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.

Wine may not be best it this point... When trying to get used to the meds.

Get some rest and the head ache will be gone soon

You will get there too very 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.

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

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.

Don't know whether to go or not ? I feel so stupid going there for nothing ?x

[Anxious-in-Canada]

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...
