Having a bad day

[rich12123]

I'm having a really bad day and the axiety makes it so much worse. I feel like this will never end.

I'm having a bad day too. I'm with you fever, chills, sweating all over, muscles aches, & joint pain. 1 ulcer. I feel your pain!

im sorry to hear that

It will end.. drink chamomile tea all day I make a tall ice water I put a tea bag in and I step on it I just keep adding water. If you don't already have it get some lavender essential oil I use it when I deep breathe I'll also put a little on my hands rub them together and then wipe them on my pillow. All of this helps trust me. I also recently started AA... I'm not an alcoholic nor am I an addict but I believe wholeheartedly in the steps. I'm working with the Sponsor and it helps because to a certain degree my Anxiety takes over my life and my life becomes unmanageable I'm not saying it's for everyone but it's worth a shot

Hi rich,

Another tough day, huh? How's your treatment going? Are you making any progress?

I'd sure like to hear that you're getting better, no matter how slowly, wouldn't you?

Was today a rough day at work? Then added to that your anxiety kicked in? I know it gets old really fast. Living with anxiety beyond what's normal is like living an extra day's worth of struggle. You got through 24 hrs., but you struggled 48 hrs.' worth. You're tired and want a break. I sure hope you get that break.

I can sympathize but I'm glad I'm treated for my GAD and I wouldn't want to go backwards in time, no way. I've had the same counselor for 16 years and now she's like a best friend except I pay her. Big exception there, but she's worth it. She always gives me extra time, and tells me how she enjoys seeing me in a way that is honest. She's been a fantastic help. Good old CBT therapy but I didn't know what it was called until lately. I hope you can find someone like her for yourself. Take care of yourself, please.

hello sueSz its good to hear you have gotten better but unfortunately i am not. I have been this way for the past two years and nothing has changed. The anxiety causes me to get horrible nausea which makes it so I can't go anywhere, so I havent really been able to do any kind of therepy and cant really handle the medicine. Also I am an emetephobic so this just makes everything even worse and puts me in a viscous cycle which makes everything seem hopeless, but it helps a little know theres people like you understand how I feel and care and try to help and im glad for that.

[BonnieSue in reply to rich12123]

Rich, no, I don't want that for you! It's like you're boxed into a corner. It absolutely stinks!

Is there another way to take your medicine? Surely your Dr. can think of one. I can actually dissolve clorazepate in my mouth without water and the taste is barely anything. Would that help?

If we keep looking, there might be ways to get you better. Your anxiety has focused itself conveniently on emetophobia to prevent you from progressing out of your problems and you need to declare war on this and find a way OUT. What do you think about any of these possibilities?

[rich12123 in reply to BonnieSue]

I never knew about that I will ask a doctor when I see one thank you

Hey don't worry too much. I know exactly how you feel. I had anxiety symptoms for a few weeks and they are honestly not the best symptoms! You're not alone don't worry keep smiling

[rich12123 in reply to Sidrah28]

thanks and i hope things get better for you too

[Sidrah28 in reply to rich12123]

Thank you Hun hugsss

I had one of those yesterday- Actually joining this forum and getting a nice email from someone helped a little- I also gave myself a well deserved rest.

It does feel like that when I'm suffering with anxiety too like a hole that's nearly impossible to get out of, but I feel more hopeful today- I think the long sleep helped me a lot- I hope your day gets better!

[rich12123 in reply to Littlem80]

well im glad you found something that helps you and I hope I can too

[Littlem80 in reply to rich12123]

I hope you can too- I'm in contact with a therapy centre and am arranging a first meeting at the moment- I want to take the plunge and get some tools to help myself!

[rich12123 in reply to Littlem80]

Hi do you also feel your palpitations in your throat? I have had these for a month now, dr gave me 50mg of atenolol but it's not helping 😞I'm so tired of feeling like this!

[rich12123 in reply to Normal63]
