There may be nothing wrong, but sometimes I fell like I could just jump out of my own skin for no reason. I had a nice relaxing weekend, cut the grass, did all my laundry, visited my family. I don't know why I feel on the verge of constant hysteria. I try so hard to keep things under control, but my panic and anxiety are stopping me from enjoying life. There is nothing to worry about, but I'm worried sick. I'm a single parent with lots of "things" going on, and just can't relax. The slightest noise or things that go bump in the night terrify me and make me feel that I have to be on night patrol. I can't take SSRIs and now only have script for Ativan for sleep. I am seeing a psychologist, but I have so many layers of distress, I feel that we have only scratched the surface. I wish I could reformat my brain, so I wouldn't react the way I do. I feel like nobody understands and I'm a complete nut. Its all in my head and I know that the first thing I have to do is change the way I think. How does a person take charge of their own mind?? Thanks for any input from anybody...J~
