Panic

I am glad you are journaling your progress. I too am still suffering from morning anxiety and lack of appetite. I take the meds in the morning which can be difficult if I don't eat something first.

Keeping preoccupied is good, relaxing is good too ( taking a bath...)

Hang in there and I look forward to reading your progress.

Get some rest and the head ache will be gone soon

Hey Panic,

Sorry to hear you are having a rough day...is it possible to go out for a walk or do some exercise? I kow it probably sounds difficult to think about doing right now but it may help you.

I had a headache this morning too and took some Ibuprofen which help taking it away...

Hang in there, feeling better is on the horizon.

Pcdaft
07-01-11, 12:45
thanks for your reply? sorry for moaning i think i will try and take dog for a walk later ? got appt for doc today but just a locum i dont like going to locums as they dont know you well ? just going to take two paracetamol hopefully that will take it away not so much off a sore head just a burning sensation in the crown of my head and sore ears but dont rally have sore ears if you know what i mean ? how you feeling today ? i hope you are well ? xx

Anxious-in-Canada
07-01-11, 14:02
Hi Panic,

Don't be sorry, moaning, bitching and whining is a healthy outlet. Let it out, if you pent it up then anxiety uses it as fuel...which is why it is important to have a empathetic person to talk with at least once a week for thirty minutes...

Do try to walk the dog, I think it will help you out.

Sometimes a professional opinion can be reassuring too, so I hope your appointment with the locums is a good one.

Hang in there, you will get there soon.

07-01-11, 14:11
Don't know whether to go or not ? I feel so stupid going there for nothing ?x

Anxious-in-Canada
07-01-11, 15:50
It is how you are feeling though... don't feel stupid for seeking help, it is better to ask for help than internalize it. Interalization will feed the anxiety...you have starve that *******!! LOL!

If you don't feel like going then don't, try doing some relaxation (reading, bubble bath, watch a favorite movie....) give yourself a break, you are in a temporary hard spot right now and will be in a better place soon...

It is ok to not feel great at the moment, just remember it will only be temporary...

Hope this helps...

Pcdaft
07-01-11, 16:24
whats interliazation not heard that word before ? thanks for reply?

Anxious-in-Canada
07-01-11, 16:32
What I mean is not to hold your feelings in. Keeping your feeling internal.

Liike crying and laughing is expressing sadness and joy...fear is a feeling and anxiety is not a feeling....

hope I explained it well...

Hint feeling well at all head banging can't sleep I was going to take. A diazepam but don't know if I can mix them x just to calm me down?

Anxious-in-Canada
08-01-11, 01:23
You can mix them. I used two years ago together. If you need the sleep use it as prescribed.

I did find they made me spaced out when I woke up

Hey Panic

Sorry to hear you had a rough day. Get some rest and don't beat yourself up some days will really suck but they will be only a few as most days will be good.

Day six had a no bad day apart from
Getting really anxious at work tonight round about time when I take my meds I had to sit in canteen for a while ? Took my mess and I was ok more or less ? I think I will have to shift from taking them at night to morning the I would be ok at work? Then the problem there is will I sleep ? I used to work dayshift last time and took them at night so it was ok during the day and become night time I was ready to take them as I had to get up at 4.45 early I know I was really scared tonight ? Hopebyous all had a good day take care xx

Anxious-in-Canada
10-01-11, 12:43
Hey Panic

It is rough going back to work, which can add to the anxiety levels...I know I am feeling that today...

It will get better, it is just hard to see that right now. The only concern I would have about changing time of day for the meds is effecting your sleep. Sleep is critical to this whole feeling better thing...try it and see if it work though...

Hang in there and have a good day.

Hey Panic,

It is only a a short period you have been on this med...I am sure things will turn around soon for you. You are on 5mg is there a plan to increase to 10 mg at some point? Not an expert by any means but I thought 10mg is usually the minimum dosage....

Have you tried the deep breathing exercises at all? They could help you during moments of high anxiety.

I really hope you have a better day today, you will get through this I am certain of it. Remember your beautiful grand daughter, she can give you inspiration....

Pcdaft
14-01-11, 16:15

Hi Panic

Sorry to hear you are having a rough day, me too. One positive for you is you symptom seem to be where I am at with up and downs so you may be getting closer to feeling better in a shorter period of time.

I hope your day turns around and you start to feel better.

Is it sunny there? If so try to sit in it for a while it may help with your mood.

