I'm down today, struggling with PTSD stuff that happened in early December 4 years ago. This one I struggle when the anniversary comes around, but other things just choose to pop up randomly because I don't really remember the month or time of year it happened.
I have had high anxiety and took my anxiety meds early, but it is not helping, so I may need to take the prn stuff, but sometimes that knocks me out. More sleep wouldn't be the end of the world, and it would wear off by the time I have to get my daughter from school.
Did a progressive relaxation thing with my T yesterday, and that worked much better for me than deep breathing. In fact, I almost fell asleep in her office and got startled when she spoke again at the end. I am supposed to practice that one. I just hate this anxiety, even a bit of paranoia (thinking random sounds I hear are a person trying to break into the house or running behind me to catch me, or following me in the parking lot, etc.).
