I am on med 5mg ciperlax and have ask my doc to move up but she does not think i need to.

i think that dealing with anx is a day to day struggle.

u get good days when u celebrate and feel up, then bad ones when u cant leave the house.

im trying to just deal with it one day ay a time and be as positive as possible, and not beat myself up so much when ive 'failed'.

one thing i do like to do is keep a mood diary, which helps keep things into perspective. sometimes when ur down u think its ben forever, when actually it may have only been a couple of days since feeling positive. reflecting back over a couple of weeks gives u more balance

take care

love milly xxx

Hi hun :D :hugs:

It is great to hear your concelling helped, did you find the root cause of your anxiety hun?

When I was acute, I came to this site suffering pa's, high anxiety in fear 24/7. I like you, was on edge, all day every day, well there seemed nooo let up at all, untill I found this great site :yesyes:

Having ups and downs hun, is all part of recovery, please, try dame hard to focus MORE on your good days, than bad, please, eccept how you are now, BUT, DO NOT expect to feel ths way forever, all days are different when we are recovering, WE NEED to notice this, we NEED when the day starts bad, NOT, to try dame hard and think that this bad start to the day, will not last the next second, min, or even the rest of the day. Lern to eccept, but NOT to expect, ohh do that make any sense? hehe.

The fact that your gp does not want to up your meds, this says to me, ohhh how well you are doing, please, see this hun, praise yourself, YOUR DOING GREAT :yesyes: :bighug1:

Hope this has helped hun, IT WILL GET BETTER HUN, please, be patiant with yourself, it take time to get better.

YOU TAKE CARE


LOVE JILLXX
