Why do I feel anxious today?

It isn't any thing I'm thinking of. I just feel randomly anxious.

I can't say....I'm feeling that way too...maybe it's a virus going around? in my case I had a cup of coffee today and since I just started Welbutrin, it was probably not a good idea.

I hope you figure out the reason for yours so you can fix it pronto! (((Hugs)))

I'll take an Ativan. Only 2 left with no refills. I see my Pdoc Friday at 10. Maybe she will renew my Ativan.

Wellbutrin with coffee equals crack lol

Yes, ....either that or someone slipped some rocks in my coffee. I've been having an interesting day....tomorrow I will skip the coffee

I've had coffee today but it's nothing close to mania or what I guess crack is like.

Ativan should've kicked in by now. I still feel like my brain needs to turn off.

That doesn't sound good. I'm sorry. Is there anything calming you can try? Herbal tea, nice shower, looking at old photographs of people you care about, a friend to call? I hope you feel better soon.

Before bed I can take melatonin. I still have to pick up my daughter in 45 minutes. I'm laying in bed on my phone listening to music.

Hopefully the melatonin will help and you will get a good nights rest. It's amazing at what some good sleep can do.

Here's a wild idea: Why not try something less drug related for the anxiety before resorting to your benzos?

(No this is not me being anti meds, its recommended by my T's who run DBT)

Like exercise, judo, meditation, yoga, swimming, running... Also make sure you're getting a healthy amount of sleep, not over or under.


Activity is great for anxiety, on the other hand, if you're having a full blown anxiety attack and your skin is literally crawling with it, a hot shower with a powerful loofa does the trick.


Ps. Wrt your other thread, If you learn to incorporate some coping skills for symptoms that are not debilitating everytime they appear, you may be able to decrease those 10 meds, instead of taking a med for each symptom, every time.

It is hard with our diagnosis to remember that everyone has happy days, sad days, angry days and anxious days. We have to keep that in mind. It is so hard though!!

Last night, I had trouble sleeping which NEVER happens to me. I got up, had a but of a panic attack (thinking why did this happen? I was so tired before, why am I awake now? Of course all my answers point to the worst possible scenario... I must be enter a depressive phase. We'll after freaking out for about 10 mins (and 1mg Xanax), and refocused and realized everyone has trouble sleeping from time to time. It's not my BP, it's just normal.
