I took my pills this morning i felt fine but when i woke up only two hours later i had to take more meds because i was shaking so bad anxious as all hell.now it seem like all of my meds are not working,I do have a lot on my mind perhaps they are wearing off every two -4 hours now it has been like four hours,i was worried abut the money in the bank my generator not working and i had to deal with a bastard handiman that insist it was working so I called the land 6 days ago she didnt do a thing as usual.This virus is getting to me again,my left leg is still swallon i am wearing a ace bandage to make the swelling go down but it isnt helping ,i am so depressed to these two combined are driving me nuts.i left a message to my doctor i will not go to the hospital.Why because of this virus thing hey even his office is closed but i can get the receptionest and his nurse oh ya about a week ago i had such bad anxieties because I am worried i wouldnt get my meds ,however this week has beeen extremely bad i will have enough money,however my mind is driving me crazy telling me i wont have enough,Even my best friend snapped at me.How many people already told u it would be there I know it is but why do I have to continue to have scary thoughts about it?I have anxieties last me to for an entire day a few times,it always seems to happen when i first get up.Only last week i woke up one day and i didnt have to take anything but now.I am reliving last year at this time when my mom was dying and june 9th she did i feel like she is dying all over again.How much more is a person suppose to take?

Dear xmascarol,

I am so terribly sorry you are being overwhelmed by anxiety. How stressful and distressing. It is really heartbreaking that you are stuck in this horrible ordeal. Since I suffer from severe anxiety I know how brutal it can be. I have a technique I learned from a psychiatrist which helps me enormously. I would be happy to share it with you if you are interested. My heart goes out to you!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

I'm sorry you are dealing with all of these anxieties. You have the swelling in your leg to be concerned about plus it's the anniversary of your mom's final days & passing, & other problems such as your generator not working. So you have a lot of troubling things coming together all at once. It's understandable you would be feeling a lot of anxiety.

In my case I think this whole coronavirus pandemic situation is just making everything seem even worse than it would normally be. I'm personally not even that anxious about the pandemic itself. I rarely leave home. So about the only way I would contract it would be if my wife got it. And she doesn't go out all that much either. But I notice everything just feels darker & scarier to me whether it's related to the coronavirus or not.

For a while now I've been experiencing something that seems to be akin to what is referred to as "Sundown Syndrome". And I don't know if it's because of the pandemic situation or not, but my sundown symptoms seem as though they're becoming more intense lately. Recently I had to learn how to use "Zoom" in order to have a virtual doctor's appointment. And the anxiety I developed over that process left me shaking.

Anyway... I didn't really have much of anything in the way of useful insights or suggestions to offer you. But I thought I would just let you know I read your post & share a few of my own current anxiety experiences. Hope you are able to begin feeling more calm & at ease soon.

i did call him but it may take awhile since he is at home.however the receptionist can call the nurse,i am not going to any hospital i did that before not again all we did all day long is go to useless support groups,no tv in our rooms which stinks they had it in the mess hall but it had to be shut off by 11 .You can only gets your meds when u r schedule to i cannot deal with that they would make me wait sometimes 12 to 14 hours in the nursing home for m,y meds one time i was so bad i was shaking and crying and actually wet the bed and i didnt even know that i went,lucky for me the two aids was there she was so nice the other one was always picking on me however this time she knelt doown for once and acted like a human being for a change she held one of my hands and tried to calm me down i use to have to yell just to get my meds,why they only had one person doing makes is nonsense.NOw i wish i didnt call my doctor .My friend was mad at me the other day cause i was worried that my money wasnt in the bank she said four people already told u that you would be alright i told her i know this but it is the way my brain works yet i know the money is in there with plenty left to spend yet I was still scared,NO need to be nasty with me Then she said i cannot help u i said i know i just needed a friend to talk to she didnt say a word.she was mad i can tell because i called she said she wasnt mad but clearly she was i can tell for some reason she doesnt want me calling her,I dont think tha t is fair she told me once before she would always be here for me,just when she didnt get my message wed she said she was so sorry the she gets mad at me,she should no better,you dont get mad at someone who is suffering so much with anxieties, I know she wasnt in a good mood the second she answered the phone she just wanted to make sure i was alright i said yes,and i told her why i was so anxious then she bit my head off.It isnt easy for me to go out and she knows this to,yet i still love her because she really is a good person,just sometimes she gets mad .
