Random anxiety

At least I know what triggered this one. Random rumor mongering on facebook in my network. I just hate that something that the old me would just brush off can send me into a tailspin now. I feel jittery and nervous and afraid. I have taken my meds but all it did was push it a few layers deeper.

I have also tried all my coping methods: yoga, meditation, deep breathing, distraction.

Anything you can throw at me?

As much as it takes a ton of discipline, perhaps you can take a facebook holiday. The reason I say this is that I have a similar difficulty. When I'm taking a medication, any medication, I visit websites and reviews for that particular medication. Well, not surprisingly, I would contract all of the negative side-effects. I know that I need medication. So when I recently was prescribed Viibryd for this misery known as depression, I had the MD take the side-effects info out of the pack, and vowed not to look up any of the reviews. I have not been 100% faithful to no looking up any reviews, but I'm not obsessing on it either. And, again not surprisingly, this medication appears to be starting to work.

Oh, I also agree about the hypersensitivity that this depression causes...

In addition to your other coping methods, maybe you can just venture outside into nature and appreciate it.

Best wishes to you.
