I am anxious

I am anxious. I have always had a tendency to be that way. Even the weather can set me off.

The next few days have really put the wind up me and I am scared. I am on 4mg of Paxam a day. They come in weekly packet. I have no spares.

This morning tears were pricking at my eyes but they wouldn't fall. Maybe crying would have released some of the pressure that a lot of us feel. that I feel right now. I went to respond to so many posts and just kept on running away.

I am seeing my shrink and am going to ask him for spares of Paxam. I doubt he will though.

Grrrr and bleah and I'm scared.

Good luck with your psychiatrist, possum. Have you tried walking or some other form of exercise to relieve the anxiety?

I am anxious too, and also have always been that way. I don't know if you mean the weather makes you anxious, or just the change in weather. In my case, it's the winter driving. We get snow and ice, and I'm so scared that I, or someone in my family, will get in an accident. I can't keep anyone from driving, and it makes me so anxious.

What's going on in the next few days? With me, it's the weather! Do the meds help? I don't know how to stop being anxious but have never taken meds for it.

the wind and rain make me anxious. We don't get snow here, but it doesnt look fun when the roads turn to ice.

I am a quiet person and normally keep to myself. I do have to push myself to function in the real world.
Being Christmas and having to funtion at parties and catching up with family isn't always easy.

Normally I have to pace myself and then withdraw for awhile in order to cope being out again. I do have medication for anxiety which really helps me (Paxam). When I feel anxious I often stutter or have tics. In general talking gets really difficult because of the stutter.

I saw my shrink this afternoon and he has okayed the use of small amounts of seroquel should I need it. Medication really does help me. I try to be balanced with it and use breathing techniques as well.

But if it all gets too much.......... I will just come home.

I hope you both make it through these next few days safely and on to more comfortable times.

I feel your pain. I can get anxious over absolutely nothing, but what I really have problems with is speaking my mind. I'm hopefully about to get a therapist who will help me cope with my anxiety problems. You're not the only one
