Really getting tired of this

[Frogeyes]

I have very recently started having panic attacks. I have been on Buspirone 15mg 2x daily for about 6 weeks and feel like I need to increase. I have now realize that I’m afraid of everything. I used to be a strong independent person, now I can’t stand to be alone, I’m fearful about doing things I once’s loved (horse back riding, vacationing, hiking). I can’t sleep without an aide and even then the sleep is absolute crap. I’ve been eating right, I started working out again, and see a therapist once a week, but I don’t think things are getting better. At some point do I just get used to this, or I do I just tap, meditate, hold ice, breathe or 54321 myself into some form of my old self? Im so tried of being tired.

sorry if this comes off harsh but I’m obviously not dealing very well. I just need to vent 🙏🏻

i feel like if your medicine is not helping / making it worse you should not quit cold turkey and lower the dosage with your doctors discretion

It sounds like you have some good comping techniques. Not getting good sleep will throw things off way more than we tend to realize. I realize how hard it is to confront our fears but through them is our way forward into something nicer. Be sure to give yourself the time you need to become more the person you want to be. You are doing a lot right

To me, it sounds like your medication isn't working right. I say, talk to your provider. There's no problem in finding the right med. Hug
