I feel like i'm bouncing off the walls. I'm here alone in my apartment and I hate myself. I can't seem to calm my mind. I went to the gym but it was closed b/c the AC was broken. So I cleaned my house and took a shower instead. I just can't seem to calm down.
I'd like to take a Zanex or something but I dont' have anything - seeing the pdoc on sat. Anything you could suggest that is over the counter? I'm contemplating going to the store and getting benedryl just to go to sleep. |

You must be around me...power outages and heat here(Fairfax Va).....How about a walk.....go out for dinner.?.........exercise in your apt. till you are exhausted...?............meditation?.......can you call a friend?........benedryl would help.........just be careful with it..........
Sorry you feel so bad..........I have xanax which helps...used it for many years and never upped the dose.......have you drank or eaten anything with caffeine?....coffee, soda, chocolate.......don't want to touch any of that...you will just feel worse! Let me know if anything helps.. I undersand those feelings. It feesl like you are jumping out of your skin!!

Can you turn on a movie that you know you enjoy?
What about practicing square breathing exercises? (You can google them if you're not sure what that is) Benadryl in the minimal directed dose might be beneficial. Maybe you could utilize a phone help hotline so that you could talk to someone right away about how you're feeling. I hope you find something that's helpful and feel better soon

THanks for responding. It is quite warm, for sure! I walked the dogs earlier. I'm not even eating anything - I just realized I haven't eaten since lunch when you wrote that suggestion. I just poured myself a glass of milk. Maybe some hot milk would help. I jumped in the shower and a little feel better, but still...Argh...isn't it horrible b/c I feel like I'd love chocolate at this point!
Thanks for your suggestions. I have never experienced anxiety this bad before - I'm just holding out till my appt on Sat - maybe the doc can give me some insight or suggestions. Thanks, tho. Hopefully I'll clonk out soon. |

breathing is good. I am learning how to calm myself without meds. Just me. I hope your doc can help.
