Yeah, stress usually makes it worse, along with being alone. I haven't really figured out anything that helps- usually either it "goes away" or I see T and it gets better. Sometimes listening to a movie, TV show, music, etc. helps but lately trying to do that to distract me from the anxiety, thoughts, and voices doesn't help, makes it worse, or distracts me from studying. T's surgery should be pretty straightforward/routine for someone her age, but since she had it a week early, she didn't mention about contacting anyone else in the office and I didn't forsee that need. If T doesn't feel up to coming in and this continues I'll try talking to someone else in the office (most are interns and I don't want to "scare" them). I know pdoc would prescribe an AP or change the med, but I think this might be more of a T issue than a pdoc one- something I can work on with coping strategies/talking and not necessarily meds. Pdoc might not have any earlier appointments and I'm not that close with him.
