I called in sick today

Oh God I spelt a word wrong like not life :-)

Am I regressing, Oh dear Oh dear, worry worry, Nah, just too much harvesting and not enough coffee to keep me awake.

Back to the grind. (literally, apples)

Have you tried taping a hawk silhouette to your window. It keeps birds from flying into windows it might keep pigions away.

Wrestler,

Medication will treat the symptoms but not the cause even if it is geared to your specific needs. Even the Doctor here has said that. He says only CBT can treat the cause. Sounds life you need both.

Thanks,

I have actually turned it into something productive, when at first I thought the day would be spent on the couch or just crying.

I am doing some laundry. I explored another forum which dealt with a specific fear that is bothering me now. I made a call earlier to my therapists office, and a few hours later she made a personal call to me and gave me some advice. She does feel I should go on an SSRI again. It's been since 2003 that I have been off Prozac. She did tell me that if I started to notice a gradual decline, that I should go back on an SSRI. She said Paxil can help with the certain kinds of obsessive thoughts I have. She's known me since 1995, so I trust her. I am going to look up another doctor through my insurance.

Good for you for listening to your body and taking a break when you need one.

Try to relax and enjoy your day.

I thought for all my career, which was abruptly ended, that taking a day off wasn't okay for reason's other than physical, but don't all illnesses have the physical symptoms?

I hope you work out your sleep issues, since I'm struggling without sleep just for noise issues, since pigeons are perching and causing me to awake earlier, so I'm trying to figure out how to apply silicone to cement with these plastic "spikes".

I wish I could advise you about meds, but I can't. I will stay that your commitment to activity is a great ally to health

I called in sick today. I felt I needed a break. I have never done this before at my current job. Even when I had a nasty sinus infection. But today I needed a day to myself. I feel very out of it.

I think I maybe got 4 hours of sleep last evening. That is not helping this.

I have been relying on valium for too long and I think it is time I made a change to something else and eliminate it. My main med is Triavil (Amytripuline and Perphenazine). I am going to call my MD when the office opens at 8:45. But if I have to rely on valium to keep my anxiety down, that might mean the med I take everyday has stopped working.

What has got me to this point is OCD/anxiety and panic and I am now really depressed. What will get me out of it is a return to normal sleep, possible med change and dealing with what got me here. Dealing directly with my fears.

Just wanted to share,

David
