Hey all, new to ANY type of self help board, so bear with me.
I was diagnosed with Panic Attacks, GAD, SAD, serious Depression, etc.
I'm dealing with the panic attacks & depression with Xanax & Zoloft. Unfortunately, I seem to be able to take more medication than it would take to bring down an elephant. 6mg Xanax a day, plus the Zoloft, and that just takes the edge off the panic.
But, (here's where the rambling gets to the point), with the relief of the panic attacks being stabilized, it's made me much more aware of symptoms of what I think are GAD. Tell me if i'm wrong.
I absolutely CANNOT wait on anything. If I email someone, I need an answer right away, or my mind just starts snowballing. Right now, i'm refinancing my house. I cannot deal with how long it takes everyone to do everything. I feel like what is a day to a normal person is a month in my brain.
At any given moment, i'm thinking of 4-5 (or more) different things, can't sleep without medication because I can't turn off my brain. It's like I have no control over my brain and it's anxiety.
This was much more of a rambling post than i'd meant.
To sum it up, I truly wish there was an off switch for my brain.
