Shadowkins...I know what you mean about the writing! I have never used the computer so much either..I see why people like it now. I like the term "hormone day " Made me laugh.
I had a terrible dream during the night ( about my oldest son, who I am very concerned about) and woke up in a panic, my arms were asleep, I was in a sweat.... a while back I would have been anxious for hours, but I used my new coping skills (10 ques./changing the neg. to pos.)...settled within minutes!
I still remember the dream clearly, and a part of me wants to dwell on it...its strange.. but mostly I just want to get on with my life and enjoy the day, which is great ...is this how the medication works? I don't know..But its good. I guess its working.
Welcome to this site. I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time with anxiety. I know how exhausting a few hours of extreme anxiety is...I read in your post that you "constantly have to fight these symptoms".
I have learned here that we should not fight the symptoms...that gives anxiety more power to intensify. If we could let the symptoms come, accept them, and go about our life they will decrease. I know..easier said than done...I'm trying to do just that and it is helping so much.
I asked my doctor about a therapist too, she gave me a referal for a psychologist...my insurance would cover 80% of the fee....but when I called the 3 on the list there all were booked for at least 3 months...so I'm on wait lists. I'm in B.C. Canada, and every province's medical plan is different. I have no idea how it works in the rest of the world.
Sunny..thats a good idea about asking at the local hospital..I think I may do that.
When I asked my doctor about a therapist she gave me good advice..to check into my health insurance because some only cover certain designations...so I did, and sure enough mine only covers a psychologist with a MD's referal, not therapists...both of them charge anywhere between 90 &150 dollars an hour!! I'm not rich! Even at 80% coverage its alot to spend. So much for "universal healthcare".
Carnations...You sound so sad in this post...It sounds like you are beating yourself up for what you see as "failure".... please don't give up..you can beat it...give it time.... go easier on yourself....I know how hard that is...but if you can think of all your pluses, and knock out that frustrated feeling...maybe that will help! Better days are ahead for you!
Anerol...haha, amazing how something like that water spray can change a mood in an instant !
Davit, so glad to hear your staph infection is gone and that Tim's is going to have to go out of business! lol
