I am sick to death of this dang anxiety… I literally have tried all that I can think of to not allow myself to overthink! I hate that I am my worst enemy.. that lump in my chest and throat to the point I can’t even swallow. It comes in waves and more often than I’d like. As I write I feel a little better.

Blugirl76, please let me know what your doctor says tomorrow.

I wish you well. I care xx

It's going to be okay x

Many physical illnesses change brain & body chemistry, as do meds. (This may be the cause of the anxiety & depression.)

I don’t know why psychiatrists & psychologists don’t require a full medical evaluation by primary dr, before treating anxiety & depression with pills & therapy!

I fully understand!! My anxiety has gone overboard and I overthink and go to the worse case scenario and it makes it even worse! I don’t have a current dr and trying to figure out who to go to overwhelms me so I don’t get anything accomplished. I did get in contact with my former therapist and have an appt for Sat, but even that seems so long from now when I’m overwhelmed with so much! Hang in there and hope all goes well at your appt!

I understand, my anxiety comes in waves too.

Please try to be more kind to yourself. Give yourself some grace. You seem to be being hard on yourself.

I suggest coping skills like grounding techniques, or try binaural beats, my coping skills have helped me in my darkest hour.

If writing helps, continue to write it all out! We're always here and you can release and vent all you want!

Sending light your way ✨️

Alot of depression meds cause me anxiety. Having it today. I just started rexulti and seems like it's increased my anxiety. Think I will take a fourth of a hydroxyzine and have a cup of chamomile. Tried a lot of coping already but still on edge.

Same here Marysblue . Damn meds meant to help end up causing issues we totally don't have room for. Chamomile helps for sure.

[Agora1 in reply to Marysblue]

Hi Marysblue, enjoy that hot relaxing cup of Chamomile tea in a comfortable

chair with a blanket around you if necessary.

Bring your shoulders down away from your ears and breathe.

Sometimes, even those of us who know what to do need a little

encouragement including myself. Sending you calming thoughts. xx

venting your thought can be a good stress reliever. I can relate to overthinking. I’ve tried so many things to try and distract myself but sometimes it doesn’t help. Something that may help is doing breathing exercises. It can help decrease your anxiety if it becomes overwhelming.
