bad morning

I have to work until noon today and I am having very bad anxiety. I have been tense lately and my neck and shoulders and hurting and sore. Even my jaws are tensed up and hurting. I have been feeling so bad that I thought I would have a few drinks hoping it would loosen me up last night. Well, it made my anxiety much worse this morning. Not only do I have the weird anxious feelings but now am also hungover. I should have known better especially since I had to work. Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Just relax and keep thinking i only have a few more hours and i can go home and relax. Ive noticed that your anxiety is really high. Are you taking anything at the moment. Maybe you should see if you can get a massage to help to loosen up as well. I am here if you need anything.

Thanks Quin,
Yes, my anxiety is very bad right now. I just got on zoloft Tuesday, so hopefully it will kick in soon. Right now it just seems to be making me jittery.

sometimes when my neck and jaw are really tense, i use my hand to rest my head on, (under my jawline) and it seems to take some of the tension away. I know you are at work, so maybe you can look at some papers, and try that and act like you are really studying them!! :)

When getting on a new drug, a Antidepressant first few weeks you will feel a bit of anxiety and little side effects, I promise if you stay with it it will go away. Mean while hust keep remembering your starting a new drug and that is all this is, harmless! LOLuck, you can do it!
