What do you do when.......?

Post Reply New Topic

I haven't slept properly, I'm edgy, upset stomach with nausea, can't eat, hyper-focusing, the little sleep I did get I bit through my lip and made it bleed! (woke myself up) All because I have a big social event straight after work today, that I can't get out of!! There will be lots of pressure to be something I'm not, lots of hugs kisses (eeew) No idea how I am going to concentrate at work, I've done a pack of antacid already and it's not even 9am!

I have never got any better with this, or developed any coping techniques, what would you do if you were me? Have you learnt any coping mechanisms? My logic tells me I'm over reacting and being dramatic and ridiculous but my body wont listen to reason!

5-HTP and Gaba helps me - my Dr. recommended it and it's amazing, helps me to not have such a high stress reaction/fight or flight response. :0)

Been there; done that. I don't know what to tell you. I wish I did, because then I could tell myself the same thing.

Thank you for the suggestion BN1111, on my lunch break I am going to go to the chemist and see if I can get either of these (or both) lol

Sammich, it still helps to know that I'm not the only one who does this even if there are no suggestions!

Thanks again

Awesome. :0)

My doc has me on 1000mg of Gaba twice daily and 200mg of 5-HTP twice daily. Hope that helps. :0)

Hope it went ok for you - you're definitely not the only one..... I managed to avoid the last work function - hid in my office....

Nobody noticed\said anything... I don't know if that is good or bad.............
