I feel like I'm having an out of body experience or something. I acting like a lunatic. I'm so confused and angry. I cry alot. The only time Im ok is when I take Seroquel and go to sleep.

There is so much pressure for me to get better Im cracking up.

Breathe in and out, slowly. Try to get grounded, if you can.

If you have a therapist or psychiatrist, are you able to talk with them about how you're feeling?
Thanks for this!

Im sorry you are feeling so bad .... you mentioned the pressire on you to get better ... is this pressure coming from yourself or others?
As Melissa said " try and get grounded"

Deep breathing can help alot...

Definatly get in touch with your doctor.

I was intially given Seroquel for the simple reason that I was a basket case and unable to sleep which made me manic...

Have you been on Seroquel very long ? are you on a high dose ?
Have you had this anxiety all day or does your get worse at nitetime?

(((( Hugs))))
Thanks for this!

Pressure is from me and from my work and my parents and husband. Last time I had ECT I got better really fast now I'm not better after it. Less depression but very high anxiety. I have been on Seroquel since 2004 I can only tolerate a small dose. Even 25mg puts me right to sleep. I take that as need and 50 at night. Anxiety has been high all day but I had a nice talk with my husband about things and he was trying to tell me things I could do to get better. he meant well, but it just makes me feel like I have to get better tomorrow and I can't right now i dont think. My short term disability is running out too. Thanks for your replies i appreciate it a lot.

You've received some really good advice and I want to add my vote that you call your pdoc as soon as possible and explain what is happening. Be honest and speak up on your own behalf so that your pdoc gets the whole picture so he can adjust/change your meds for your benefit.

Please try not to let other people's well intentioned advice overwhelm you. They aren't in your shoes and they don't understand that it takes time to get better.

I wish you the very best.

Jan

I'm ok this morning. I think that was just a really bad episode. Can you believe I went to the store during that whole thing? I almost starting throwing stuff at the cashier because she closed her register when there were like seven people in line. Again, thank you all so much for helping me out. If I have another meltdown I'll post. I'm hoping I won't though, that was very difficult.
