sounds to me you have bad anxiety. i have a list of coping skills that my therapist gave me when my anxiety level is high.
For High Anxiety
1) physical activity
2) deep breathing
3) mindfulness box
4) guided imagery
5) progressive muscle relaxation exercises
6) diversions
7) counteracting thoughts
a. think positive
8) relaxation exercises
9) journaling
10) mindfulness
11) STOP technique

3) mindfulness box
4) guided imagery
5) progressive muscle relaxation exercises

Thank you!
I will print this out and use it to help/cope. This is all what i am working on.

(Also, i have gone all the way back to January- and have concluded there is not a particular rhyme or reason for my moods!! All i can say- is that since the past week or days that I started Seroqual, have not had one bad day. lets see!!)
