in the mean time, i would definatly ask your pdoc about one of the ssri's that help anxiety...really, i am getting alot of releif from the celexa , and when i go off of it for a few days, like if i miss it, i can feeel the anxiety, and ocd coming right back...
oh meme, i'm sorry your having such a hard time with the dreaded thing...but have hope, because there are meds that can help, and i don't even take the klonopin, or ativan at all anymore...big huge hugs, love, maggie
I will explan that the anxity has been getting wrost and wrost since my nanny passed and with any stress it just gets wrost ..I really think this is all me convinceing myself sumthong wrong and the docter isnt gunna find it fast so i'll died..like my nanny..he was her docter too she wouldnt do an mri scan so the did a cancer test took 6months to get back 2 weeks later she died..
I Really need to write my nanny a note just saying what i would have if i could kinda like a good bye but not cuz there will be a time i see her agin..Could my fear cuase this all..
just like our fears, or anxieties manifesting all kinds of physical ailments, or sensations, or pains...
fear is very powerful, especially for us...
try not to let it take u meme, try like talking to it, or just observe the thoughts and scary thoughts your getting, but realize it's not u, it's the fear that is in control, so ....if you just try to observe them...and realize that u are not them, then you can get in control again,
but i do recommend meds meme, they help so much and then we are able to kind of do the observing thing you know?
more hugs for u, maggie
Sounds kind of beautiful and peaceful, doesn't it?
Ever tried anything like that? Meditation techniques? Prayer time? You know, something you do only for you, to make you feel better?
You could do that and go to the Dr., too. Heck, you could maybe do it while waiting in the Dr.'s office. The other patients would be twiddling their thumbs and you'd be inhaling 1, 2, 3, and exhaling 1, 2, 3, and just radiating inner peace at everyone. They'd all be so jealous!
