my medications

Than you for asking, I have been taen away for a few days out in the countryside so I can have peace and reduce of my Opiates. More in pain at the moment I am now rearranging when I take my medications so I will be able to balance the final reductions

I used to take eight Tramadol a day when needed I am down now to four single tablets a day, this will drop to three a day very soon. My Wife has been instructed to try and reduce this week to three a day, I will be off the drugs completely by Christmas

In quite a bit of pain, although the B12 and D3 does help

Thanks for asking

BOB
