Hi Michelle thank you for the advice.So sorry for the loss of your son.X
I am really sorry for your loss. My problems are nothing compared to the grief you must feel. I would certainly lose it if one of my sons died. I have been giving and getting sorted advice in anxiety all day, but this one I will not touch. You haven't deepest sympathies
Sorry, phone screwed up. You have my deepest sympathies is what it was suppose to say.
Sorry for the loss of your son. My condolences to you.🙌 I will search for that book thanks for the info. I hope it helps me too.👍💖
I hope the book helps everyone so they can try and look at themselves differently.
Didn't get much sleep last night went to bed at 1am awake at 5am. Feeling a bit agitated but I will open my book up and then take another day as it comes because I'm still here and that's what matters to my family and friends right now.
I also did not get much sleep last night. Awake at 5 A.m. and replying back to you. Jitters were not as bad this morning. 4 hours of sleep just isn't going to cut it. I will be napping latter hopefully. Although I know I risk another attack anytime I lay down. Perhaps a nap in my recliner may be the trick. New day though and I start therapy today. Man I hope that therapist is prepared for me. Lol. But feeling optimistic and hopefully all will go well. A little anxious and thought a lot about meeting therapist and what I was going to say. Will I cry, will I let it all out in an hour session, will I choke and not get anything out, will she like me or judge me or what. Raining here, ironically it kind of matches my mood. Waiting for my xanex to kick in right now. I look forward to the calm.
Hi I had taken my usual dose of 7.5mg of zopiclone and a 5mg of diazepam an hour before as instructed by doctor. I am seeing a specialist clinical psychologist next week. Over the last 2 weeks I have literally written down the things I am doing to myself, my moods how I'm feeling when I awake and what sort of day I've had. I will be taking this to my appointment with me just in case I close up and zone out I do this everyday. I have a trust issue now of telling the truth and I believe they need to know everything. You should try this.
Sounds pretty aggressive and smart. Good thinking. I too am trying to find the triggers and causes. Not doing a lot to myself to write down, but I like the tactics you are using and will consider it. See therapist today and will see what she says.
Good look with therapist let me know how you get on.
In my way now. Took half a xanex because I am a little nervous meeting new people. I know what I want to say in my head, it's just getting my mouth to cooperate. I have not been to therapy in years so this am not sure what emotions to expect. Feeling pretty good for the most part.
Well I have a gp appointment soon wrote lots of stuff down because I know I wouldn't reveal all. I will chat later when I get back ok. From shelley
Omg Shelly this therapist was great. Could not ask for a better therapist. Made me comfortable and totally gets the whole anxiety deal. I would recommend her to anyone with this problem. I feel so much better. Not cured but better. She is even going to help me with the insurance disability BS. Awesome.
That's great news for you. I'm pleased to hear it. Well I've been back to doctor this afternoon she added to my medication mirtazapine I already take Prozac, diazepam and zopiclone.
