That sounds encouraging. Sounds like they may have started working for you
. . . . I'll definitely give it a few more days at least (and I'm still signed off work next week) . . . . but I really do hate resorting to meds . . . I think I'm just still so frustrated with the work situation, which in turn makes me angry inside and therefore makes my body ache and all hell brakes loose with the adrenalin etc etc . . . as things currently stand, I'm also not finding enjoyment in anything to speak of (i.e. miserable outlook, but generally well-hidden from others), though I don't actually feel that depressed as it were. Strange thing for me is that I don't get heart paplitations, hyper-ventilation or tremor etc . . . just intensely wound up feeling, frustrated, tenseness, nauseous and a fair amount of negative thoughts and/or underlying 'feeling of dread' . . . . I am however, doing relaxation, cutting down the alcohol (slowly) and trying to keep physically active (decorating) . . . . what are your self-help techniques?
