I try to take one thing at a time and stay in the present tense. It doesn’t always work.

Isn't it horrible? I have GAD. I distract myself with DU and puzzles

We're with you and holding you up. Remember, you are responsible only for YOU and for YOUR ACTIONS and for YOUR REACTIONS to the actions of others. You are not responsible for the actions of others in any way, shape, or form. Al-Anon might be helpful for you. It sure was for me. Best of luck. and remember, you can always come here to vent!

Hoping upping my meds helps, though I don't want to get addicted.

as being "addicted" to one's mental health meds. There's a huge difference between them and opioids.

Just knowing i have them makes me feel better

I eft the house for the first time since Friday, this morning, only because the kidcats needed kibble. That nearly overwhelming feeling of impending dread is non stop.

Its this awful worrying and feeling of dread. Constant.

I went to Publix today bc I had to. I need to get gas.

It at least takes that horrid feeling out of your chest so that you can begin to think about things in a more organized fashion vs spinning.

Non addictive - worth taking a chance on a vial of the sublingual drops. Yes, a bit expensive but you are worth it.

I think i tried the gummies, but i can't remember. Maybe I'll get the oil. I'll do anything to try and feel normal again. Everything overwhelms me now

More's the pity.

There are other options out there. I hope you can find one that works for you.
