Hi! I haven't posted in a little while. Just haven't felt like getting online much lately. I go through spells. I hope you're all doing well! Even if you're not, just remember, you're not in this alone! Hang in there and take it one moment at a time and try to make the best of it! I've been having really bad anxiety lately. Some days are easier than others. I'm thinking about asking my pdoc to put me on gabapentin for anxiety as it's not a narcotic and not addictive so I have read. I do have de-stressing techniques I use but sometimes they help, and sometimes they don't. Just varies. I usually go walking and do deep breathing. Or lay down, close my eyes and focus on my breathing and just relax. Calming meditative music helps too somewhat. I even have games I play that are relaxing to me. Over the years I have found ways to help me when I'm having bad anxiety but it would really be better if I had something that I could take to knock the edge off. My methods help some, but not when I am overwhelmed with anxiety. Especially when I'm really bad hypomanic. That's my current struggle. On a lighter note, I am supposed to go camping this weekend so that will be good for me. Anyway ya'll take good care and take it easy. Big hugs, peace and blessings!
