Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hello, all.
So my anxiety has been intense over the past few weeks.It is an almost constant and chronic part of my life.i can't bear it anymore,the physical manifestations of it,the incessant worrying.It seems to have even been waking me up several times a night and i wake up anywhere between 2 and 5 AM without the peace of the early morning that used to comfort me so.
My meds work only for a short time.i felt like i did almost evrything i could think of yesterday to try and alleviate my anxiety,but nothing was working.(It just occured to me that i did not try relaxing music,which is perhaps something i could try today because it has been intense since i woke up at 4:30ish AM,and i don't see it abating any time soon.)
Yesterday i kept thinking i should try and go for a walk,but i just became so scared of leaving the house that i was paralyzed in my chair.i managed to clean a bit,which took my head in a different direction for awhile,but then the anxiety reared it's ugly head once i was done.
i took a lavender and epsom salts bath and that helped for a bit.i ended up sleepy,curled up in a ball for awhile,but the anxiety always returns.
Right now i know i am putting off taking my prns because i know how badly i will need them later,not that,as i said,they really work for very long,if at all really.
My pyschiatrist/therapist has suggested to me that my Rexulti (Is anybody taking it?) may be causing me to be restless as a side effect,but i have no perspective as to if this was just as bad before i started taking it,and i don't even know how long i have been taking it now,which is something i guess i need to ask him.
Anyway,i'm sorry.Just venting i guess.i don't really know what i am asking here.
i just desperatley need this to get better.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
