@Scooter9 I'm so sorry for your loss

@LadyShadow - Gorgeous Halloween pic! I love your costume!

@BeyondtheRainbow - So sorry you've had trouble connecting with your pdoc. Mixed episodes are the worst!

I had a pdoc appt. today. I told him my anxiety is on the rise between the election and the time of year. I always seem to end up in the psych hospital between around Thanksgiving, early December. It's the holidays combined with my daughter's birthday and the anniversary of a sexual assault incident that all just make it very hard. I've had increasing anxiety/panic attacks, even paranoia that I'm going to black out and end up in the psych hospital at any given moment. Pdoc said I can take 1/2 to 1 extra hydroxyzine to see if that helps and to come back in 2 weeks. I am not sure if that will do much of anything but we'll see. I might just end up cutting up some extra quetiapine b/c he used to prescribe me 25 mg quetiapine for bad anxiety, and that worked much better than hydroxyzine. I swear, this election is making me into a WRECK, not at all helped by my having to drive by this one house with political signs ALL over the place on my way out of my subdivision. I swear, I have NEVER been like this any other election in the past, but this election, UGH! I guess we'll know the outcome in less than a week.
