I was able to find it :) I read through it the first day. I just didn't realize it was in the session. So far, things have actually started getting better. I'm able to identify the sensations that send me into the panic cycle. My fear is starting to leave. It seems like it's happening fast although I've been dealing with this for quite some time. It's hard to believe something is actually working and I'm excited for the future.
The Buspar can be taken with or without food. I stopped taking them with food and I don't get the headaches :) I've also started taking Vitamin B. I thank God for this site and everyone who takes a part in helping others.
The doctor said that these are know side effects and that they should diminish over the next few weeks. I never had side effects from it before.
Where is the section for agoraphobia? I looked but can't seem to find it.
I honestly don't know what steps to take to live in the moment. At this point I just try telling myself to live in the moment. I try shrugging off future worries and accepting the fact that right now, there's nothing I can do about them. Not being able to do anything makes me feel bad though.
It's my pleasure! Always happy to support you wherever possible.
Have you seen a doctor with respect to the Buspar? If so, what was the result of that consultation?
Regarding the agoraphobia that you say you experience in the mornings, have you read through the section in the program about this topic (agoraphobia)? If so, what did you find helpful? Were there any points that require clarification?
How can you concretely take steps to live in the moment each and every day?
Glad I got you thinking about these questions. Please take as much time as you need and keep us posted about any realizations.
Usually my anxiety is low at night. However, the Buspar has been giving me terrible pressure in my head which I never experienced when I took it in the past. Today the pressure was so horrible. I ended up going to sleep and woke up in a panic because the phone rang.
I believe my anxiety is worse during the day because of the Agoraphobia. If I know I need to go to the store/other, my mind starts racing first thing in the morning.
I have learned from my journal/diary that I need to live in the moment. Sometimes it works but sometimes I forget about it and fall into the "woe is me, why me, where are you Lord, will I ever get better...and sometimes I'm just angry because I'm tired of having to "try" to feel normal again.
I'm going to think about your questions. I don't know how to deal with the feelings before they come on. I'm usually in amazement that the fog is lighter. I NEVER feel normal-just not as bad sometimes.
I want to thank you guys for responding today. It's hard to talk about it when no one understands.
Before this recent bout with the anxiety I was a very positive person. Everyone called me for advice because I was the person who could always point out the bright spots. I was the person who was understanding and compassionate without blaming. I was an entrepreneur and a risk taker. I've held a lot of occupations because I was constantly learning and willing to try new things. I would always tell people that I enjoyed life and wanted to take full advantage of it. I was the person who "got things done". I was a giver and now I can't even work to pay my car note :(.
As you can see, the time of day has changed and my anxiety is at its worst. I just can't seem to have an easy day. Once I take control of this, I'd like to be even more understanding and motivational to others. I was always that person who believed it would get better or let people know they were better than they thought. I thought my mission in life was to be a giver and a motivation to others. Most days I can't even motivate myself. Every day I can't believe that this is my life and I'm waiting on that lightbulb to click and let me get back to being me.
Welcome to the group. No apologies nessesary. I appreciate that you took the time to write out your story.
It sounds like this program can be a lot of help to you. Take your time with it, do your homework and you will start to see even greater results.
I like your choice of name How was your life different when anxiety was not an issue? Or actually how do you think your life will be different once you take control of this?
