I took 4 Xanax in less then an hour and I still just feel so anxious. I have this feeling in my throat. I don’t know if it’s a panic attack or not. But I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried my other coping skills besides meds and they aren’t helping. I honestly don’t know what to do right now. I have a therapist but I don’t trust her and besides it’s Sunday. I don’t have anyone else to talk to.
What should I do? __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Are you still taking your steroid every other weekend? Is this weekend on or off? Also, since you took 5 xanax yesterday, your body is probably just reacting to the "shortage" - like its not ACTUAL anxiety like about an event, its just your body noticing the lower dose.

I also was diagnosed with low vitamin D about a month ago and my doctor told me to take vitamins but I haven’t. Can low vitamin D cause anxiety and depression?

I dont know about D. But if my magnesium or electrolytes are off, i get very depressed. You were drinking a lot of water the past few days. Maybe get some gatorade?

I don’t have Gatorade but I do have orange juice and Sunny D. I just now took my vitamin D and I ate some Goldfish crackers because carbs can often help me feel better.
I switched my shots to every week. So I got it yesterday morning. I’ve had my levels tested a few times during routine blood work and I’ve been in the normal range each time. So I don’t think it’s that. Sometimes my mood does get low from the shots but it’s usually the day before. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

How are you feeling today? Did you get to talk to your psychiatrist?

I still feel the same. I misread my notes and my appointment with my Pdoc is actually next Monday instead of the 29th. So I just have to hold on for a few more days.

I don’t know how your strength is but if you can do some of physical exercise, even a mild one. Maybe, it can help you a little. P.S.: I was reading again your main post and you said that you don’t trust your therapist. I wonder if in your country is the therapist who also prescribes medication. In my country has to be the psychiatrist. What I want to mean is that if you don’t trust your therapist, I doubt anything good could get out of it. Wonder why you don’t trust her, just in case it could be a hard step for you on the therapy. It could happen. Sometimes we are not ready to work on a certain point. But, if it’s an objective lack of confidence, if you can change of therapist. I know that it’s very important you trust the professional. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression.

I set up an emergency appointment tomorrow. I kind of want to go to the hospital. But mental health hospitals scare me so badly because out of the 22 hospitalizations I’ve had only about 5 of them were decent and where I wasn’t bullied or physically attacked by both staff and patients. And now I am at risk for harassment and assault and even possible murder just by my leaving house to go to the store. I can’t imagine what a psych hospital would do to me now.

My therapist makes things worse in a scary and disturbing way. I asked to be switched to someone else today. I live in the United States so my Pdoc prescribes my meds.
