Sorry feeling terrible

Thanks for support I did go to meet new employer. I held myself together some how. And starting there Monday. My old job won't b happy but this is a great chance for me. It hasn't gone well there it's been one thing after the other. I did try I put everyone first in front of myself and then I suffer. I have applied do some Councilling in my own area. So I b going there for support. I do resist medication there's such a stigma attached to them . I want to start enjoying life again . Thanks for prayers ,

Good luck Libertybell on your new job.! I have a question... I have been taking 1/2 of the .25 mg of Xanax prescribed. Should I take what the dr ordered instead of cutting in half. The half wasn't working at all. Dr said it's to
Help me and take it but then I feel guilty I can't help myself and rely on meds.

Congrats & good luck with your new job! I couldn't agree more with what lightandlove said. Anxiety is just a voice, the real you made it to the interview and got the job. The real you is completely capable of handling anything thrown at it. It's so hard to stop listening and stop believing that voice. But it can be done and you are well on your way by going after the things you want, like your new job. Best wishes!
Beachshore, I know many ppl have issues with meds. It doesn't make you weak or any less of a person to need their help. And you are not relying on them. You are helping yourself tho, by taking meds you were prescribed. You may only end up taking it for a short period. There is nothing wrong with that. I would try taking it how it has been prescribed to see if it helps you more.

WOO-HOO! Go LibertyBell! Congratulations on your new job! I'm sure you'll do great. You should give yourself some credit. It takes great courage to make a change - especially a job change. It's scary for anybody leaving something they know and going to a place where the people are new, the environment is new,and the responsibilities are new. Just remember to take one day at a time and if that feels too overwhelming some days, it's okay. Just tune it down a bit. Instead of concentrating on the whole day, break it down. Get through one hour at a time. And when the hour passes, remember to pat yourself on the back for getting through it. You'll gain convidence as the hours pass, then the days...who knows? Maybe you'll end up being the CEO! Good luck!

Does anyone get an upset stomach with their anxiety?

Thanks for al the support here everyone. Yea leaving a job behind is really scary. I blame my self for it going so bad. Starting a new job is overwhelming especially it's a new role completely . I'm in panic mode I suppose. I don't want to let my family down half of me thinks I shouldn't b working at all and I'm making a show of myself . I've no belief in myself at all . But I know I won't b happy not working . So I have try to keep working. Yes thanks Antsilly I'll try breakdown my day. Down so it's nots so overwhelming. I'm still in a lot of pain with my foot as it's infected so I'm worrying I won't b able to work with it as it's on fire at the moment. God can anything go right for me. Anyway again thanks for support. And beechsore I would advise you to continue taking medication as when tried stopping that's when things went all wrong for me. Being on a tablet is not the worst thing in the world. Don't mind anyone else opinions this is to help you through a bad time thats all.

Thanks Libertybell. I called the Dr to see if I can increase the Xanax today. They will get back with me but because how I felt I took .50 this am. The nurse said the .25 is a low dose. I actually feel a little less anxious.

That's good beachshore I'm glad u feel better. We know ourselves better than anyone. We don't want to or should have to suffer. Talk to your doctor and tell him or her you still don't feel right. Put other people's opinions out of your mind if u can. I find medication helps. I do the headspace app I find it good. See your thoughts and feelings like clouds passing by and a blue sky behind these thoughts. Hope u feel better
