Staying the course

Hello everyone on here. Hoping everyone is doing well, during these trying times. I myself am going through a rough patch right now. I think my anxieties have been affected not just by the pandemic, but by everything’s that’s happened due to the pandemic. Maybe I’m repeating myself, lol. Anyways, I’m retired on a disability, been retired for almost 2 years now, which gives me the time to help my daughter with her online classes. Helping my daughter with her school work has definitely caused my anxieties to get worse. I know it’s hard for kids to be online, they get a bit anxious and they can’t sit still, but I guess it’s been triggering stress and anxiety. On top of that I’ve was taking Trintillex for quite sometime and I ran out about a month ago. I noticed that the last few weeks I’ve been feeling pretty anxious, restless, and nervous. I’m thinking that I’ve been feeling like this, 1- Pandemic,2-stopped the Trintillex suddenly, 3- helping my daughter with online classes. Somehow I’m thinking that the combination of the three things is causing the recent spike in my anxiety. Thank you for the support. SAMSON

Hi Samson, I think you are absolutely right in the 3 things causing your anxiety to spike.

I think the topper is stopping Trintillex suddenly. Each time this happens, it puts you in

a spiraling down effect causing anxiety and depression. How long before you are able to restart your medication?. And even when you do, you can't expect it to give you full comfort right away. Oh I'm so sorry.

Are you still able to exercise? Meditate? Deep Breathing? Right now you need those

extra positive boosts to counteract what you are feeling. I hope that you are able to calm

down some and feel some peace. Wishing you and your daughter well. :) xx
