Anxiety was awful yesterday. Seroquel and Lorazepam helped but I felt so lost and confused like my brain is filled with cotton wool. It was horrible. In the end I just curled up and lay in bed trying to escape.

After 10 hours of sleep I woke exhausted but after dragging myself up I managed breakfast, a swim, lunch, then a walk on the beach. All without meds.

My mood is very low though and I’m worried I’m getting depressed. I recently came off 400 mg Lamotrogine (tapered) due to side effects so I’m hoping it’s just temporary. I had a nap and now it’s 5 pm. I’m exhausted and sore from the exercise. I just want the day to end. I can’t even concentrate so TV is hard to watch and books impossible.

See my T and pdoc on Wed. Hoping to feel better by then. At least the excruciating anxiety has calmed down.
