HELP

[Hawaii2012]

Recently, I just got home from Las Vegas and the whole time I suffered I was not able to relax. worry worry worry. Body aches, skin crawling, back aches. You name it I had it to include dry mouth (not a good thing to have with all the buffets etc), couldn't eat. What the heck can I do. Please help. This is ruining my life. I don't even want to leave the house or do anything. I take Zoloft but not as prescribed because I don't want the addiction. I don't what to do )...:

Hi there

I m sorry you re not doing very well..Zoloft is a good product but you should take it as prescribed..In few months time when you feel better you will be able to come off it..You don t need to be on them for years and years

Your doctor will be able to tell you when it s time to stop it slowly ,don t worry.

Drugs are the fastest way to get better..but it s not the only way.

You can have Zoloft and therapy,Zoloft and meditation,Zoloft and sport,Zoloft and group support..If you decide not to take them it s fine but recovery will be longer

I don't remember what it's like to rest. This whole experience is crazy. Try and get some rest and have good night and thanks.

Try learning mindfulness, because if you don't think you can't worry etc..If you say it's ruining your life try watching the following vid, & let me know what you think.."Eckhart Tolle anxiety and fear", it's on utube & is 17.05 mins long..Bear in mind that most people turn him off because he looks/sounds boring, so i wonder how desperate they really are..So give it a go you've nothing to lose, & one last thing to bear in mind as you watch it..You can't/won't get the gist of this over night, & it took me a few months..So you have to actually practice it to see how it works, it's no good at all to just repeatedly watch it..So it's: Mindfulness + emotions/feelings control practice.

Hi I may be looking at this from the wrong way but wow you got to Las Vegas. That in my book is amazing. I know anxiety ruins your life but I also think sometimes you just need to take a step back and look at what you have achieved.
