I used to be a night owl

To lessen this feeling?

If Tiger my outdoor kitty doesn’t show up on time , the anxiety gets worse, I expect him to be late tonight because pouring rain I wish I did have some kind of routine

I go to therapy.

I think we have pink eye now.

Trying to breathe

I hope you're okay now. Worrying about health will bring on anxiety, for sure.

For two more years. I think it adds to the insomnia and anxiety, it’s kind of like menopause all over again. I’m very grateful it was caught in time, only lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. I’ve been terrified of cancer ever since my mom died over 30 years ago.

May make mine worse.

definitely made my anxiety worse. Friends of mine have said the same. ... Some of whom, never had issues with anxiety prior.

In fact I had a wave of anxiety hit me, yesterday, after therapy, and again this afternoon. I'm going to take an Ativan to help me sleep.

Pray we don't have covid

I also eat potassium rich fruits (banana/apricot) at night.

I try to stay away from benzodiazapines because of my propensity towards addictive behavior, so I use zoloft and it helps me. It helps lift the sword of damacles feeling I get for no apparent reason.

I worry constantly. I became disabled and no longer work.

It's just this feeling something bad is going to happen. I never used to be like this.

I took a xanax

if the Xana in Xanax made its way into your DU screen name? Was that deliberate?

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Had nothing to do with it. I like the poem and movie Xanadu

Olivia Newton-John sure was a talent.

My doctor prescribed escitalopram. I have to take one pill daily. It has helped me.

Do you have any particular chopping skills. I want others' opinions. I'm so sick of feeling this way

when the med wore off so I didn't take it very long.

I don't mean to be dismissive, but have found that music is really helpful along with audio books.

I hope you feel better soon.

Life has been stressful and crazy these last years . I hope this gets better. I was okay earlier. Watching All the Presidents Men now.

And having a lunatic at the helm of a major political party, and nutbags who worship him, is certainly not helpful.

Hopefully justice is not far off and we'll all have a sense of relief.

Hang in there my friend. As the saying goes, this too shall pass.

don't know if it is. the pandemic or circumstances at home.

No more COVID!!! I so hope it’s just allergies or something.

Be well my friend.

SO's test was negative, if he did it right. I do think we both have pink eye.

You rock!

Glad his test was negative.

Hang in there!
