I have been out of work now since the 21st and new to the meds and counseling. The meds have me like a zombie and I am so unfunctionable and unorganized.
I am still having axiety everytime I think about work. I am ashamed and embarrassed and this is supposed to be the time for me to get well but this is bringing on more stress and bad feelings and making me ashamed to leave my house more then ever!! It is real bad!! It is not something I have been able to control and it is spinning out of control. I can't even believe I am able to type this or even join in this group it is so bad but it is the easiest thing I can do to be part of society and feel human and I am forcing myself to do it. I have not been able to do anything..everytime I try I get side tracked and just sit there with my mind going a million miles per hour. The PSTD counseling has me just trying not to think and when I go I leave and I have such a nervous feeling I tremble and shake so bad my jaw chatters very hard and I can hardly walk! I don't know what kind of advice I am asking I am just getting it out. I guess like a diary before I don't let it out and it builds up inside with everything else. Thanks |

Hey there mismis, So sorry you are feeling low. Remember that the meds take a little while before they work, are you taking an anti anxiety? that is usually a more immediate help. As far as being organized, that will come with time. I too am unorganized especially when I am down or ever before I started therapy last year. Still am to some degree and in some areas I am worse than other areas ...still. If you are not organized right now, dont sweat it...it will get better. Like my T tells me, "dont beat yourself up". You are doing your best right now and that is all that matters. Also find something that comforts you...not sure what you are in to but something simple that makes you feel even a little bit better. As far as not thinking...well I dont think that is possible. I think your mind is gonna keep thinking and disecting, and figuring stuff out until it is done, and who knows how long that can take. For me Journaling was my 2nd T, I could write and write and write. Now I write here on PC and in my journal both a book and saved to my files on my computer..and I email my T sometimes too ... depends on what the issue is. Walking helps too....even if its around the block once.... I dont know if any of this helps...(praying is good too)...but I hope you feel better and you can relax and understand it will take time....you are going to be OK

Thank you. I would like to go for a walk but have been freaking out about leaving the house. The only enjoyment I have had or cormfort is staying home and not getting dressed...it is comfort and stress at the same time.
The more I try to get my mind to do it the worse it gets???????? |

Can you ask a friend to walk with you? You need to get out there and do what you like. Keep writing here. It really helps most people. Take care.
