Klonopin has stopped working, because I am so sped up. I do get some sleep with Seroquel, but then the reset button hits, and my symptoms flare right back up the next day. I can't go on feeling this way. I almost got into a car accident today, because I was so distracted. Now I'm just crying, because I can't get a hold of myself and feel shame that I had to leave work. I should have just stuck it out a few hours, but I couldn't.

I’m so sorry you are struggling so much with anxiety and possibly hypomania. Please don’t be so hard on yourself for needing to leave work. You were doing what was needed to take care of yourself. I’m glad you’ve been able to sleep. Please give yourself permission to cry. I wish I had the words to help you feel better. I’m so glad you are reaching out here. I also live with severe anxiety which is worsened when I’m hypomanic or manic so feel free to message me anytime if you need to talk. Hugs.
