I’ll be comfortable in my backyard but now it’s getting dark, I should have gone out earlier. I did get out some of my nervous energy by cleaning.

I’m kind of glad I don’t have to take CR to camp for a couple more days, I really don’t want to go anywhere by myself. But I really shouldn’t give in to this anxiety either or it will grow bigger than I can handle. It’s not paranoia yet but it’s headed there.

I am not really sure where to go med wise. I don’t want any AP. They all give me unacceptable side effects or just plain don’t work. I would be willing to use haldol in the short term just to clear this up so I can get a grip and better use my skills, but not in the long term.

I know ADs can sometimes be used for anxiety but I can’t take any. Wellbutrin is the only one that doesn’t send me into outer space. I dunno if it’s helpful for anxiety.

I’m trying to employ skills but It’s not going my way. I’ll keep trying though.
Just wanted you to know that Wellbutrin helps both my depression and anxiety a lot.
Thanks for this!
