Checking in (How do you feel today)? #3

Like the price tag, accidentally left on a gift.

Embarrassed, unwanted, and unsophisticated.

-Fleeing Bellocq, Head Low in the Mission District

melancholy and my teeth are being sensitive to cold air, wanna sleep

Elated, releafed and happy!!!!!!

Elated to have seen upon waking that my house is looking great, and all the work is really making a difference. It wasn't just a dream---I've had many dreams where I had gotten all the organizing done, and woken up only to find it was imagined. Now it's real and it's paying off in huge good feelings.

This is a very big deal for me. It's been almost eight years of feeling horrible about the state of things.

Now, I can even, almost, picture having people over, a few close friends. What a change.

Warn out after running round after the kids, fed up of thier father not taking his share of responsibility but happy as I got to speak to my boyfriend whos at sea till next weekend

Thanks! Put my hearing aids on just to listen--it's so easy to stay isolated without sound! Again Thanks!!!

Feeling better today than yesterday at this time.

Feeling good because I got my CPR and Emergency First Aid Certification today.

I'm glad it went well for you.

I have a headache and my stomach feels wierd--it keeps making a bunch of wierd noises. My back and neck are killing me.

My back is killing me and I feel guilty for skipping work because our roads aren't plowed.

I'm feeling hopeful today! I have a another doctors appointment today so I'm praying I get meds prescribed to me today because this darn anxiety and panic attacks are really kicking my butt!!!

Exceptionally irritable and ranting at many different people. I need to learn to just keep my mouth shut sometimes.

Feeling sick, Felt like I was going to faint earlier I am sure it is due to stress though.
I have had 2 migraines since yesterday, I am not doing good mentally either (moan moan moan)

Trying to mentally prepare for the work shift. Not sure what to expect tonight in work load and coworker's attitude.

I was woken up from my sleep cause I jumped got scared or something! This is so new to me but I felt really sick and like a heavy feeling over me and o felt really weak. I don't know if this is part of the anxiety or I'm having a reaction to the medS my doctor prescribed to me today.... Can someone please help ease my mind,PLEASE!!

You might be having a reaction to dreams you were having...how are you now? What med is it, if you don't mind me asking? You don't have to answer that of course...I am just the queen of bad side effects with psych meds. Check the side effects online or with the information that came with the med, the paperwork. You can also call a pharmacy that is open all night if you can find one online.

But hang in there and breathe, try and stay calm (easier said than done). It could be all anxiety...I know I have had similar feelings/symptoms before.

Thanks and i dont mind you asking i really know nothing about MedS or side effectes of the medS.... I never took any meds before at all but He put me on Buspirone and Citalopram. I am feeling a lil better now since my husband got up cause I wanted to go to ER but I ended just asking him to bring me back home, so I do believe it was anxiety. It was my first to wake me up from my sleep so it really frightened me!

Buspar is extremely mild, drug-wise...I am assuming you got started at a low dose and are titrating upward. I wouldn't think you would have a side effect from day one unless you were allergic. As for the other, also assuming you are titrating slowly...it's a drug you could maybe be more likely to have side effects from (as in, more side effects are possible than with buspar, as far as I am aware...I have been on both.). But if you are overly anxious and having anxious dreams I could see you as waking up that way.
I am glad you are feeling better...anxiety is a terrible feeling. I do hope those meds work for you. If this happens again or you continue to feel this anxious, I would definitely call your dr. Until the other drugs kick in, maybe they can give you a drug like valium or ativan (in the benzodiazapine group) to take the edge off of your anxiety.

Thanks so much, I really think it was anti dependent he gave me that made me feel I'll but I'll call him anyway tomorrow. Thanks so much for your help!

Anytime, hugs to you and take care of yourself!

I am happy to be home from work. It has become very anti-social with my coworkers. Mgmt has informed me they are both to be dismissed in the near future, but in the meantime, it is stressful working under them. I can feel the tension and resentment in the air.

Care....
