I'm struggling here. Big time with this anxiety. I am at work. I've already snapped at a coworker because he asked me to do...a part of my job! I have a lot of race thoughts today, feeling itchy and just kind of gross. I am coming off my meds and I am having a heck of a time managing today. Deep breathing isn't really working. Any other ideas? I am fighting the tears im so frustrated.

Sounds very uncomfortable, to say the least.
Have you been using clonazepam as a prn?

Are you tapering too quickly?
Is you pdoc avail to help should you continue to have difficulties?

Be kind to yourself.

Thanks, WC. I'm off the clonazepam now, haven't taken it since February (guess I should change my signature, huh? ) I have been thinking about the clonazepam all morning. I know it would totally do the trick but I have to try to do life without-- plus I don't have access to it at work but I don't know that I would take it as I'm trying to come off everything. I'm off the ability now too and working on tapering off the lithium. I don't know how I'm going to do life without meds on days like this. I don't want to fail, I have to learn to deal and I dont know how.

I think about getting & being pregnant on top of this and the thought scares me to pieces...how Will I ever be able to do this?

I could call Pdoc I guess. Maybe she would have some suggestions.
