Thanks everyone I think part of what made my anxiety worse again (aside from the family drama that's going on) is that I hadn't slept in almost two days and had barely eaten anything because I had lost my appetite because I was so anxious. I find that my anxiety is always at its worst when I don't sleep enough or eat enough throughout the day. I also have now completely cut caffeine out of my diet and have noticed a big difference from that. It's weird because sometimes I can handle caffeine, but other times I can't. I guess the caffeine hits me hard when I'm lacking sleep and nutrients. I see my pdoc on Tuesday so hopefully I will be ok until then. I hate the fact that I've been resorting to taking motion sickness pills to help relax me and help me sleep. I'm hoping my pdoc will maybe give me klonopin or something similar that's long lasting to relax me at night and help me sleep. I am definitely feeling better today, now that I finally slept and am forcing myself to eat and cut out the caffeine.

Thanks everyone for your support and advice.. I appreciate it! I will keep you updated on how I'm doing. Thanks again..
