So I made it through the worst of the anxiety today without klonopin. I had to use tons of coping skills.
-Reading
-Playing with my cats
-Drawing
-Music
-Cleaning
-Praying
-Videogames
-Journaling
-Looking at recipe ideas for desserts for November
-Aromatherapy
-Showering
I seem to be calming down somewhat
I'm wondering about long term anxiety meds, like something that helps panic. I was on clonidine which helped immensely but was taken off it when I was having blood pressure issues with that combined with another med. Don't see my doctor till the middle of next month though. I wonder if I could get back on that or a beta blocker since my thorazine was decreased and I'm not having dizziness anymore
