The diazepam certainly helped the anxiety, so much so that when I made a mistake at work I laughed it off - "oh silly me, what am I like?" It was an empty laugh for me, but my colleagues enjoyed the diversion, no-one was mean, mostly they were sympathetic.

Now the diazepam has worn off and I'm irritable and tired. The anxiety and sui thoughts are not troubling me so much and I think I will wait a bit longer before taking another dose.

A much more positive day, overall.
