I’m still anxious after yesterday’s flash flooding scare while I was driving. I’m also dealing with obsessive thoughts about my children’s safety. They are 19 and 22. Praying all day yesterday and last night, I kept repeating my pleas for God to keep them safe. The fear is overwhelming. I don’t have a prescription for anxiety. After I overdosed on klonopin in 2012, my psychiatrist won’t prescribe anything for anxiety. Sometimes I feel like my fear will eat me alive. Some days it’s all-consuming. Does anyone else live with crippling anxiety?

Update: I texted my therapist and told her about the anxiety being so bad that I can’t think straight. She’s always good about responding. I told her I couldn’t focus enough to use coping skills. She reminded me to use cold to hopefully get some relief. I have an ice pack on my neck right now. She suggested I call my psychiatrist to let her know how bad it is. I did, but I’ll be surprised if she prescribes anything.
