I want the feelings to stop. I want to stop feeling like I need to run to the hospital. It’s getting frustrating. My symptoms always are changing up which may be a good sign. Just getting frustrated with everything like maybe I should try to get on a low dose of something.
yes I’ve taken more Xanax. It just feels like I’m stuck in survival mode
I understand it must be really tough 🫂
It’s hard , but I think yes maybe a regular low dose of meds could help you a lot but it takes a while to get into your system to help so you have to stick with them.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets that feeling of wanting to go to the hospital.
Why do you want to run to the hospital?
Does your Dr let you take Xanax long term? I’m asking cuz I take Ativan and she said I need to get off soon which freaks me out.
I developed health anxiety during Covid. For the longest time I thought every little runny nose, plugged nose, slight headache, cough meant I was coming down with Covid. That anxiety didn't go away for about 2 1/2 years. After it went away I developed insommnia, which, through therapy, I discovered was due to suppressed anxiety. I didn't like the way benzos made me feel, and I was worried about the potential for addiction. I resisted taking an antidepressant, but it has done wonders for my anxiety and I am now sleeping well most nights. I think part of my poor sleep is due to aging (61 years old). My therapist was very persistent and had me try many different types of medications until I hit on one that worked. I'm glad I did.
