the manhunt is all over the news here in the states. I hope they are caught sooner rather than later before anything more happens. I'm hoping your anxiety doesn't get any worse. try your best to sleep and keep us posted. sending best wishes and hugs. you will get through this. it will pass. keep reaching out here.
I'm hoping for good news tomorrow with my PDoc, and a light at the end of the tunnel myself.

Hi Jedi67, thanks for sharing. I hope a medication overhaul will help you. I have olanzapine that I will take tonight at 2.5 mg. I only take it when my sleep is disrupted and it had been ok up until last night, often sleeping more than 8 hours.
I think the anxiety is definitely lack of sleep. Normally these kinds of news storeis don't get to me too much or I don't obsessively focus on them the way that I have, but it isn't only the story that I'm anxious about, it is everything.
WC, Thanks also for your post. I don't have a tv but was watching clips on my computer in the early morning hours when I should have been asleep. I am just hoping that I sleep ok tonight and can get a fresh start on life tomorrow.
It's a good idea to distract. I am just trying to find something to focus on that doesn't cause me stress. It seems my mind just runs from one stressful topic to the next. I think this is part of my illness.
Fern, congrats on disconnecting from the news. That's a great accomplishment! I can see why it would make sense for you to do that, as certain news stories were triggering a psychosis.
The beginning of my psychoses are always that I tend to get a lot of obsessive thoughts about a topic...
But I don't feel psychotic at the moment just distraught and dead tired and full of anxiety.
