Rough day

Hi, just joined the site. I've had anxiety and panic attacks since probably age 4-5. I wasn't diagnosed till my first semester at college and now being 31 I've had my share of treatment and meds and all of the things. Im currently in between prescribers and meet with my new psychiatrist next week. I've been struggling with seroquel side effects (anyone else?). I guess I just wanted to say hi and I had a rough day today and was feeling lonely and found this. Hoping for some support.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've done the most important thing in writing it out.

Best wishes as you find your better balance with this group of people who are understanding, accepting, and encouraging in this challenging situation.

Hi and welcome! I'm not on seroquel, but my antidepressant had some pretty bad side effects at first. It took weeks for me to get used to it. Side effects are normal at first, but if they're difficult to deal with, I'd talk with your doctor about switching. There's nothing wrong with trying different meds to find out which one suits you best.

I came here for the same reason, feel free to reach out if you want to talk!

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    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.