Hang in there xx

Anxious-in-Canada
20-01-11, 13:04
I am sure it is the hospital visit, very common for people to feel anxious when getting tests done at the hospital. You will get through it though.

It is encouraging that you are feeling better and once you have a few days of feeling better it will start to be how you feel more often.....hang in there.

Your tests will be fine, I am sending you positive energy all the way from Canada !!!!

Hey Panic,

reading about your symptoms can be alarming. Remember though that symptoms are not unique to one ailment, and if you really think about it your anxiety can make you think you have the worst things imaginable...just remember it like 99% wrong all the time. Wait for the results of your tests and you will see that you are fine ( I really believe that..)

Hang in there, you will be through this all soon!

Hi Panic, that is the way it went for me too. Up and down but now I have almost five good days in a row. Hang in there you are close to getting there.

I too was impatient, I understand that frustration.

Hang in there, you cut back on propanolol which could be causing you some withdrawal symptoms...maybe stick it out for a day or two and see if one dose a day works ?... your decision though.

Hey Panic,

Don't stress it (easier said than done I know!) but I suffered from migraines when I was younger and the major fix was glasses....not that my vision is bad but the strain of my eyes and light sensitivity would trigger these crushing pains in my head were I had find a dark room and literally push my fist into my eyes to relieve the pain....not fun...but a pair glasses fixed this for me!

if that is the case for then it is an easy fix! YAY!!! These are the best kind of fixes!!!!

Hope youy day goes well, take care.

Great news Panic glad to hear you are feeling better.

About the scans, the good news about scans coming late is that is a great indication that there is nothing serious otherwise they would be rushing you back to see them. So stay positive, I am certain you have no worries.

I had some major test a couple of years ago, the results took forever but my GP did her best to analyze them and set me at ease until I got the specialists opinion. Which he confirmed her analysis... Remember specialist will focus on the worst case first ...

Oh I'm sorry... haven't read all the pages, but I need to know how you are finding Escitalopram?
Do they put weight on in the long term?
I don't know what to do.

Thanks for any input.

Anxious-in-Canada
15-02-11, 15:26
Hi Catya,

About weight gain....I have read many places that most antidepression drugs can cause weight gain but it is not really a sypmtom/side effect of the drug but related to the result of the drug.

When anxious/depressed most people will have poor appetites, so when the medication has finally kicked in people are feeling better and have regained their appetite because they are feeling better...

Two ways to address this is to eat healthy choices and exercise.

My opinion is that feeling better is more important!!

This is great news! Yes it is inspiring to read the progress of people and use it to relate back to our own struggles. We are can get better and it does take hard work but the reward it SO worth it!

I too have GAINED benefit from your posts as well as SMB's. It can feel like you are isolated from people but when you read that others are experiencing this struggle and understand what you are going through it helps to reduce the feeling of being alone. I think everyone should try to journal their days (whether on here or in a journal book/diary) it really does help!

Take Care and talk soon

Hi Panic,

Sorry to hear you are experiencing a rough patch. Look back at your posts though, and see how you had experienced them before and they ended up going away.

Try to do the things you did that helped you before. walks, talks, cleaning etc...

Weddings are a stressful period, but you arent getting married...LOL Your son is, and he has all the stress. You may have some things to do with the wedding but mostly it is for you to enjoy. Try to enjoy it, keep positive thoughts, things always work out even if they dont go to plan....if you are nervous about being around people remember where everyone's focus is going to be...the bride and groom!

Urine infections are curable, so it will be gone in a day or two...

Hang in there, you will get through this just fine.

Try some deep breathing exercises, getting out for walks, talking to people (whining moaning complaining....) cleaning the house, anything that makes you relax and calm...

Take care

Hi Panic

Don't worry about coming on here and moaning, well actually its not moaning, its expressing how you feel. That is why the forum is here, for help/support and advice when needed. If you haven't been on for a long time, I take that as a good sign that things are going well for you! :D

Try not to let your sons wedding stress you out too much. But just remember that EVERYONE suffers with pre wedding nerves, whether your the bride, groom, best man, bridesmaid or parents. Its perfectly natural. Your feelings are more intensified because your an anxiety sufferer, therefore associate normal anxiousness in a much in depth way. Sorry english was never my best subject so not great at explanations!

Follow what AIC hgs said above and remember, you WILL be fine.

Have a fantastic day and congrats to your son.

These posts have been extremely helpful and while I am at Day 50 and not great I still take hope from reading your experiences. Just helps alot to know that these anxiety symptoms are not a sign that I,m completely "nutty".
