I've been having a rough morning. I had decaf coffee, but I'm having HUGE anxiety over having to skip my morning walk due to rain (again!). Both my OCD and ED do NOT like this. I have been struggling with ED thoughts stronger than normal lately

Ugh! I hate anxiety b/c it seems to also bring on some hypomanic behavior in me. I don't know if it's true hypomania, rather just behaviors like irritability, quick anger, going thru tasks quickly and not thoroughly, racing thoughts, etc. I am trying to calm down and grounding and deep breathing are not helping. I do have an aromatherapy diffuser and the oils to use with it but H is sleeping in the bedroom and he's been so stressed lately I do not want to disturb him.

I am going to make some chamomile tea to calm down and if that doesn't help I'm going to chop some of the extra Seroquel I have from different old prescriptions down to 25 mg since pdoc used to prescribe me 25 mg Seroquel to help with anxiety and panic. I know I really should NOT do that with the Seroquel, maybe I'm still a bit hypo, but I'm also desperate to end this long round of high anxiety and panic.
I'm so very sorry you're going through that high anxiety. Sounds like you're trying to get it tampered down. Hopefully one coping skills clicks. And remember it won't last forever.
