I am in a heightened anxious state the last while. Having an awful lot of panics.:weep:
I have picked up quite a bit of info re panic in the last few years from here, CBT, psychotherapy, anxiety management training and now know a fair bit about anxiety and its physical reactions and stuff.:blush:
However, this by no means means that I am cured! I just know a lot of the theory! I still get huge anx probs at times, like recently for example.:mad:
I get an embarrassing need to go to the loo (yes....go go....not wee!) when anxious which is normally worked around...eg I go before any event. However, this problem is getting huge and problematic. I know this is because my digestion is stopped and my body needs to become lighter in order to fight or take flight.....BUT knowing it doesn't make it any easier!:mad:
I am really struggling with lifes events and I really cannot stand the anxiety any longer and just want to reach for my diazepam to make the physical reactions less. I am needing to go use the bathroom with urgency just so many times a day I am even more anxious about leaving the house! Twice today I had to return as the anxiety was growing and I was fearful the 'need' would arise! It is a viscious circle. Any ideas other than reaching for the diazepams?
I am going to speak to my psychiatrist about it on monday but it is not my regular doc, it is a junior and I don't rate him much. I am also afraid I will not be given more diazepam as he is worried I get addicted.
