a med question

Post Reply New Topic

I would assume I am not the only one who misreads how I feel physically from time to time, yes? I find myself not realizing I am having anxiety and need to take my xanax until it's been awhile. Today I felt bad all day and then it hit me (after eating dinner--sometimes eating enough is a prob too) that perhaps I am anxious. I only take a 1/2 of the lowest dose just as needed, but it sure makes a difference (I take a 1/2 cause I get headaches otherwise.) Anyways, any similiar findings??

Seems a bit strange to turn to my husband and say, "oh, maybe it's anxiety". Yeah, just maybe....

I often feel as if anxiety attacks sneak up on me. I can feel meltdowns happening because every nerve I own seems to be on top of my skin, but then am surprised when they actually happen. It's kinna disturbing. I know it's stupid that I pinpoint it's about to happen, but then am surprised because I feel powerless to stop it from happening.

Now meltdowns--thats an entirely different thing. If I don't "run" out of the situation--I generally end up in tears. Or yelling at the person I deem responsible. But mostly tears. Yeah, I get the surprise part cause sometimes it's like "I can make it a little longer." But of course I used to tell myself that I can because normal people can and I am normal. I may not have an official diagnosis and I may or may not do that, but the peace that has come with realizing the "whys" is just amazing!

im trying to overcome my anxiety and ocd by the way i think and natural herbs like passion flower that are effective in treating anxiety. come to think of it i havent had a panic attack in months but its been replaced with me having gross thoughts that make my skin crawl. like the inside of a p**** being raw hamburger, now im afraid of girls and holes
