Hi everyone. So I am pretty sure my Meds are effecting my mood already. I remember from years back how much I used to yawn when I was taking Zoloft. We all know how the waves of anxiety come and go. It seems to me that my anxiety has downshifted to a dull ache. Mornings are still the worst part of my day. Its funny how at 10 o'clock at night I can review my predicament with total calm.. but at 8 in the morning it brings on that dull under tow of anxiety. This to me is the frustrating part of being (sick).I understand that night time brings the day to an end.I have nothing to do but watch TV and sleep. Where the morning brings a full day and the struggle have a (normal day) Until I can crawl back into bed and the solace of the evening power down.
I do feel a little under the influence of the Paxil which bothers me... as I know I am being chemically manipulated. (Well my brain is) So for me this has always been the challenge. Being a very stubborn person who dislikes being told what to do. I struggle with the use of Meds. But Its only been two days since my (mini breakdown) So I have to remember that I am still recovering from that.. Wishing you all good mental health..Much Love xSteve

Hi Steve , oh that's great news x I'm glad they have worked so fast, even though your anxiety is still present a dull ache is easier to work with than a full on panic x I'm the opposite the mornings seem to pass with not much problem, the evenings are when it starts it's assault. I find doing things keeps me to busy to worry about anxiety, where in a night I'm often alone hubby n kids in bed and it gets to me x you are doing so well to try and win your battle I know it's not easy to have to rely on meds but sometimes, needs must xx donver xx
Yes I do feel a little hyper this morning I know its from the pills I can always reduce the dose if my Doc thinks that 10 mg is too much. My night time relief is a blessing I know I can shut down all other expectations During the day I feel I should be doing more but really I have covered all my basis, looking for work etc So I am kind of floating along... Its been suggested that I find a volunteering situation.. But not yet, I just need to work on my own issues for now Anyway its a lovely sunny day here (but cold) so I am off to the beach for a walk and a Chai Latte. Bless you Donver much love steve
Hi Steve.So glad to hear that your in a better place than you were a few days ago.
See how you go on your meds and if you feel it necessary ask the doc to reduce the dosage.Hope you enjoy your walk on the beach,and wishing you a calm and peaceful weekend. Anne xxxx
Hi LTG.. Yes the beach was nice. Seems colder than last spring .Thank you for you kind words.. I hope your weekend goes by with no issues as well. much love <3 steve
Hi Steve,
I am glad your mood has lifted a little, and your doing well and taking the med's.
I used to feel at my worse at night time. I loved to be up and out in the light of day.
I always struggled with the meds. The 2 years I fought the meds made me realize I was losing out on time and I finally accepted they were helping me live. Mornings were always the difficult times. Glad your better. This too shall pass. Sends you hugs knowing its a struggle. One which truly is hard to put in words.
