i'm having real difficulty re-focusing right now. when i went to bed last night, all i could do was lie there and worry about all the negative things in my life and also "how am i going to get out of this alive?" as in, do i have a future, i feel out of control emotionally, when will this stop??? that sort of stuff. my heart pounds really hard and it feels as if my stomach has a huge hole in it. does anyone else experience this?

i slept about 2 1/2 hours. tried to go back to sleep around 6. finally at 8, i took the tyenol pm substitute. i slept and i missed my eye doctor appointment!! my eyes are part of my stress.

i'm out of xanax til wednesday. i only take one, at night...i can't believe that it helps me so much. since i've been out, i'm just going willy=nilly through things. running amuck in my head! i need some advice. i've got two more days and nights of this...... i also worry about getting addicted to xanax. i only take one small dose a day and it works great..for my anxiety. i'm anxiety free when i take it. anyone else take it? and for how long? i've been on it about 6 weeks. xoxox pat
