the ups and downs of this stupid disease. One week I'm great. The next I have major anxiety and panic attacks. Now I have sunk into this awful dark empty depression feeling again! I woke up this morning, after having woken up every hour all night, and felt like there was a war going on in my stomach and chest. Panic in my stomach. Once I got up, I immediately felt like going back to bed and crying until I fell back asleep. I HATE THIS!! I'm sick of it! I am constantly trying to hld it together at work and in front of my kids. I don't want to do this anymore.

HUGS! I know what you are going through. Anxiety plus being tired or worn out sucks cow cookies! The one seems to add to the other. It's a vicious circle.

Hugs, I understand that. I have been the same lately and with anxiety disorder so I feel you. If something upsets you you get an instant migraine or stomach pain. Hugs I am sorry xo

I hate to see one of my friends going through this.

I hope it is not too lame to say a medication adjustment may be in order. I notice a minimal reference to medication on your personal page. It would be ironic if a simple med change would keep you more level.

Good luck. I hope it is that simple.

I have spoken to my doc about my medication. She thinks it has more to do with what is going on in my life. I decreased my dosage last year and was doing well. It seems to just be the last few months. When I told her about everything that's been going on, more hours at work, the lunatic ex-wife I have hounding me, my ex's father committing suicide and what's been going on with my kids (puberty with two of the four girls!) she said she wants me to try to ride it out for a while. She figures it's all of this that is making me so up and down. Too much stress.

I'm all for riding the waves, but when the shit hits the fan in my life I find an increase in the drugs can help. It's like scaffolding, holding you to a point of relative secirity until things get mended.
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, and like Bistro said, you speak for so many. You are not alone.
