Didn't get much sleep last night which doesn't help with anxiety / depression . I just can't concentrate on work today. I have a deadline so I am stressing out. But can't work! Major brain fog.

I am in mental anguish big time!! I don't know how to cope. I want to give up. Just took a clonazapam so it will help calm me down but not help my concentration.

I need support to carry on. Please.

poppies, its good to post a lot. Things would get stagnant on our boards without lots of input. They make herbal clarity tea. But that doesnt help you right now!

Hello. I'm Catherine, normally called "Cate." I post over and over and over and over.
Disclaimer: Always take meds as prescribed. Check with the psychiatrist about changes. If you are experiencing extreme stress, then please call 9-11 or go to the emergency room.

I hope that you are doing alright. It sounds like you are not.

I wanted to tell you what worked for me yesterday. I have bipolar, GAD and Depression, respectively (officially).

I took my meds and went to bed super early. If you have kids, have hubby take care of them. Try going to bed early tonight and see if that doesn't help.

Another thing that helps or set of things are things like hot baths, good fun, non violent movies like silly Romantic comedies or if you are restless, a good talk with a friend at the coffee shop or restaurant. I recoommend "Cracker Barrell" or "IHOP" as good spots.If you are a youngin' then maybe "Starbucks" is better.

Taking a day off is always good.

But that is what I did last night. I have a totally stable cousin who always goes to bed at 9. I can't do that because I have an other health impaired child and a semi active lifestyle, but I am going to try to go to bed earlier.

Thanks everyone. I feel like I've been beaten up.when I feel hopeless like this I feel like I can't continue. I've told my husband but I don't feels he knows what I mean when I say hopeless. I am going to bed early tonight. Hope the clonazapam will help me sleep. I am having more of these episodes than usual.
