Hello Bacardi 1862: Welcome to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

I'm sorry you area encountering this difficulty. I have always struggled with a lot of anxiety & I know it can do strange things to a person. I'm afraid I denied my struggles for many years... much to my detriment. So I celebrate your determination to heal.

The simple answer here, if you can do it, is to either increase your current dosage of medication or make some changes in what you're currently taking. It doesn't necessarily need to be permanent. But, from what you wrote, it sounds as though what you need right now is a quick fix until you can get back into counseling. That is part of what med's are for.

There are other things one can do to try to remedy anxiety... physical exercise, meditation, etc. (I'm sure you've heard all of this before...) But these types of things, while valuable, aren't "stop-gap" measures to get you through until you can get back into counseling. Of course, continuing to post here on PC can help too.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. There are many knowledgeable & caring members here. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
